I will update the book at least two times and assume that I&#8217;m done with the book in about a year. I decided to publish it half-done because it provides valuable information even in this early stage.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Early_Stage\"><\/span>Early Stage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The early published version of the book is the base for your proofreading. I intentionally want your feedback while it&#8217;s only 50 % done. I think this is the most valuable time for your feedback.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Further_updates\"><\/span>Further updates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You can expect the following improvements with future updates.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>More code examples when missing C++20 features are available. Additionally, I reimplement existing examples using the C++20 standard and not prototype libraries such as <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/fmtlib\/fmt\">fmt<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/HowardHinnant\/date\">date<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>More details on the C++20 features.<\/li>\n<li>A preview of the new C++23 standard.<\/li>\n<li>Tutorials to the big four at least: concepts, ranges, modules, and coroutines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here are the missing facts about proofreading my book.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_Details\"><\/span>More Details<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here is more information to ease your decision.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"State_of_the_book\"><\/span>State of the book<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I finished the first draft of the books. The book has about 350 pages. This first draft is cooked well enough for proofreading. I will replace the images which are at the beginning of each chapter with illustrations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h1-2-who-will-publish-it\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_publishes_the_book\"><\/span>Who publishes the book?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The book is only available on LeanPub.

You don&#8217;t have to read the chapters in sequence. I send you the book as pdf. If you are done with a chapter, send me the pdf with your comments inside the pdf. I try to update the book weekly; therefore, your comments are based on the newest version.&nbsp;This process worked quite well with my last books and is most comfortable for you and me.<\/li>\n<li>I create a Slack group for our discussions.<\/li>\n<li>Look for all kinds of errors in the book. These errors may include&nbsp;\n<ul>\n<li>typos<\/li>\n<li>syntax error in my American English or C++ programming language<\/li>\n<li>inconsistency&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>errors in the code examples<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;.
