Are you tired of applications that freeze while saving a file or fetching data from a network? Have you ever stared at a bug that only appears "sometimes," a telltale sign of a race condition? The world of concurrent programming can feel like a minefield of deadlocks and data corruption, forcing many developers to stick with safe, but slow, single-threaded code.
This book changes that. We start with a simple analogy—a coffee shop—and build from there, transforming abstract concepts into concrete skills. We will guide you step-by-step from the foundational "why" to the practical "how." You will face the "dark side" of concurrency, but we will give you the tools and patterns to overcome it. By the end of this journey, you will no longer be intimidated by threads; you will command them. You will see your multi-core CPU not as a complex liability, but as a powerful asset you can finally harness.
What's inside
This is a strictly hands-on book. Inside, you will master:
- The Core Building Blocks: Go deep on std::thread, std::future, std::promise, and std::async to manage asynchronous tasks.
- Essential Synchronization: Learn to eliminate race conditions and deadlocks with std::mutex, std::lock_guard, and std::scoped_lock.
- Advanced C++20 Primitives: Master modern coordination tools like std::latch, std::barrier, and std::semaphore to solve complex synchronization problems with elegant code.
- Scalable Data Structures: Apply design principles to build high-performance, thread-safe data structures like a sharded hash map from scratch.
- The Future of C++ Concurrency: A complete guide to understanding and using C++20 Coroutines to write non-blocking asynchronous code with the simplicity of synchronous logic.
- Capstone Project: Use everything you've learned to build a complete, multi-client, asynchronous TCP echo server from the ground up.
Who it's meant for
This book is for you if:
- You are a C++ developer who wants to write faster, more responsive, and more scalable applications.
- You understand C++ basics but find the topic of concurrency complex or intimidating.
- You want to modernize your C++ skills and learn the latest C++17 and C++20 concurrency features.
- You learn best by doing and want a practical, project-based guide, not just dry theory.
Stop leaving performance on the table. Stop writing code that only uses one of your computer's brains. It's time to unlock the true potential of your hardware and write the kind of responsive, high-throughput applications that modern users demand.
Take control of your threads and start building next-generation software today.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
