Over the past year, I've completed most of the second edition. It truly is an amazing book that has helped me overcome many mental barriers I've faced with programming for years. The main reason for the reduced size of this edition is the removal of 'Part IV: Broadening the View.' This section, which covers additional topics such as text manipulation, numerical computing, and embedded systems, is now available online. The chapters have not been updated from the second edition, as the topics are still relevant and utilize C++11/14.
