How to use Visual:
Visual C++ for Linux Development with CMake
by Marc Goodner
From the article:
In Visual Studio 2017 15.4 you can now target Linux from your CMake projects. This enables you to work on your existing code base that uses CMake as your build solution without having to convert it to a VS project. If your code base is cross-platform you can target both Windows and Linux from within Visual Studio.
This post will give an overview of the CMake support for Linux in Visual Studio. You can go here to learn more about CMake in Visual Studio generally.
Top 20 C++ multithreading mistakes and how to avoid them--Deb Haldar

Top 20 C++ multithreading mistakes and how to avoid them
by Deb Haldar
From the article:
Threading is one of the most complicated things to get right in programming, especially in C++. I've made a number of mistakes myself over the years. Most of these mistakes were luckily caught in code review and testing ; however, some arcane ones did slip through and make it into production code and we had to patch live systems, which is always expensive.
In this article, I've tried to catalog all the mistakes I know of, with potential solutions. If you know any more pitfalls, or have alternative suggestions for some of the mistakes – please leave a comment below and I'll factor them into the article.

C++17 in detail: Parallel Algorithms -- Bartlomiej Filipek
Let’s see how C++17 can make writing parallel code a bit easier.
C++17 in details: Parallel Algorithms
by Bartlomiej Filipek
From the article:
With C++17 we get a lot of algorithms that can be executed in a parallel/vectorized way. That’s amazing, as it’s a solid abstraction layer. With this making, apps is much easier. A similar thing could be achieved possibly with C++11/14 or third-party APIs, but now it’s all in the standard.

From the article:
Writing multithreaded code is hard. You’d like to utilize all of the machine’s processing power, keeping code simple and avoid data races at the same time.

Safe Numerics Library
by Robert Ramey
Summary of the talk:
This presentation describes the necessity, utility and usage for a library of safe integer types. These types function in all respects the same way as built-in integers, but guarantee that no integer expression will return an incorrect result. The library can be reviewed at the boost library incubator.
