I asked Marius to write a few words about his book. Here are they:

Are you looking for a book to help you learn about the new C++20 standard? The Modern C++ Programming Cookbook 2nd Edition, written by Marius Bancila, is a book that can help you do that. This second edition is an updated version that covers all of the most important features of C++20.

The book is organized in recipes that cover one topic or programming task that C++ developers often encounter. Each recipe explains how to do something and provides details for how that works. The book features more than 130 recipes covering C++11/14/17/20. It provides guidance for using a large variety of language and library features, good practices for writing C++ code, explore patterns, and several of the most widely used testing frameworks. Although the book is intended for developers regardless of their experience with C++, it is not an introductory book to C++; therefore, this book does not teach you the basics of the C++ programming language.

In this book, Marius is covering the following C++20 topics:

modules
concepts
coroutines
ranges
text formatting library (std::format)
chrono calendars and time zones
std::span
bit manipulation utilities
std::jthread and std::stop_source
latches, barriers, and semaphores
atomic operations
immediate functions (consteval)
three-way comparison (spaceship operator <=>)
using enums
template lambdas and changes to lambda captures

You can read the entire first chapter for free and check the rest of the table of contents here https://www.packtpub.com/product/modern-c-programming-cookbook-second-edition/9781800208988.

How can I win a copy of the book?

The publisher of the book, Packtpub, is offering five free e-copies of the book. What you have to do is answering the following question:

"What is your favorite C++20 feature and why?"
