C++17 STL Cookbook

The author announces the publication of the C++17 STL Cookbook, a PACKT recipe-format book written over six months. The book's core motivation is that many C++ developers write 'C with classes' instead of leveraging the STL's algorithms and utilities. Covering roughly 500 pages across 10 chapters, topics include new C++17 language features (constexpr if, structured bindings, fold expressions), STL containers, iterators, lambda expressions, STL algorithms, strings and streams, utility classes (std::optional, std::variant, smart pointers), parallelism and concurrency, and the new filesystem library. The book emphasizes solving problems the STL way, including C++17's new parallel execution policies for trivial algorithm parallelization.
