Modern C++, introduced with C++11 and extended with C++14 (and later C++17), is more and more established as the "new" way to program in C++.

And Modern C++ has changed programming significantly:

• On one hand, new core language features improve style and performance of C++ significantly: Lambdas, move semantics, rvalue references, several new keywords such as nullptr and noexcept, range-based for loops, initializer lists, auto declarations, scoped enumerations, variadic templates, and "context specific keywords" such as override and final.
• One the other hand, there are several extension to the standard library: new containers such as hash tables, class array<>, and single-linked lists, new smart pointers, a regex library, a library for random values and distributions, clocks, timers, and last-not-least a concurrency library to portably program multi-threaded applications with threads, mutexes, locks, condition variables and atomic data types.

This training teaches all important concepts and features of Modern C++ (core language features and libraries). You will understand why C++11 changes the way you program in C++ and which individual features came with C++11 / C++14.

Well designed practical examples and some exercises give the ability to experience the effects of C++11 using different compilers including gcc/g++, Visual C++, and clang.

As well-known expert of C++, author of several books (including "The C++ Standard Library", "C++ Templates", "C++ Move Semantics"), and active member of the C++ standardization commitee, Nicolai Josuttis will provide this training with a lot of background information. You will understand the new language features and libraries and the benefit of modern C++ to understand and be prepared for a switch to Modern C++ in commercial software systems.

• Language features:
  • Uniform initialization and initializer lists
  • Range-based for loops
  • Typenames auto, auto&&, and decltype(auto)
  • Keyword constexpr and the consequences for generic programming
  • Variadic Templates
  • Type Traits
  • Scoped Enumerations
  • Keywords decltype, alignas, override, final, static_assert, =default, =delete
  • Move semantics, the whole story: rvalue references, overloading, value categories (xvalues), universal references
  • Keyword noexcept the consequences for declarations and libraries
  • Lambdas


• Library features:
  • Effect of new language feature for the STL
  • New standard containers: array, unordered containers, forward lists
  • Smart pointers: shared pointers, weak pointers, and unique pointers
  • Multithreading and concurrency
  • Chrono and ratio (time/duration compile-time/runtime library)
  • Random numbers and distributions
  • Regular expressions
  • other small libraries
