I like this book very much. Because it gives you the necessary stuff you should know about the current C++ standard library in about 250 pages.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a picture of the German issue.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-4838\" src=\"https:\/\/www.modernescpp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/KurzUndGutStandardbibliothek.jpg\" alt=\"KurzUndGutStandardbibliothek\" style=\"margin: 15px;\" width=\"211\" height=\"346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.modernescpp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/KurzUndGutStandardbibliothek.jpg 211w, https:\/\/www.modernescpp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/KurzUndGutStandardbibliothek-183x300.jpg 183w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 211px) 100vw, 211px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And here two critiques on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.de\/C-Standardbibliothek-kurz-Rainer-Grimm\/dp\/3955619680\/ref=zg_bs_166027031_11\">amazon. <\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Here_are_the_facts\"><\/span>Here are the facts?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_relation_to_my_German_book\"><\/span>What is the relation to my German book?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>I will use the German book as a starting point.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Based on your critique and my improvements, it may change a little be more or less during the writing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_will_publish_it\"><\/span>Who will publish it?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>I wrote three books the traditional way, so I will this time give self-publishing a try: <a href=\"https:\/\/leanpub.com\/\u00c2\">https:\/\/leanpub.com\/&nbsp;<\/a><\/li>\n<li>In addition, it&#8217;s very difficult for a German writer to publish a book in English.
