* C++11 and C++14 have the basic building blocks for creating concurrent or parallel programs. * With C++17, we got the parallel algorithms of the Standard Template Library (STL). That means, most of the algorithms of the STL can be executed sequential, parallel, or vectorized. * The concurrency story in C++ goes on. With C++20, we got coroutines, atomic smart pointers, semaphores, and latches and barriers. * With C++23, we can hope for executors, extended futures, transactional memory, and more. This book explains the details of concurrency in modern C++ and gives you, also, nearly 200 running code examples. Therefore, you can combine the theory with the practices and get the most of it. Because this book is about concurrency, I present many pitfalls and show you how to overcome them. The book is 100 % finished, but I will update it from time to time. The next update is probably about C++23. Furthermore, I will start the chapter on lock-free data structures.
