Two computers interact together using networks. Computers connect to the internet using a special hardware component called a network adapter or a network interface controller. The operating system installed on the computer provides drivers to work with the network adapter; that is, to support network communications the computer must have a network adapter installed with an OS that supports the networking stack. By stack, we mean the layers of modifications that the piece of data goes through when traveling from one computer to another. For example, opening a website on a browser renders data that's been gathered through the network. That data is received as a sequence of zeros and ones and then transformed into a form that's more intelligible to the web browser. Layering is essential in networking. Network communication as we know...

Overview of this book
C++ has evolved over the years and the latest release – C++20 – is now available. Since C++11, C++ has been constantly enhancing the language feature set. With the new version, you’ll explore an array of features such as concepts, modules, ranges, and coroutines. This book will be your guide to learning the intricacies of the language, techniques, C++ tools, and the new features introduced in C++20, while also helping you apply these when building modern and resilient software.
You’ll start by exploring the latest features of C++, and then move on to advanced techniques such as multithreading, concurrency, debugging, monitoring, and high-performance programming. The book will delve into object-oriented programming principles and the C++ Standard Template Library, and even show you how to create custom templates. After this, you’ll learn about different approaches such as test-driven development (TDD), behavior-driven development (BDD), and domain-driven design (DDD), before taking a look at the coding best practices and design patterns essential for building professional-grade applications. Toward the end of the book, you will gain useful insights into the recent C++ advancements in AI and machine learning.
By the end of this C++ programming book, you’ll have gained expertise in real-world application development, including the process of designing complex software.
