Why did I write a book?

I believe in breaking the barriers to knowledge sharing.
I wanted to organize my knowledge of C++ and document it.
I have written this book to contribute to the existent resources of C++, like a drop in the vast ocean.
There are numerous books on C++, each one with a different style of writing.
This book is also unique in its style.

Also, it is in my nature to be action-oriented.
I have always liked creating stuff.
I am an action-oriented person.
I do not want to sit idle.
I want to get moving.
I want to move fast and break things.
I want to start somewhere.
I want to take the first step on the untrodden paths.
The first step that Steve Jobs took in creating Apple led to a revolution in the computer industry.

I absolutely do not expect this book to be ground-breaking.
But I am really happy that I could build, I could create something.
For me, the greatest happiness lies in watching my hard-work take a form.
In this case, a book.
