Learning Modern C++: An Absolute Beginner's Friendly Introduction from C++11 to C++23

If you've ever stood at the edge of C++ curious but overwhelmed, inspired but unsure where to start, this book was written for you!

"Learning Modern C++" is not just a technical manual. It's a guided journey through one of the most powerful and enduring programming languages in existence, crafted with patience, clarity, and heart. Authored by David I. Huang, a seasoned software engineer who has lived the real-world evolution of C++ from its classical roots to its most modern expressions, this book bridges the intimidating gap between curiosity and confidence.

In these pages, you won't find cold theory or scattered tips. You'll find a structured, supportive path-from your first line of code to your first coroutine, from understanding variables to mastering templates, from writing console programs to building real-world multithreaded applications. You'll not only learn how modern C++ works-you'll come to understand why its new features matter, and how they solve real problems that developers face today.

This book speaks to:

• Absolute beginners who want a friendly, comprehensive foundation in C++.

• Self-taught programmers seeking to modernize their C++ skills from C++98 or earlier.

• Students and professionals preparing for interviews or looking to write safer, cleaner, and more performant code.

With thoughtful explanations, practical code examples, and coverage of the entire modern C++ standard-C++11 through C++23, this book ensures you're not learning outdated syntax, but mastering a living, evolving language.

Every chapter was designed to help you build momentum, giving you tools you can use immediately and knowledge that compounds with every page. More than just a programming book, it's a mentor in print-a resource you'll return to long after your first compile.

Why read this book?
Because learning C++ doesn't have to be painful. It can be empowering. It can be exciting.
And it can start today-with clarity, depth, and guidance from someone who's walked this road before.
