C++ for C Developers
summary
Claims concrete migration steps from C to C++: stop using malloc/free and raw arrays, start using std::vector / std::array and std::string, prefer std::unique_ptr over raw pointers, pass complex objects by const&. Demonstrates actual standard‑library tools (std::find, std::sort, containers, iterators), sketches simple class and template examples, and argues these substitutions reduce leaks and copying; the recommended patterns are shown as practical, working replacements rather than abstract theory.
