Finding utmost expertise is hard enough. Finding teaching perfectionism an authors obsession with strategizing and streamlining explanationsis also difficult. You know youre in for a treat when you get to find both embodied in the same person. Effective Modern C++ is a towering achievement from a consummate technical writer. It layers lucid, meaningful, and well-sequenced clarifications on top of complex and interconnected topics, all in crisp literary style. Youre equally unlikely to find a technical mistake, a dull moment, or a lazy sentence in Effective Modern C++.

As someone with over two decades of C++ experience, to get the most out of modern C++ (both best practices and pitfalls to avoid), I highly recommend getting this book, reading it thoroughly, and referring to it often! Ive certainly learned new things going through it!

Bjarne Stroustrupthe creator of C++said, C++11 feels like a new language. Effective Modern C++ makes us share this same feeling by clearly explaining how everyday programmers can benefit from new features and idioms of C++11 and C++14. Another great Scott Meyers book.

Scott has the knack of boiling technical complexity down to an understandable kernel. His Effective C++ books helped to raise the coding style of a previous generation of C++ programmers; the new book seems positioned to do the same for those using modern C++.

Effective Modern C++ is a great tool to improve your modern C++ skills. Not only does it teach you how, when and where to use modern C++ and be effective, it also explains why. Without doubt, Scotts clear and insightful writing, spread over 42 well-thought items, gives programmers a much better understanding of the language.

I love C++, it has been my work vehicle for many decades now. And with the latest raft of features it is even more powerful and expressive than I would have previously imagined. But with all this choice comes the question when and how do I apply these features? As has always been the case, Scotts Effective C++ books are the definitive answer to this question.

Great read for transitioning to modern C++new C++11/14 language features are described alongside C++98, subject items are easy to reference, and advice summarized at the end of each section. Entertaining and useful for both casual and advanced C++ developers.

If youre migrating from C++98/03 to C++11/14, you need the eminently practical and clear information Scott provides in Effective Modern C++. If youre already writing C++11 code, youll probably discover issues with the new features through Scotts thorough discussion of the important new features of the language. Either way, this book is worth your time.
