Is this edition still relevant? Also book thread

Only if it's cheap.

You might as well get the PDF instead and wait for a more updated version.

C++14 and C++17 are important developments, but not the paradigm shift that C++11 was.

>>60845033
C++14 added some convenient stuff for lambdas and missing move shit regarding smart pointers. Nothing too crucial. I'd probably pick up Programming -- Principles and Practice Using C++ (Second Edition) instead though. It's very basic but it teaches you the core C++11/14 features in a good way. I'd say even a seasoned C++ dev can learn a lot from reading it. Try to get one of the books at your local library though. I'm expecting Bjarne to release a C++17 update soon.

it is not worth.

PPP is about learning programming, not about learning a programming language. If you already know how to program, it'd likely be a waste of time. That's especially true if you're looking for something to use as a reference.

is this still worth getting?

>>60845733
Yes

>>60845733
yes, I just finished it in January.

The first 100 pages can be skipped if you are a veteran programmer. If you are new to C++ it teaches the wonders of iterators and standard lib fine. I found it helpful in understanding the beauty of C++ coming from C#. I now enjoy C++ way more than C#. Otherwise get Effective Modern C++ by Scott Meyers if you know C++.

That sounds nice. I'm reading A Tour of C++ to get an idea of what I'm actually looking at, so something more in-depth might help.

>>60845033
Do you know how to program already in another language? Read A Tour of C++
Complete novice? Read PPP.
After either of those, just start using the language and have http://en.cppreference.com nearby.
If you plan on going full autism, then read Effective Modern C++ by Meyers and watch Stutter's videos,

Literally a windows shilling book. SAD!

>>60845033
I own this edition, and I can honestly say without a doubt that it is the worst programming book I have ever read. It's chalked full of windows centric examples with zero regard for any other platform. All the examples consist of a boring problem followed by lengthy redundant writing about Stroustrup's never ending fetish for manual optimizations; then ending on some additional wankery about c++ being the greatest language to grace the earth.

>Effective Modern C++
Does this replace or complement Effective C++? I.e. should I get both, or just Modern?

Get this one.

Personally I feel C++ has changed too much for the old edition to be worth much.
