A look at resumable functions:
Resumable Functions: async and await
by Jens Weller
From the article:
While I did my series about the papers for Bristol, there was one paper, which I personally found a bit weird. This paper was about resumable functions, and at that time it was just another paper full of ideas for C++ to me. At C++Now suddenly, I got a better insight to what the use of resumable functions could be...

A nice comparison on converting a string to int:
C++ String to Int
by Ivan Neeson
From the article:
In this post I will compare the following methods for parsing a string into an integer in C++:
- Manually
atoi()strtol()sscanf()std::stoi(C++11 only)std::istringstream- Boost.LexicalCast
- Boost.LexicalCast with C locale
- Boost.Spirit.Qi
- Boost.Coerce

Next in Andy Koenig's current series on move operations:
Moving and Rvalue References
by Andrew Koenig
From the article:
Last week, I said that the C++ type system helps the compiler figure out whether to move or copy an object. I'd like to continue by saying more about how it does so...

A wonderful video series by the inventor of the Standard Template Library (STL).
Video Series: Efficient Programming with Components
by Alexander Stepanov
Performance is essential for infrastructure software. Modern infrastructure software depends heavily on components. Therefore, writing performant code in this environment requires deep understanding of the characteristics of such components. The course will help programmers to improve performance of their code by learning how to use these existing generic components effectively. In addition, it will teach them to extend the library with new high-performance components. Along the way, participants will learn how to use C++ as a high-performance language.The course will be taught interactively with the class discussing, discovering, and developing components together.
