5.0 out of 5 stars Changes I Needed To Make, To Run The Examples In The Visual Studio IDE
On 5/1/2025, I got the Beginning C++23 book and initially had issues running the examples in a Windows 11 environment with Visual Studio Community version, until I changed two Project Properties. Shout out to the Project Run Space article, “How to Configure Visual Studio 2022 to Use C++ Standard Library Modules”. It shows configuring the Project Properties to use C++20, which I adapted to configure C++23.In the General Configuration Properties, the default C++ Language Standard property is “Default (ISO C++14 Standard)”. To run the examples, it needs to be changed to “Preview - ISO C++23 Standard (/std:c++23preview)”. In the future, when Visual Studio fully supports C++23, then the property should be changed.In the C/C++ Configuration Properties, the default Scan Sources for Module Dependencies is set to “No”. To run the examples, it needs to be changed to “Yes”.It was convenient for me to create a template of the Console Project. I arbitrarily called it “BeginningC++23-Console” with these configuration changes, so I could select “Create a new project” and then select this template and have all the Project Properties above applied.Best wishes!
5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book for programmers who are looking for detailed information about C++
I've been programming, personally and professionally, for over 40 years now. I really needed a book like this to fill in my knowledge gaps between C and C++. I learned Object Oriented Programming with Java and Python. But, being a long-time C programmer, I really just cobbled enough info together to use C++ without understanding the nitty-gritty details. I wanted to fix that gap and this book does just that. This shouldn't be your first C++ book unless you are an experienced programmer in another language, or you know C very well. My recommendation is to first learn C++ using a more "cookbook oriented" book for beginners (Think Sams type books) and then come back for this one if needed. This book was exactly what I was looking for. It reminds me of a couple other outstanding books on C, that are also nuts and bolts type books, from back in the day. Those books laid an excellent foundation for me, and this one will do the same for you using C++. It's not a fast read, but it's worth taking the time to read it cover to cover. That's my goal.
5.0 out of 5 stars I serious book for the serious leraner
I just started reading, studying, and practicing this book, which is going fluently.Lovely writing by knowledgeable persons.I recommend this book!
5.0 out of 5 stars Better than previous editions
Previous editions were tied to one version of a particular software. This edition will work with any recent version.
1.0 out of 5 stars You can't compile the example programs.
This is a very nice book indeed. Still, I don't know where all these glowing reports are coming from. In my experience, none of the current compilers will handle C++ "Modules". All of the code in this book depends on "import std;", referring to the standard C++ module. I am on linux, so I have tried g++ 13, 14, and 15. g++ 15 is so new that I had to build it by hand! I have tried clang. Nothing works. I have fallen back to another "very nice" book on c++11, which is a prerequisite for yet another "very nice" book on c++17.Don't waste your money on this book! If you don't believe me, write "import std;" as the first statement in a running C++ program. "Hello World" will suffice. Recompile it and see what your compiler tells you.
A Fantastic Journey into Modern C++!
I've been wanting to learn C++ for ages, but always felt a bit intimidated by it. I'd dabbled in other programming languages, but C++ always seemed like a mountain to climb. Then I stumbled across "Beginning C++23" and I'm so glad I did! This book is exactly what I needed.The author has a really engaging writing style. It's clear, concise, and doesn't assume you're already a programming whiz. They start with the absolute basics – explaining what variables are, how loops work, etc. – and build up gradually. What I really appreciate is how they explain why things work the way they do, not just how. That made a huge difference in my understanding.I was particularly impressed with the coverage of C++23 features. It's not just a rehash of older C++ stuff, but genuinely focuses on the latest and greatest. I'm already using some of the new features in my own projects, which is awesome. The examples are practical and relevant, and they really help to solidify the concepts.Honestly, I was expecting to get bogged down in the more complex topics like pointers and templates, but the author explains them so clearly that I actually grasped them pretty quickly. There are plenty of exercises and challenges throughout the book, which are great for testing your understanding and building your skills.If you're a complete beginner looking to learn C++, or even if you have some experience but want to get up to speed with C++23, I highly recommend this book. It's well-written, easy to follow, and genuinely enjoyable to read. It took the intimidation out of learning C++ and has given me the confidence to tackle more complex programming projects.Definitely a worthwhile investment!
Embalagem ruim. Mas o livro é muito bom.
A entrega foi bem rápida, considerando que foi uma compra internacional. Mas o pacote era muito frágil (um envelope, sem nenhum preenchimento). O livro chegou com os cantos amassados e com a lombada danificada, como aparece na foto.O conteúdo do livro é muito bom. Material completo e bem organizado. Cobre muito bem os recursos recentes da linguagem C++. Algumas _features_ ainda nem foram implementadas no GCC.
Best book in terms of programing
The description of the book says that the reader will learn C++ after reading...AND IT'S TOTALLY TRUE. This book it's the Holly Grail of engineering and creating marvelous programs with C++. Nobody's paying me to sah this and I'm not affiliated with anyone. I already read half of it ( it have 918 pages) and already I run my first program using C++. I had 0 experience with C++ and I badly needed to learn. IT'S INSANITY, I never thought I can learn a programing language at my age, so quickly.The autors explain everything step by step starting from very easy ( a small description of what is and what c++ does) towards profesional level. They explain everything, I mean EVERYTHING, from the definition of functions, what a function do, her definition and what role that command have inside of the program and so on. It's incredible.The book arrived as new, wrapped in a foil. I praise the seller.
PLUS Ontario Sales Tax $7.24 and Handling $7.25
Yes, this excellent book is worth the extra cost. I do not think it is really a good book for a beginner starting from zero. But for anyone with some programming knowledge the 918 pages are packed full. Although it only covers most of what most people would ever need, it does not cover every tiny detail of the complete C++23 language. In its seventh edition it is free of errors and a very thorough work.
Modern C++ mindset done right!
I'm at a beginner level on C++, and have been looking for tutorials and books on modern C++ for a long time. Where most tutorials and books use old-fashioned C++ most of the way and mention modern C++ in appendices or late chapters, this book is all about modern C++ from the very beginning.As an example, no std::cout, no #include directives, just modern C++ all the way, I love it and I love C++23!
