The C++ Standard Library

What every professional C++ programmer should know about the C++ standard library.

Rainer Grimm

With the current C++23 standard, C++ has many libraries to offer. My book's key idea is to give you concise the necessary information for all C++ standard libraries.

The book is an improved version of my German book C++ Standardbibliothek published by O'Reilly.

About the Book

"The C++ Standard Library" provides a detailed overview of the C++ Standard Library, including C++23.

The Goal

The C++ Standard Library aims to provide a concise reference of the C++ standard library in about 350 pages. This book assumes that you are familiar with C++. If so, you will get the most benefit from this book. If C++ is new to you, you should start with a textbook about core C++. Once you have mastered a textbook about the core language, you can make your next big step by reading my book.

This book also has more than 150 running code examples for the code snippets I present. Therefore, you can combine theory with practice and get the most out of it.

Many Thanks

In particular, I thank the English proofreaders of my book: Mahesh Attarde, Rick Audet, Pete Barrow, Michael Ben-David, Dave Burns, Alvaro Fernandez, Juliette Grimm, Marius Grimm, George Haake, Nicola Jaud-Stoll, Clare Macrae, Arne Mertz, Ian Reeve, Jason Turner, Bart Vandewoestyne, Ivan Vergiliev, and Andrzej Warzynski. They translated my Swabian English into English. Without their work, the book wouldn't have been possible.

      About the Author

      Rainer Grimm

      I've worked as a software architect, team lead, and instructor since 1999. In 2002, I created a further education round at my company. I have given training courses since 2002. My first tutorials were about proprietary management software, but soon after, I began teaching Python and C++. In my spare time, I like to write articles about C++, Python, and Haskell. I also like to speak at conferences. I publish weekly on my English blog https://www.modernescpp.com.

      Since 2016, I have been an independent instructor giving seminars about modern C++ and Python. I have published several books in various languages about modern C++ and in particular, concurrency. Due to my profession, I always search for the best way to teach modern C++.

      My books "C++ 11 für Programmierer ", "C++" and "C++ Standardbibliothek kurz & gut" for the "kurz & gut" series were published by Pearson and O'Reilly. They are available in German, English, Korean, and Persian. In summer 2018 I published a new book on Leanpub: "Concurrency with Modern C++". This book is also available in German: "Modernes C++: Concurrency meistern".
