Writing a book like this one is never just the work of an individual person, the author. There are always numerous, fabulous people who contribute significantly to such a great project.

First, there was Steve Anglin of Apress. Steve contacted me in March 2016 for the first edition of Clean C++. He persuaded me to continue my book project with Apress Media LLC, which had been self-published at Leanpub. The self-publishing platform Leanpub served as a kind of "incubator" for a few years, but then I decided to finish and publish the book with Apress. Steve was also the one who contacted me in 2019 and asked me if I wanted to release a second edition that would take into account the emerging C++20 language standard. Well, he was obviously quite successful.

Next, I would like to thank Mark Powers, Editorial Operations Manager at Apress, for his great support during the writing of the manuscript for both editions. Mark was not only always available to answer questions, but his incessant follow-up on the progress of the manuscript was a positive incentive for me. I am very grateful to you, dear Mark.

In addition, many thanks also to Matthew Moodie, Lead Development Editor at Apress, who has provided proper help throughout the whole book development process.

A special thank you goes out to my technical reviewer Marc Gregoire. Marc critically examined every single chapter of both editions. He found many issues that I probably would have never found. He pushed me hard to improve several sections, and that was really valuable to me. Thank you!

Of course, I would also like to say a big thank you to the whole production team at Apress. Theyve done an excellent job regarding the finalization (copy editing, indexing, composition/layout, cover design, etc.) of the whole book up to the distribution of the final print (and eBook) files.

Last but not least, I would like to thank my beloved and unique family, especially for their understanding that a book project takes a great deal of time. Maximilian and Caroline, youre just wonderful.
