In the beginning, C++ was a hard language to learn because it required programmers to master low-level techniques to work with memory. Over the years, C++ has evolved to provide higher-level techniques that make it much easier to write effective code. But most C++ books havent evolved with the language. Until now. Now, this book uses modern C++ to get you off to a fast start, and then builds out your coding and OOP skills to the professional level. At that point, it also covers older techniques so youll be able to maintain the vast amount of legacy code thats out there, as well as work with embedded systems that dont support the newer techniques.
