Preface
C++ has indeed become too "expert friendly" --- Bjarne Stroustrup, The Problem with Programming
[1]
,
Technology Review, Nov 2006.
Stroustrup's saying is true because experts are intimately familiar with the idioms in the language. With the increase in
the idioms a programmer understands, the language becomes friendlier to him or her. The objective of this open
content book is to present modern C++ idioms to programmers who have moderate level of familiarity with C++, and
help elevate their knowledge so that C++ feels much friendlier to them. It is designed to be an exhaustive catalog of
reusable idioms that expert C++ programmers often use while programming or designing using C++. This is an effort
to capture their techniques and vocabulary into a single work. This book describes the idioms in a regular format:
Name-Intent-Motivation-Solution-References, which is succinct and helps speed learning. By their nature, idioms tend
to have appeared in the C++ community and in published work many times. An effort has been made to refer to the
original source(s) where possible; if you find a reference incomplete or incorrect, please feel free to suggest or make
improvements.
The world is invited to catalog reusable pieces of C++ knowledge (similar to the book on design patterns by GoF).
The goal here is to first build an exhaustive catalog of modern C++ idioms and later evolve it into an idiom language,
just like a pattern language. Finally, the contents of this book can be redistributed under the terms of the GNU Free
Documentation License.
Aimed toward: Anyone with an intermediate level of knowledge in C++ and supported language paradigms
