About the Book
My book C++20 is both: a tutorial and a reference for the C++20 standard. It teaches you C++20 and provides you with the details of this new thrilling C++ standard. The thrilling factor is mainly due to the big four of C++20.
- Concepts change the way we think and program templates. They are semantic categories for the template parameters and enable you to express your intention directly in the type system. If something goes wrong, you get a clear error message.
- The new ranges library enables it to perform algorithms directly on the container, compose the algorithm with the pipe symbol, and apply them to infinite data streams.
- Thanks to coroutines, asynchronous programming in C++ becomes mainstream. Coroutines are the base for cooperative tasks, event loops, infinite data streams, or pipelines.
- Modules overcome the restrictions of header files. They promise a lot. For example, the separation of header and source files becomes as obsolete as the preprocessor. In the end, we have faster built time and an easier way to build packages.

'C++ 20: Get the details' is exactly the book you need right now if you want to immerse yourself in the latest version of C++. It's a complete guide, Rainer doesn't only discuss the flagship features of C++20, but also every minor addition to the language. Luckily, the book includes tons of example code, so even if you don't have direct access yet to the latest compilers, you will have a very good idea of what you can expect from the different features. A highly recommended read!
Adrian Tam
Director of Data Science, Synechron Inc.
C++ has evolved a lot from its birth. With C++20, it is like a new language now. Surely this book is not a primer to teach you inheritance or overloading, but if you need to bring your C++ knowledge up to date, this is the right book. You will be surprised about the new features C++20 brought into C++. This book gives you clear explanations with concise examples. Its organization allows you to use it as a reference later. It can help you unleash the old language into its powerful future.

A great work by Rainer and a fantastic book on C++20. With Lots of easy-to-understand, grasp code examples. I have never thought that I will have such a wonderful book covering everything about C++20 with great details and easy language. I am sure this book will change the perception about C++ at all levels of C++ programmers. A must-have book on C++20 on your desk.
