We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "C++20 for Lazy Programmers: Quick, Easy, and Fun C++ for Beginners, 2nd Edition" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Ready to learn programming with less effort and more fun? Then do it the lazy way! C++20 for Lazy Programmers uses humor and fun to make you actually willing to read and eager to do the projects as you master the popular and powerful C++ language. Along the way it includes many features from the new C++20 standard, such as ranges, spans, format strings, the spaceship operator, and concepts (template parameter requirements), and provides brief introductions to modules and coroutines.
With this unique method, youll stretch your abilities with a variety of projects, including your own C++ arcade game. Youll construct your own classes, templates, and abstract data types. After reading and using this book youll be ready to build real-world C++ applications and game projects on your own.
What You Will Learn:- The brand-new C++20 standard
- Programming graphics and games with the SDL library, using SSDL, the Simple SDL wrapper library
- How to use the most common C++ compilers -- Visual Studio for Windows, and g++ (with Unix or MinGW) -- and their associated debuggers
- Anti-bugging for easy fixes to common problems
- Sound practices for becoming a productive programmer
- How to make your own big projects, including a C++-based arcade game
- The built-in Standard Template Library (STL) functions and classes for easy and efficient programming
- Powerful data types including strings, stacks, vectors, and linked lists -- not by reading about them but by building them -- preparing you further for a career in programming
All who are new to C++, either self-learners or students in college-level courses.

To the learners and readers. They tell me whats wrong, and whats right.
Surely theres no shortage of C++ intro texts. Why write yet another?
Im glad you asked.
Ever since moving from Pascal to C++ (back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth), Ive been underwhelmed by available resources. I wanted something quirky and fun to read, with sufficient coverage and fun examples, like the old Oh! Pascal! text by Cooper and Clancy. Even a perfectly accurate text with broad coverage gives you nothing if you fall asleep when you read it. Well, nothing but a sore neck.
But the other reason, of course, is to promote laziness.
We all want our projects to be done more quickly, with less wailing and gnashing of teeth. Sometimes, its said, you have to put your nose to the grindstone. Maybe, but I like my nose too well for that. Id rather do things the easy way.
But the easy way isnt procrastinating and dragging my feet; its to find something I love doing and do it well enough that it feels relatively effortless. Its producing something robust enough that when it does break down, it tells me exactly what the problem is, so I dont have to spend a week pleading with it to explain itself. Its writing code that I can use again and again, adapting it to a new use in hours instead of days.
A pleasant reading experience.
Adequate coverage.
Games, that is, use of the SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) graphics library, which makes it easy to get graphics programs working quickly. It isnt fair that Python and Visual Basic should get all the eye candy. The SDL library is used through Chapter 12. After that, well mostly use standard I/O, so we can get practice with the more common console programs.
An easy introduction to SDLs graphical magic, using the SSDL (simple SDL) library (see below).
Sufficient examplesand they wont all be about actuarial tables or how to organize an address book. (See A pleasant reading experience above.)
Antibugging sections throughout the text to point out common or difficult-to-trace errors and how to prevent them.
For g++ programmers, instructions on using g++, the ddd/gdb debugger system, and Makefiles; for Visual Studio, use of the debugger and project files.
Compliance with C++20, the latest standard, and the goodies it provides.
Hands-on experience with advanced data types like strings, stacks, vectors, and lists not by reading about them, but by building them yourself.
An appreciation of laziness.
A cool title. Maybe I could have tried to write a For Dummies book, but after seeing Bioinformatics for Dummies, Im not sure I have what it takes.
A game of Freeciv, which uses the SDL library
but although SDL is relatively easy, its not simple enough to start on day 1 of programming with C++. SSDL simple SDL saves you from needing to know things we dont get to until Chapter 14 before doing basic things like displaying images (Chapter 2) or even printing a greeting (Chapter 1). It also hides the initialization and cleanup code thats pretty much the same every time you write a program and makes error handling less cumbersome.
You may want to keep using SSDL as is after youre done with this book, but if you decide to go on with SDL, youll find you know a lot of it already, with almost nothing to unlearn: most SSDL function names are names from SDL with another S stuck on the front. Well go into greater depth on moving forward with SDL in Chapter 29.
At the time of writing, Microsoft Visual Studio (Community Edition) for Windows is absolutely free, and g++ always is. So are the SSDL and SDL2 libraries; Microsoft Core fonts for the Web , which youll need on Unix systems; and the GIMP deluxe graphics editing package. See Chapter 1 and Appendix A for help installing these essentials.
Programming with sound may not be practical over remote connections because of the difficulty of streaming sound. If using Unix emulation, you might check the emulators sound capabilities say, by playing a video.
C++20 for Lazy Programmers covers through pointers, operator overloading, virtual functions, templates, exceptions, STL (Standard Template Library), and everything you might reasonably expect in two semesters of C++ plus extras at the end.
