C++ programming language
These books deal with the C++ programming language: a general-purpose programming language. It is regarded as a middle-level language, as it comprises a combination of both high-level and low-level language features. You may also be interested on the material regarding this subject at Wikiversity. C++ originally began as an extension of the C programming language.

C++ Programming: this book covers the history and characteristics of the programming language as it may be taught in an introductory to advanced course or as a reference book, including information on what is a programming language or how to install a compiler to the most used external libraries, GUI frameworks, design patterns, RAII, Multi-Threading and other information needed for real world programming in C++.

Geared towards: anyone interested in the C++ programming language.


C++ Language: the emphasis of this book is its hierarchical organization of topics about the C++ programming language. This book attempts to be comprehensive in its coverage of all topics about the language (both basic and advanced), discussing traditional techniques alongside modern ones. Although covering all topics, this book tries to avoid overwhelming the reader: Instead of presenting readers with a lengthy "wall of text", a "quick read" (surface-level description) is given for each topic. The goal is for that introduction to clearly educate readers about that topic, so that readers can know whether or not they need to dig deeper into that concept. For many beginning readers, that amount of text will suffice. In case readers discover that they do want to learn more, every topic is supplemented with a pointer to where they can go for further knowledge that is specifically targeted to that particular detail about C++.

Geared towards: either beginning C++ programmers (who wish for a quick introduction to aspects of the language), or advanced engineers (who wish for a resource where they can quickly lookup a topic and get a pointer to further detail).


More C++ Idioms: the objective of this open book is to help elevate the knowledge of programmers who have moderate level of familiarity with C++ to a level where they feel much friendlier with C++. It provides an exhaustive catalog of modern reusable C++ idioms based on what expert programmers often use while programming/designing using C++. It is an effort to capture their vocabulary and concepts into a single work.

Geared towards: anyone with an intermediate level of knowledge in C++ and programming language paradigms.


Optimizing C++: platform-independent guidelines to develop efficient software using C++.

Geared towards: C++ programmers who need to improve the performance of the software they develop.


Understanding C++: book covering only the core C++ language and its standard library and focuses on writing clean portable code. This book assumes you already have a C++ compiler installed and have read how to compile programs with it.

Geared towards: anyone with a moderate knowledge of how to use a computer and an interest in understanding the C++ standard.


C++ Programming As A Set Of Problems: a book covering the C++ language from the practical side. This book assumes you already have a C++ compiler installed and have read how to compile programs with it.

Geared towards: anyone with a moderate knowledge of how to use a computer and an interest in programming with C++.
