Hi, would you recommend this book in 2024?

FWIW, most of my recent knowledge on this topic comes from [0].

The programming-language-specific parts are more focused on C than C++ (which is my main focus), but I've still found it quite helpful.

I haven't looked at the other sources people are mentioning though, so no idea how it compares.

Thank you, I will give your resource a read :)

You're welcome! But it's not a quick read.

At least for me, it requires (a) a good reason for powering through it, (b) a good night's sleep, and (c) Adderall :)

Just saying, it may not be the most effective / efficient way to learn what you want to know.

Ahaha, luckily /s I am a bit of a weirdo and I like to delve deeper into things related to my job.

I was taught that a deeper understanding leads to better software/solutions and I strive to live up to my mentor dedication :)

aside from being fun, it just makes everything so much easier when it's not "magic"
