Who this book is for

This book, with its myth-busting, semi-humorous approach, is perfect for programmers who already have a working knowledge of C++ but want to go deeper into its nuances and mysteries. It could also appeal to curious learners and computer science students who are intrigued by the language’s reputation for both power and complexity.

This audience includes those who appreciate the artistic and philosophical sides of programming – developers who don’t just want to use C++ but also understand why it works as it does, and the lore behind its most famous (and infamous) features. It’s for those who see programming not just as a skill but as a craft, one shaped by history, quirks, and even a bit of legend.
