Templates - First Steps

The next article on the results from the Meeting C++ survey
The most popular C++ standard features
by Jens Weller
From the article:
Continuing the series about the Meeting C++ survey results with a look at the standard features. Last week I compared the ISOCPP survey to the one of Meeting C++.
When I was looking into the questions I could ask in the survey tool, it came to my mind that it would be interesting to know more about the details of standards, not just asking for which standard folks use in various ways. So in this blog post, I'm going to show you the questions about standard feature usage.

Mathematical constants in C++20
by Jens Weller
From the article:
When I researched the library and language features of C++20 for the Meeting C++ Community survey, this feature catched my eye.
And I thought its such a nice small feature, I should mention it on the blog. As all other C++20 blog posts right now seem to be about coroutines. It also is a nice follow up on an old blog of mine: C++ & π, where I showed the various ways of obtaining pi for C++ in 2013...

Taming the power of C++ with AI
by Jens Weller
From the article:
In January Bryce Adelstein Lelbach gave a talk about NDVIDIAS CUDASTL fork at my online C++ User Group. Shortly after this talk was published on YouTube I got contacted by a start up, seeking feedback on their ideas of accelerating C++ with help of GPUs and AI...

C++ Fold Expressions 101
by Jonathan Boccara
From the article:
C++17 brought fold expressions to the language. This interesting feature allows to write expressive code, that almost seems magical.
Here is a two-posts recap on how fold expressions work (this post) and how they can improve your code (the next post).

Taking a look at the job related questions from the Meeting C++ community survey.
Job related results from the Meeting C++ community survey
by Jens Weller
From the article:
I started a blog series about the results for 2020 of the Meeting C++ Community survey. As next week is the second online C++ Job fair, I thought I take a look at the job related questions.
This time all graphs show the result of 2020 on the left and the current result for 2021 on the left. So you can compare and see a few first changes to 2020. Mostly the results are similar though, most questions have so far around ~200 answeres in 2021. If this trend continues, 2021 is going to collect again around 1-1.5k answers per Question it seems.
Lets start with what is your job title today?
