The C++ Workshop by Kurt Guntheroth, Shaun Ross Mitchell, Dale Green

You already know you want to learn C++ development, and a smarter way to learn C++ 11 is to learn by doing. The C++ Workshop focuses on building up your practical skills so that you can develop high-performance software applications or even your own independent games with effective modern C++. You’ll learn from real examples that lead to real results.

Throughout The C++ Workshop, you’ll take an engaging step-by-step approach to understanding C++ code. You won’t have to sit through any unnecessary theory. If you’re short on time you can jump into a single exercise each day or spend an entire weekend learning about advanced object-oriented principles. It’s your choice. Learning on your terms, you’ll build up and reinforce key skills in a way that feels rewarding.

Every physical print copy of The C++ Workshop unlocks access to the interactive edition. With videos detailing all exercises and activities, you’ll always have a guided solution. You can also benchmark yourself against assessments, track progress, and receive content updates. You’ll even earn a secure credential that you can share and verify online upon completion. It’s a premium learning experience that’s included with your printed copy. To redeem, follow the instructions located at the start of your C++ book.

Fast-paced and direct, The C++ Workshop is the ideal companion for C++ beginners. You’ll build and iterate on your code like a software developer, learning along the way. This process means that you’ll find that your new skills stick, embedded as best practice. A solid foundation for the years ahead.
