For true geeks, it is an easy and entertaining read. For most software developers, it offers something new and useful." --Bjarne Stroustrup, inventor of C++ and co-editor of the C++ Core Guidelines Writing great C++ code needn't be difficult. The C++ Core Guidelines can help every C++ developer design and write C++ programs that are exceptionally reliable, efficient, and well-performing. But the Guidelines are so jam-packed with excellent advice that it's hard to know where to start. Start here, with Beautiful C++ . Expert C++ programmers Guy Davidson and Kate Gregory identify 30 Core Guidelines you'll find especially valuable and offer detailed practical knowledge for improving your C++ style. For easy reference, this book is structured to align closely with the official C++ Core Guidelines website. Throughout, Davidson and Gregory offer useful conceptual insights and expert sample code, illuminate proven ways to use both new and longstanding language features more successfully, and show how to write programs that are more robust and performant by default. Avoid "bikeshedding": stop wasting valuable time on trivia Don't hurt yourself by writing code that will cause problems later Know which legacy features to avoid and the modern features to use instead Use newer features properly, to get their benefits without creating new problems Default to higher-quality code that's statically type-safe, leak resistant, and easier to evolve Use the Core Guidelines with any modern C++ version: C++20, C++17, C++14, or C++11 There's something here to improve virtually every program you write, design, or maintain. For ease of experimentation, all sample code is available on Compiler Explorer at https://godbolt.org/z/cg30-ch0.0 .

Review: Important C++ tips for former or current C programmers - I graduated from college without ever taking a C++ course. I never had a professor take off points on a C++ project, or had a senior developer tell me, "You don't do that in C++". And yet I am a respected C++ developer because I mostly did a good job of self-teaching. This book is a headfirst dive into the C++ Core Guidelines with some performance tips that I never knew, like *why* 4 is a magic number for arguments to a function versus a reference to a struct. Review: Great book. Worth reading! - This book was a great read. It delves into the reasoning behind the C++ Core Guidelines. This book will teach you how to write cleaner, more bug-free C++ Code. It was on par with Effective Modern C++. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #519,581 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #108 in C++ Programming Language #357 in Computer Programming Languages #26,060 in Education & Teaching (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 84 Reviews | ## Images ![Beautiful C++ - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ZaApTb6LL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Important C++ tips for former or current C programmers *by S***S on August 7, 2024* I graduated from college without ever taking a C++ course. I never had a professor take off points on a C++ project, or had a senior developer tell me, "You don't do that in C++". And yet I am a respected C++ developer because I mostly did a good job of self-teaching.

Worth reading! *by V***V on August 1, 2022* This book was a great read. It delves into the reasoning behind the C++ Core Guidelines. This book will teach you how to write cleaner, more bug-free C++ Code. It was on par with Effective Modern C++. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Listening to experienced programmers *by V***T on April 12, 2023* This is not a traditional "how to write c++" book. The authors engage in many stories of their past programming career to illustrate certain points of programming style. This makes for an enjoyable read, but you have to approach this differently from most other c++ books. It's a matter of reading along, trusting that somewhere down the line a point will emerge. It usually does, but these lessons take more mental effort to absorb than a straight textbook, and you probably need to have a bit of experience in programming that empathize with the point they are making. Also, for a programming book this has remarkable many pages that are (almost) pure text. Sometimes I wished for more code samples / diagrams. ## Frequently Bought Together - Beautiful C++: 30 Core Guidelines for Writing Clean, Safe, and Fast Code - C++ Software Design: Design Principles and Patterns for High-Quality Software - C++ Concurrency in Action,2E --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/382078865-beautiful-c](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/382078865-beautiful-c) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-21*
