description: Coming to grips with C11 and C14 is more than a matter of familiarizing yourself with the features they introduce (e.g. auto type declarations move semantics lambda expressions and concurrency support). The challenge is learning to use those features effectivelyso that your software is correct efficient maintainable and portable. Thats where this practical book comes in. It describes how to write truly great software using C11 and C14i.e. using modern C. Topics The pros and cons of braced initialization noexcept specifications perfect forwarding and smart pointer make functions The relationships among rvalue references and universal references Techniques for writing clear correct effective lambda expressions How 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. C98) 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.
