modern-cpp-features

For context, I was working in C++ when C++0x was considered exotic and a bunch of actually useful stuff was in boost, basically making boost mandatory - and the headache of setting up a project and tooling to do that was enough to push me to other languages for small projects. When I picked C++ back up, I had a greenfield project I wanted to work on and I landed on this as a reference: https://github.com/AnthonyCalandra/modern-cpp-features. I just started working on my project and every time I ran into something where I knew other languages or libraries covered a gap, I would look through that guide and use it as a reference to bring it into my code. Smart pointers, auto types being two big ones. That, and threads, concurrency primitives - I remember hitting those and being like wow, you don't need a bunch of #IFDEF's to be cross platform

Just go through this https://github.com/AnthonyCalandra/modern-cpp-features and you should be fine. If you also like thorough explanations and graphs, there's https://hackingcpp.com/ that could answer many questions you might have. By the way, just in case, bookmark this online C++ reference https://eel.is/c++draft/ for diving in deep waters. Good luck!

I'm a little 10 years out from writing C++ professionally and I found this cheat sheet[0] useful. Basically if you have an inkling of the concept you're looking for, just search on that cheat sheet to find the relevant new C++ thing. Specifically for me, we used Boost for smart pointers which are now part of the stdlib, and threads are now part of the stdlib as well. [0] https://github.com/AnthonyCalandra/modern-cpp-features

I'm hearing the term "modern C++" bandied about. I'm guessing it means "C++ has evolved to something worth considering versus more modern languages". What do you think? Given a real world project, what might lead you to use modern C++ instead of Golang, Zig, Rust etc? Or is C++ too old and dusty despite its updates?

seriously, don't bother with c++. it will become irrelevant eventually. but if you choose to ignore my advice, check[0] these[1] [0]: https://github.com/AnthonyCalandra/modern-cpp-features [1]: https://github.com/rigtorp/awesome-modern-cpp

This repo has a concise summary of new features, if that is the sort of thing you are looking for: https://github.com/AnthonyCalandra/modern-cpp-features

I will copy my answer from a previous "Ask HN" that asked a similar question. > https://cppbyexample.com/ > > https://hackingcpp.com/ > > https://www.learncpp.com/ > > https://github.com/AnthonyCalandra/modern-cpp-features > > https://cppinsights.io/ it's a must so you can investigate what gets generated by templates behind the scenes. > http://eel.is/c++draft/ bookmark this, you will need it! Now, about books I would suggest the latest "A tour of C++" by Bjarne Stroustrup; it's ideal for experienced programmers that want to learn modern C++ rather fast. Other books would be Scott Meyers' Effective Series, Andrei Alexandrescu and Herb Sutter are a must, and of course Jason Turner's "C++ Weekly" series [1]; of course apart from the books, the links I have originally shared are more than enough to cover everything aroun

Here you go: https://cppbyexample.com/ https://hackingcpp.com/ https://www.learncpp.com/ https://github.com/AnthonyCalandra/modern-cpp-features https://cppinsights.io/ it's a must so you can investigate what gets generated by templates behind the scenes. http://eel.is/c++draft/ bookmark this, you will need it! Enjoy!

Remove the trailing semicolon https://github.com/AnthonyCalandra/modern-cpp-features

I would suggest to go through https://github.com/AnthonyCalandra/modern-cpp-features ; it's quite clean.

TLDR; Learn both and choose the right tool for the right job. Now, for C++ I can share some links I personally follow: https://github.com/AnthonyCalandra/modern-cpp-features https://www.youtube.com/c/lefticus1/videos https://www.fluentcpp.com/ https://www.cppstories.com/ https://hackingcpp.com/ https://www.modernescpp.com/ About Rust, this link https://www.rust-lang.org/learn shares far too many goodies that any level of programmer can benefit out of it. Enjoy!

There you go https://github.com/AnthonyCalandra/modern-cpp-features

In my humble opinion, any C++ developer wants to call him or her self a professional must read his books...all of them! So, to recap, here are the names of C++ specialists you need to read their books and / or articles they publish: * Bjarne Stroustrup of course * Andrei Alexandrescu * Scott Meyers * Herb Sutter * Jason Turner (His YouTube channel is a must; too many goodies in it!) * Nicolai Josuttis * John Lakos If you just want to revise your C++ knowledge and bring it up to date, just read the following repo and you are good to go https://github.com/AnthonyCalandra/modern-cpp-features

I'm going to disagree with sibling and say that a lot has changed since 2007. The biggest game changers arrived in C++11 like auto and move semantics, but C++17 also introduced some interesting stuff like optionals, destructuring, folding expressions and lambda capturing this by value. Here's a list with code samples: https://github.com/AnthonyCalandra/modern-cpp-features As much as I enjoy hating on C++, I have to admit most of the new features are great.
