The challenge is learning to use those features effectively ―so that your software is correct, efficient, maintainable, and portable. That’s where this practical book comes in. It describes how to write truly great software using C++11 and C++14―i.e. using modern C++. Topics include: The pros and cons of braced initialization, noexcept specifications, perfect forwarding, and smart pointer make functions The relationships among std::move , std::forward , rvalue references, and universal references Techniques for writing clear, correct, effective lambda expressions How std::atomic differs from volatile , how each should be used, and how they relate to C++'s concurrency API How best practices in "old" C++ programming (i.e., C++98) require revision for software development in modern C++ Effective Modern C++ follows the proven guideline-based, example-driven format of Scott Meyers' earlier books, but covers entirely new material. "After I learned the C++ basics, I then learned how to use C++ in production code from Meyer's series of Effective C++ books. Effective Modern C++ is the most important how-to book for advice on key guidelines, styles, and idioms to use modern C++ effectively and well. Don't own it yet? Buy this one. Now". -- Herb Sutter, Chair of ISO C++ Standards Committee and C++ Software Architect at Microsoft Review: Most Impressive: Showeth C++ Degenerating From Systems Language To Java-Like Applications Product: And, How To Cope With This - In the terms of Fred Brooks, The Mythical Man Month, or, perhaps, Thomas S. Kuhn, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, this impressive and exceptional work by Scott Meyers shows how a systems language designed to allow even device driver development is degenerating by committee-submission-creep towards a Java like applications language ... Effective Modern C++ does give excellent advice on how to cope. Together with Scott Meyers' other three well known works, the programmer working on a low level programming effort systems or device driver or games performance would be able to navigate the shallows and avoid the rocks and riptides ... But, woe betide the high level applications programmer who, frankly, is using the wrong tool for the job ... Take the C++ 14 general cleanup of types. This was probably needed anyway. But, together with a comprehensive new typeset to make smart pointers usable, and a concurrency API, this low level approach to these matters may make thread safety possible in non kernel operating system executive mode executables built therefrom. However, the question I wish to raise is whether threads really need any more than absolutely minimal use outside application level code ... Scott's treatment of types and pointers with a view to thread safety is comprehensive and well written ... This essential advice will save many an in-betweenst project halfway really not a systems project but really not an applications one either ... One reason I bought this book was to find out the detail of what lambdas were. Oh God! Remembering Clipper 5.01 from 1993, whose Clipper code-blocks were this half-way house between DEC's PDP-11 TECO macros, which had the awful possibility of self modification, and proper compiled to p-code small functions a la many Pascals, I suspect these lambdas share the problem that Clipper code-blocks had: one could embed a value inside the code-block a single internal state value that the code-block carried around. This idea undermined the whole conception of good code. Expressibility. Efficient. Maintainable. Obvious. Comprehensible. Top-Down. If one wants to send impenetrablely obscure messages from deep inside one module to deep inside another, not using the call chain, nor the data heap, use explicit operating system semaphores, not such side effects!! Therefore use lambdas with caution, and preferably not at all. Nevertheless another classic work by the author, noted for his writings on C++!! Review: Careful Diagnosis of C++11 and C++14 - Honesty about C++ and the things that can really help you and those things you should manage carefully is what I like most about this book. The author did an exception job helping the reader navigate through C++ to understand the essence of those things that can benefit or most imperil them when using the language. You do need to have a general understanding of C++ before reading the book. Particularly, recent publications from Bjarne Stroustrup would be very helpful. Some knowledge of the STL could be helpful but not entirely necessary. You do not need to be fully versed in OOP or other programming paradigms. The book is paradigm agnostic. It focuses strictly on C++ programming language capabilities and a few standards approved capabilities represented through C++. Sometimes a good approach to knowledge involves the long way. It seems best to avoid certain shortcuts since good insights may be absent or unavailable when needed. However, there are shorter paths to understanding that are indeed productive. This book is one of those. Rather than spend months or years contending with many of missteps possible without the knowledge presented here, the author makes your use of C++ far more productive and reliable. Optimal ways to use capabilities in C++ are discussed and demonstrated. You can also read the book and get the impression that some parts of C++11 and C++14 are screwed up. That would be an incorrect view. I am referring to the parts of the book that show that some features of C++ are not what they seem on the surface. A great example are lambdas and their relationship to memory leaks if used improperly. What I see is that certain features or not designed wrong but they are not designed to be used all the time. C++ is like the computer language equivalent of Lego blocks. Not all pieces are designed to be used everywhere and in every case. It also means that when you use C++, you don't really straight code in it like you might in a managed language, but you use it thoughtfully every step of the way. This book shows you some of those considerations that can reduce technical design problems and improve software programs. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #65,516 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6 in C++ Programming Language #10 in Object-Oriented Design #43 in Software Development (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,176 Reviews | ## Images ![Effective Modern C++: 42 Specific Ways to Improve Your Use of C++11 and C++14 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91i+g38v9eL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most Impressive: Showeth C++ Degenerating From Systems Language To Java-Like Applications Product: And, How To Cope With This *by A***R on January 26, 2015* In the terms of Fred Brooks, The Mythical Man Month, or, perhaps, Thomas S.

After reading half of it, I can say with full heart, that this book is an adequate book for "jumping" from old C++ to modern C++. the writer (Scott Meyers) presents these differences, and he does it successfully. The writer presents deep knowledge in C++ and the various motivations for different encoding. Though it is a successful book, I can't say everything is understood to me, yet C++ is not an easy language and many iterations are needed. I recommend this book with full heart. Just for reference, I graded Stroupstrup "The C++ programming language" a two stars, which to me seems a terrible book! ## Frequently Bought Together - Effective Modern C++: 42 Specific Ways to Improve Your Use of C++11 and C++14 - Effective C++: 55 Specific Ways to Improve Your Programs and Designs - Tour of C++, A (C++ In-Depth Series) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/9329564-effective-modern-c-42-specific-ways-to-improve-your-use](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/9329564-effective-modern-c-42-specific-ways-to-improve-your-use) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
