Praise for Effective Modern C++
So, still interested in C++? You should be! Modern C++ (i.e., C++11/C++14) is far more than just a facelift. Considering the new features, it seems that it's more a reinvention. Looking for guidelines and assistance? Then this book is surely what you are looking for. Concerning C++, Scott Meyers was and still is a synonym for accuracy, quality, and delight.

Finding utmost expertise is hard enough. Finding teaching perfectionism— an author's obsession with strategizing and streamlining explanations—is also difficult. You know you're in for a treat when you get to find both embodied in the same person. Effective Modern C++ is a towering achievement from a consummate technical writer. It layers lucid, meaningful, and well-sequenced clarifications on top of complex and interconnected topics, all in crisp literary style. You're equally unlikely to find a technical mistake, a dull moment, or a lazy sentence in Effective Modern C++.

As someone with over two decades of C++ experience, to get the most out of modern C++ (both best practices and pitfalls to avoid), I highly recommend getting this book, reading it thoroughly, and referring to it often!
I've certainly learned new things going through it!

Bjarne Stroustrup — the creator of C++ — said, “C++11 feels like a new language.” Effective Modern C++ makes us share this same feeling by clearly explaining how everyday programmers can benefit from new features and idioms of C++11 and C++14. Another great Scott Meyers book.

Scott has the knack of boiling technical complexity down to an understandable kernel. His Effective C++ books helped to raise the coding style of a previous generation of C++ programmers; the new book seems positioned to do the same for those using modern C++.

Effective Modern C++ is a great tool to improve your modern C++ skills. Not only does it teach you how, when and where to use modern C++ and be effective, it also explains why. Without doubt, Scott's clear and insightful writing, spread over 42 well-thought items, gives programmers a much better understanding of the language.

I love C++, it has been my work vehicle for many decades now. And with the latest raft of features it is even more powerful and expressive than I would have previously imagined. But with all this choice comes the question “when and how do I apply these features?” As has always been the case, Scott's Effective C++ books are the definitive answer to this question.

Great read for transitioning to modern C++ — new C++11/14 language features are described alongside C++98, subject items are easy to reference, and advice summarized at the end of each section. Entertaining and useful for both casual and advanced C++ developers.

If you're migrating from C++98/03 to C++11/14, you need the eminently practical and clear information Scott provides in Effective Modern C++. If you're already writing C++11 code, you'll probably discover issues with the new features through Scott's thorough discussion of the important new features of the language. Either way, this book is worth your time.

I started investigating what was then known as C++0x (the nascent C++11) in 2009. I posted numerous questions to the Usenet newsgroup comp.std.c++, and I'm grateful to the members of that community (especially Daniel Krugler) for their very helpful postings. In more recent years, I've turned to Stack Overflowwhen I had questions about C++11 and C++14, and I'm equally indebted to that community for its help in understanding the finer points of modern C++.
