Last week was an important milestone for my book: it got a print version available at Amazon! In this post, I’ll share some details behind the event and the plans.
The Print (on Demand) Since March 2019, I’ve been testing a few platforms that offer print on demand. One book came from Lulu.
Last Friday my book got a fresh update! It’s been three months since the previous release, and this time I brought foreword, new book format and some small content changes.
Changes Here are the main changes:
Foreword First of all the book has now a foreword, and it’s written by Herb Sutter!
I released “C++17 In Detail” in August 2018, and I set the status to 90%. I didn’t expect that writing of that remaining 10% would take me so long :) Now it’s high time to set the counter to 100%.
That’s why I’m pleased to announce that my book “C++17 In Detail” is now done!
On Friday 18th January I’ve pushed another update for the book. This time I rewrote the whole chapter about std::filesystem. Please have a look at what changed and what are the plans.
The book got more than 25 new pages!
std::filesystem - Chapter Rewrite The book had a filesystem chapter from the start, but it was concise and didn’t contain much information.
Learning new language and library features in isolation might not be the best choice. That’s why in my book I also added bigger examples where many C++ elements coexist together.
This time I’d like to describe another book update where I create and walk through a CSV reader application. The application uses a lot of language and library components.
Yesterday I finally updated the book! The main point of this refresh was to provide an updated and rewritten version of the “Parallel Algorithms” chapter. “C++17 In Detail” grew by 20 pages (up to 270).
See what’s inside.
The Changes The release notes are straightforward this time :)
Parallel Algorithms chapter updated Some smaller fixes (for example I updated the link to code samples: Source Code (ZIP) Here’s the link to the book:
I’m happy to announce that last Friday I updated the book! “C++17 In Detail” grew by 31 pages (up to 250), includes two new chapters and lots of “bug” fixes and better explanations.

The Changes Here’s the short version of the release notes:
– New chapter - String Conversions
As usually, C++ needs good books and up-to-date learning resources. In this review, I’d like to present a book that should significantly enhance your knowledge of Modern C++, including C++17.
Let’s see what’s inside.
Disclaimer: I asked the author and got a print copy for the review.
The book
I’m happy to announce that just a few days ago I updated the book! “C++17 In Detail” grew by 7 pages (up to 219), includes a few new examples, new feature descriptions and lots of “bug fixes”.
See what’s inside.
The Changes Here’s the short version of the release notes:
I’m happy to present my first ebook on C++!
Here’s the short story and the description of what you can find inside.
The Story At the beginning of 2017, I decided to make a super long, collaborative, post about all the new things that are coming with C++17. At that time we had quite “stable” drafts, so most of the new features were already known.
A few months ago I received a quite massive mail package with something that was looking like a brand new C++ book :)
My initial plan was to review it quickly, maybe in one month. But I failed, as learning C++ templates is not that easy :) I needed much more time.
Let’s have a quick overview of another book related to Modern C++ and The Standard Library. This time I picked Rainer Grimm’s book the author of the modernescpp blog.
Read more if you’d like to win C++ book bundle! :)
