Ebook: C++17 By Example

Who This Book Is For

This book is for developers who would like to develop software in C++. Basic programming experience would be an added advantage.

What You Will Learn

In Detail

C++ is a general-purpose programming language built with a bias towards embedded programming and systems programming. Over the years, C++ has evolved and is used to develop software for many different sectors. Given its versatility and robustness, C++is a wonderful language to start your coding journey with. This book covers exciting projects built in C++ that show how to implement the language in different scenarios. While developing these projects, you will not only learn the language constructs but also how you can use C++ to meet your software requirements.

The book starts with a brief introduction to C++ language constructs where you will learn essential concepts that are required to understand the projects covered in the book. The first module will build a library management system that will teach you how to perform efficient file handling and use pointers in your software. To give you a taste of GUI programming, the next module will build graphical applications using Qt 5. You will then be introduced to game design in C++ and build two interesting games. The final module will teach you how C++ can be used to create a Domain Specific Language.

After reading this book, you will have mastered core programming concepts in C++, and how to implement them effectively.

Style and approach

Core concepts are covered with the help of examples that promote learning by coding.
