  1. The C++ Standard Library
    The C++ Standard Library
    What every professional C++ programmer should know about the C++ standard library.
    Rainer Grimm

    With the current C++23 standard, C++ has many libraries to offer. My book's key idea is to give you concise the necessary information for all C++ standard libraries.The book is an improved version of my German book C++ Standardbibliothek published by O'Reilly. Persian version

  2. Build a SQL Database Engine in C++
    Build a SQL Database Engine in C++
    Through Challenges --- Storage and Query Processing (Parts I & II)
    Hatem M.

    Build a working SQL database engine in C++20 -- from raw pages to a realquery executor -- one compilable, measured challenge at a time. Everyperformance claim is a benchmark you run yourself; every unit ends with areal bug, caught red-handed and fixed. Nothing asserted. Everythingdemonstrated.

  3. The C++ STL Handbook
    The C++ STL Handbook
    Containers, Algorithms, Iterators, Ranges, and Beyond
    Steve Publications

    Go beyond C++ syntax and learn to use the STL with confidence. Explore containers, algorithms, iterators, ranges and more through practical examples, performance insights and real-world patterns. Build a deeper understanding of how the STL works, when to use each tool and how to write cleaner, faster and more maintainable C++.

  4. Build Your Own Redis with C/C++
    Build Your Own Redis with C/C++
    Network programming, data structures, and low-level C.
    build-your-own.org

    Build real-world software by coding a Redis server from scratch.Network programming. The next level of programming is programming for multiple machines. Think HTTP servers, RPCs, databases, distributed systems.Data structures. Redis is the best example of applying data structures to real-world problems. Why stop at theoretical, textbook-level knowledge when you can learn from production software?Low-level C. C was, is, and will be widely used for systems programming and infrastructure software. It’s a gateway to many low-level projects.From scratch. A quote from Richard Feynman: “What I cannot create, I do not understand”. You should test your learning with real-world projects!

  5. From C to Rust
    From C to Rust
    Modernizing Production Systems Without Starting Over
    Steve Publications

    Modernize your C codebase without tearing it apart. From C to Rust is a practical guide to introducing Rust where it actually makes sense, building safe boundaries and migrating piece by piece while production keeps running. No hype, no clean-slate fantasy, just real tradeoffs, runnable examples and a path you can follow.

  6. Modern ANSI C Programming
    Modern ANSI C Programming
    A Complete Guide to Correct, Portable, and Professional C Code
    Steve Publications

    Master C the way it is used in serious software. Modern ANSI C Programming takes you from the fundamentals to memory management, data structures, concurrency and production-ready practices, with practical examples that show what works, what breaks and why. Write C that is portable, secure, efficient and built to last.

  7. Mastering Frida
    Mastering Frida
    Dynamic Instrumentation, Reverse Engineering and Security Testing with frida.re
    Steve Publications

    Get inside running software and see what it’s really doing. Mastering Frida takes you from your first hook to building serious instrumentation tools for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and iOS. Learn how Frida works under the hood, where platforms differ and how to use its power without getting burned.

  8. C++ Programming in 2026
    C++ Programming in 2026
    SouthStone Publications

    C++ in 2026 looks nothing like the language you remember. This book teaches the modern dialect actually shipping in production today: RAII, smart pointers, ranges, concepts, and coroutines, backed by the tooling that keeps it safe. Twelve chapters, all runnable code, zero nostalgia for raw pointers.

  9. Advanced Windows Programming
    Advanced Windows Programming
    Modern Systems Development for Windows 11
