Moving to C++17
by Barbara Geller and Ansel Sermersheim
About the video:
In this video, we look at some of the significant improvements that were added to the language in C++17, and how they can apply to your code base. We also present some interesting questions you might want to ask, or be able to answer, in an interview for a position using C++17.

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.

Zero, one, two, Freddy's coming for you
by Andrey Karpov
From the article:
This post continues the series of articles, which can well be called «horrors for developers». This time it will also touch upon a typical pattern of typos related to the usage of numbers 0, 1, 2. The language you're writing in doesn't really matter: it can be C, C++, C#, or Java. If you're using constants 0, 1, 2 or variables' names contain these numbers, most likely, Freddie will come to visit you at night. Go on, read and don't say we didn't warn you.

Reverse For Loops in C++
by Carlos Buchart
From the article:
As we saw when working on dynamic bitsets, it can be useful to traverse a collection backwards, from its last element to its first one.
It would be nice to be able to use C++11 range for loops to iterate backwards. But unfortunately, there is no such reverse range-for: range-for only works forwards.
Let’s see how to traverse a collection backwards by using a range for loop...
