This book is quite suitable for junior and intermediate programmers with some experience in C++. It discusses 101 rules, each explained in a fixed format (including clause title, summary, discussion, examples, etc.). This arrangement is both clear and aligns with our understanding and acceptance of a progressive process.

In “C++ Programming Standards: 101 Rules, Guidelines, and Best Practices,” two well-known C++ experts condense 20 years of collective wisdom and experience from the global C++ community into a set of programming standards. These standards can serve as a foundation for every development team to establish practical development norms and are principles that every C++ programmer should adhere to. Each standard is precisely described and illustrated with examples; from type definitions to error handling, the best C++ practices are provided. Even programmers who have used C++ for many years will benefit immensely from “C++ Programming Standards: 101 Rules, Guidelines, and Best Practices.” This book is suitable for C++ programmers at all levels and can also serve as a teaching reference for C++ courses in higher education institutions.

In the field of C++, there are few books on multithreading. After all, multithreading is something outside the language for C++. In Linux, it is provided by pthread, and in Windows, it is provided by Win32API or .NET framework. After the C++11 standard incorporated threads, threads became part of the language, which is what this book addresses.

The content is quite rich, covering not only the standard but also some basic multithreading programming experiences, such as how excessive locks can lead to cache thrashing, how to design a thread-safe version of a class, and even a chapter dedicated to lock-free design. Everything that should be said is covered. In terms of standards, the basic concepts are explained clearly (including some new syntax like rvalue references), but the memory model is not thoroughly explained; it only briefly discusses basic usage. However, this area has not yet been fully supported by GCC, which may contribute to this reason.

“Practical C++ Concurrency” is an in-depth guide to concurrency and multithreading programming based on the new C++11 standard. It covers the use of basic classes such as std::thread, std::mutex, std::future, and std::async, as well as memory models, atomic operations, construction of lock-based and lock-free data structures, and extends to parallel algorithms and thread management. Finally, it also introduces the testing of multithreaded code. The appendix briefly introduces projects related to multithreading in the new C++11 language features and provides a complete reference for the C++11 thread library. “Practical C++ Concurrency” is suitable for readers who need to deeply understand C++ multithreading development, as well as for developers and testers using C++ for various software development. Readers using third-party thread libraries can also find relevant guidance and techniques in the later chapters of this book. Additionally, this book can serve as a reference tool for the C++11 thread library.
