Tour of C++, A

O autor acertou em cheio nesta edição. Eu não programo muito C++ hoje em dia, mas sei o suficiente pra entender o que está acontecendo, e o conteúdo do livro é estruturado de tal forma, que faz você se sentir como se programasse há tempos; mas não se engane, este livro, como é notado na introdução, mostra apenas uma fração do que significa "C++ moderno".Curto as referências que são feitas entre tópicos/parágrafos (usando o símbolo §), é fácil e não é tumultuado, em outras palavras, eu não necessariamente tenho que saber o que foi dito ou o que será dito para que se entenda o que está sendo lido no agora.A abordagem direta, e até jocosa, do autor facilita entender onde o C++ peca: brincadeiras (trágicas) com "infelizmente", ou, "por razões obscuras", descontraem do valor técnico do livro, mas não muito.Enfim, o título do livro de fato resume seu conteúdo: uma turnê do que há de novo, além de dicas.Preparem-se para módulos em C++, eles já estão aqui, falta semear.

Este libro asume que tienes conocimientos básicos en programación. Es bastante bueno para entender el uso de C++ desde un punto de vista más avanzado e integrando nuevas funcionalidades del estándar C++ 20.

A bit disjointed, but straight to the point.On the one hand, this is how I wish more programming books were written: they assume the reader knows programming already and only needs to learn the topic at hand, rather than describing the universe from scratch before getting to its actual content.On the other hand, it jumps seemingly randomly between topics; sometimes with too much detail, sometimes with not enough; sometimes referencing things back and forth too much.As far as C++ books go, this is probably one of the best, and a mandatory read to keep up with modern C++ (even if it's aimed at C++20). I just wish it was more even.

Some are put off by C++'s apparent complexity and size. Since the ISO C++98 standard many new features have been added to what was already quite a rich language with lots of dark corners to understand. Many teams working in C++ have established a minimal working set so that they can focus a programming style that matches their way of working.In the face of all that, C++ has gained many new features of the years and across revisions of the standards; C++11, C++17 and c++20 have all contributed considerable expressive power and new ways of doing things.The poor programmer may feel overwhelmed with modern C++ and not know where to start.Whether you are a C++ beginner, or an experienced old hand like myself, this book, written by C++ creator Bjarne Stroustrup, is a mercifully short journey through the language.Whilst each topic is not covered in the kind of depth the language standard or a complete textbook may provide, it is covered conversationally, practically and with precision. The idea is you can read the book in a few days and come away with an overview of C++ as a language.In meeting that goal admirably this is a great addition to any C++ programmers book shelf. For a beginner, Stroustrup advises other texts first, but overall the material is presented quite accessibly and experienced programmers will have no trouble understanding most of the content.

Like its predecessors, this edition provides insights into the reasons behind the design of C++. This third edition introduces, briefly, new C++ 20 idioms.
