Effective Modern C++

Topics include: - The pros and cons of braced initialization, noexcept specifications, perfect forwarding, and smart pointer make functions - The relationships among std::move, std::forward, rvalue references, and universal references - Techniques for writing clear, correct, effective lambda expressions - How std::atomic differs from volatile, how each should be used, and how they relate to C++'s concurrency API - How best practices in "old" C++ programming (i.e., C++98) require revision for software development in modern C++ Effective Modern C++ follows the proven guideline-based, example-driven format of Scott Meyers' earlier books, but covers entirely new material. "After I learned the C++ basics, I then learned how to use C++ in production code from Meyer's series of Effective C++ books. Effective Modern C++ is the most important how-to book for advice on key guidelines, styles, and idioms to use modern C++ effectively and well. Don't own it yet? Buy this one.
