What I really want, is a C++ book that lists the absolutely must-have features for a beginner-intermediate programmer, I don't want to be overloaded(no pun intended) with all those 2000 advanced features, I can read an advanced level book when I'm ready.
Basic types, smart-pointers(how to use them and when to use them), basic OOD and template(but no advanced tricks), essential algorithms and containers, that's about them. No need on constexpr, rtii etc for now.
In this fast-paced world it's hard to get interested in any books more than 300 pages for me.
- lfowles 6y ago"A Tour of C++" is only 256 pages and the 1st edition is what I used to get into modern C++ in the workplace years after a strange mix of C/C++ labs in college.
- synergy20 6y agotrue, a great book that I'm reading now, but it's more of a 'tour guide' indeed. It's probably the closest I can find however.
- ku-man 6y agoI also wish such book could exist. Seems we have to rely in our instincts to realize when an author is getting a bit too "enthusiastic" with C++.
