A curated list of resources for learning and using modern C++ (C++11 and later): books, talks, blogs, websites, project templates, and high-quality libraries.
A curated list of resources for learning and using modern C++ (C++11 and later): books, talks, blogs, websites, project templates, and high-quality libraries.Is this a tutorial or just a list of links?It's an awesome-list: a curated index pointing to external books, talks, blogs, websites, and libraries, not a tutorial itself.
It's an awesome-list: a curated index pointing to external books, talks, blogs, websites, and libraries, not a tutorial itself.How is the list organized?It's split into sections like Books, Community, Talks, Blogs, Websites, Project Starter Templates, and Libraries (further broken into Testing, Benchmarking, Logging, Threading, Parsing & Serialization, Web/HTTP, Database, Misc, etc.).
It's split into sections like Books, Community, Talks, Blogs, Websites, Project Starter Templates, and Libraries (further broken into Testing, Benchmarking, Logging, Threading, Parsing & Serialization, Web/HTTP, Database, Misc, etc.).Where should a beginner start?The Books section lists foundational reads such as 'A Tour of C++' and 'The C++ Programming Language' by Bjarne Stroustrup, plus 'Effective Modern C++' by Scott Meyers for practical guidance.
