Are you an experienced C++ programmer, but you have not used the language for several years? You may have heard that there have been many changes to C++ over the last decade or so, but you have not had time to keep up with them. Besides, your C++ skills may have gone a little rusty due to lack of use, and perhaps there were one or two things you never quite grasped the first time round. I was in the same situation a few years ago. I managed to teach myself from various books, websites and videos, but it would have been so much easier if there had been one single place where I could have gone to update my C++ knowledge. To help out other people in a similar situation, I created an online course on Udemy, Update to Modern C++, in which I set out to provide everything I wish I had known at that time. This course proved very successful, and I have now decided to publish it as a book. This book is intended for programmers who have at least an Intermediate knowledge of C++ and have a good working knowledge of features like STL and virtual functions. For the chapters on threads, you will need to have some basic knowledge of multithreading concepts (in any language.)
