Modern C++

— New features in C++11/C++14/C++17/C++20 —

Who should attend?

Software developers who want to get acquainted with the new language features of the C++ language standards C++11, C++14, C++17 and C++20.

Prerequisites

A good working knowledge of the classical language features of C++98/03 including templates. Potentially existing prior knowledge gaps can be filled with a customised version of the course “C++ Refresher”.

Duration

3 days

Course Description

The new language standards since C++11 increased the scope of the C++ programming language considerably. Apart from many innovations, which mainly simplify the reading and writing of programs, the language standards also introduce new concepts, which require a good understanding of their objective and behaviour, before they can be applied beneficially. This course starts from classical C++ and shows which new language
features have been introduced in C++11, C++14, C++17 and C++20. Additionally Smart Pointers, as part of the C++ standard library, are covered in this course. Further innovations of the C++ standard library are subject of other courses, such as “C++ Multithreading”.
