C++ allows you to create your own types. These custom types can have operators and can be converted to other types; indeed, they can be used like built-in types with the behavior that you define. This facility uses a language feature called classes. The advantage of being able to define your own types is that you can encapsulate data in objects of your chosen type, and use the type to manage the lifetime of that data. You can also define the actions that can be performed on that data. In other words, you are able to define custom types that have state and behavior, which is the basis of object-orientated programming.

Overview of this book
C++ is one of the most widely used programming languages. It is fast, flexible, and used to solve many programming problems.
This Learning Path gives you an in-depth and hands-on experience of working with C++, using the latest recipes and understanding most recent developments. You will explore C++ programming constructs by learning about language structures, functions, and classes, which will help you identify the execution flow through code. You will also understand the importance of the C++ standard library as well as memory allocation for writing better and faster programs.
Modern C++: Efficient and Scalable Application Development deals with the challenges faced with advanced C++ programming. You will work through advanced topics such as multithreading, networking, concurrency, lambda expressions, and many more recipes.
By the end of this Learning Path, you will have all the skills to become a master C++ programmer.
