MODERN C++ FOR FINANCIAL APPLICATIONS - DANIEL HANSON

Discover the power of modern C++ in the world of finance! This book is an indispensable guide for programmers who want to harness the full potential of this language to create advanced financial applications. Learn about the modern features of the C++ standard added since 2011 and see for yourself that C++ still remains one of the dominant languages in the financial industry. Whether you are an experienced C++ programmer or just starting your adventure with quantitative programming, this book will provide you with the necessary knowledge and skills.

• Understanding the basics of C++ from a modern perspective
• Using C++ abstractions to securely implement financial models
• Learning about popular open-source libraries for solving mathematical problems
• Implementing basic numerical procedures in modern C++
• Learning to write clean and efficient code
• Diving into newer features and abstractions, including functional programming
• Task-based concurrency and smart pointers

Daniel Hanson, the author of this book, is an experienced specialist with over twenty years of experience in financial modeling and software development. His extensive experience includes implementing option pricing and portfolio risk models in C++. Subsequently, as a lecturer at the University of Washington, he shared his knowledge of quantitative programming in C++ and R, and also conducted training in financial modeling and trading strategies. With this book, you can benefit from his knowledge and experience to become an expert in the field of financial programming in C++.

This book demonstrates why C++ is still one of the dominant languages, the quality of which allows the creation of financial applications and systems. Many programmers consider C++ too difficult to master. The author, Daniel Hanson, refutes these opinions by showing modern features of the C++ standard added since 2011. Financial programmers will learn how to use C++ abstractions to securely implement financial models. You will also learn about popular open-source libraries that provide additional means to attack mathematical problems. C++ programmers unfamiliar with financial applications will also benefit from this handy guide. Learning the basics of C++ from a modern perspective: syntax, inheritance, polymorphism, composition, STL containers and algorithms. Immersion in newer features and abstractions, including functional programming using lambda expressions, task-based concurrency, as well as smart pointers. Implementation of basic numerical procedures in modern C++. Understanding best practices for writing clean and efficient code.
