My Updated Course is Live! C++ for Beginners

by Kate Gregory

At the start of the lockdown, Pluralsight made its huge curriculum free to help those who were suddenly needing new skills to find a new job during the pandemic. I saw a huge number of views of my C++ course for those who don't already know how to program. It was ironic, because I was busy updating that course, a process that is finally complete...

C++ Lambda Week: Going Generic

by Bartlomiej Filipek

We’re in the third day of the lambda week. So far, you’ve learned basic syntax and how to capture things. Another important aspect is that lambdas can also be used in the “generic” scenarios. This is especially possible since C++14 where we got generic lambdas (auto arguments), and then in C++20, you can even specify a template lambda!

The C++ Standard Library: The Third Edition includes C++20

by Rainer Grimm

I proudly present the third edition of my book: "The C++ Standard Library". The book includes C++20.

With the current C++20 standard, C++ has many libraries to offer. My book's key idea is to give you the necessary information to all the C++ standard libraries in a concise way.

Lambda Week: Syntax changes, C++11 to C++20

by Bartlomiej Filipek

Various Template Improvements with C++20

by Rainer Grimm

Admittedly, I present in this post a few small improvements to templates and to C++20 in general. Although these improvements may seem not so impressive to you, they make C++20 more consistent and, therefore, less error-prone when you program generic.

Thirty Years C++. Interview with Bjarne Stroustrup

by Roberto V. Zicari

“If you keep your good ideas to yourself, they are useless; you could just as well have been doing crossword puzzles. Only by articulating your ideas and making them accessible through writing and talks do they become a contribution.” –Bjarne Stroustrup

Back in 2007 I had the pleasure to interview Bjarne Stroustrup, the inventor of  C++ programming language. Thirteen years later…, I still have the pleasure to publish an interview with Bjarne...
