Discovering one of the pillars of C++ generic programming.
A quick primer on type traits in modern C++
by Internal Pointers
From the article:
Type traits are a clever technique used in C++ template metaprogramming that gives you the ability to inspect and transform the properties of types.

In this excerpt from Large-Scale C++ Volume I: Process and Architecture, John Lakos presents how to organize and package component-based software in a uniform (domain-independent) manner. This chapter also provides the fundamental C++ design rules that govern how to develop modular software hierarchically in terms of components, packages, and package groups.
C++ Packaging and Design Rules
by John Lakos
From the article:
The way in which software is organized governs the degree to which we can leverage that software to solve current and new business problems quickly and effectively. By design, much of the code that we write for use by applications will reside in sharable libraries and not directly in any one application. Our goal, therefore, is to provide some top-level organizational structure that allows us to partition our software into discrete physical units so as to facilitate finding, understanding, and potentially reusing available software solutions.

How I declare my classes and why
by Howard Hinnant
Howard is the lead designer and author of move semantics, and a longtime C++ committee member where he has served as chair of the Library Working Group and is a current member and recent chair of the Direction Group.
From the article:
When I'm reading a class declaration, the very first things I want to know are:
- What resources does this class own?
- Can the class be default constructed?
- Can the class be copied or moved?
- How can the class be constructed (other than by default, copy or move)?
- What else can one do with the class?
Note that this is an ordered list...

3 keywords that go together.
Virtual, final and override in C++
by Jonathan Boccara
From the article:
C++11 added two keywords that allow to better express your intentions with what you want to do with virtual functions: override and final. They allow to express your intentions both to fellow humans reading your code as well as to the compiler.
However, as we will see, the intention of override is super useful, but the intention of final… is harder to understand.
Both apply to virtual functions, which are the member functions of a base class that can be overridden by the classes that derive (inherit) from it...

Freestanding in Prague
by Ben Craig
From the article:
The C++ standards committee met in Prague, Czech Republic between Feb 10 and Feb 15. The standard is wording complete, and the only thing between here and getting it published is ISO process. As is typical for me at these meetings, I spent a lot of time doing freestanding things, Library Incubator (LEWGI) things, and minuting along the way (15-ish sessions/papers!)...

C++20: The Ranges Library
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
Thanks to the ranges library in C++20, working with the Standard Template Library (STL) will become much more comfortable and powerful. The algorithms of the ranges library are lazy, can work directly on the container and can easily be composed. To make it short: The comfort and the power of the ranges library are due to its functional ideas. Let me show you what that means...

Writing reliable and maintainable C++ software is hard. Designing such software at scale adds a new set of challenges. Creating large-scale systems requires a practical understanding of logical design — beyond the theoretical concepts addressed in most popular texts. To be successful on an enterprise scale, developers must also address physical design, a dimension of software engineering that may be unfamiliar even to expert developers. How do you do this?
Large-Scale C++ Volume I: Process and Architecture
by John Lakos
From the article:
Drawing on over 30 years of hands-on experience building massive, mission-critical enterprise systems, John Lakos lays the foundation for projects of all sizes and demonstrates the processes, methods, techniques, and tools needed for successful real-world, large-scale development.
Up to date and with a solid engineering focus, this book demonstrates fundamental design concepts with concrete examples.
This book, written for fellow software practitioners, uses familiar C++ constructs to solve real-world problems while identifying (and motivating) modern C++ alternatives.
