This book is an introductory programming text that uses humor and fun to make you actually willing to read, and eager to do the projects, with the popular C++ language. Along the way, it includes many of the new C++20 standard features such as ranges, spans, format strings, the "spaceship" operator, concepts (template parameter requirements), and brief introductions to modules and coroutines. C++20 for lazy programmers (second edition) is a genuinely fun learning experience that will show you how to create programs in C++. This book helps you learn with a unique method that goes beyond syntax and how to manuals and helps you understand how to be a productive programmer. It provides detailed help with both the Visual Studio and g++ compilers plus their debuggers, and includes the latest version of the language, too. You'll work through a number of projects intended to stretch your abilities, test your new skills, and build confidence. You'll go beyond the basics of the language and learn how build a fun C++ arcade game project. After reading and using this book, you'll ready for your first real-world C++ application or game project on your own.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Ready to learn programming with less effort and more fun?
