Preface

This book aims to provide ready-to-use solutions (to developers) for the essential aspects of system programming, using the latest C++ standards wherever possible. System programming deals with structuring computer programs that closely interact with the operating system and allow computer hardware to interface with the programmer and the user. Due to its efficient features, namely, low-level computation, data abstraction, and object-oriented features, C++ is the preferred language for system programming. You will learn how to create robust and concurrent systems, and you will also understand the inter-process communication mechanism with shared memory and pipe. Moving forward, you will deep dive into the C++ built-in libraries and frameworks in order to design robust systems as per your requirements.
