Title: C++17 and its Standard Library
(combine with the Modern C++ training)
in German
Audiance: Software developers, programmers
Format: Inhouse workshop with excercises
Background: Programming in C++
Duration: 1 day
   
Contents:

C++17 is the third evolution in Modern C++ programming, which is now supported by the latest version of gcc, clang, and Visual C++. Although it is not as big a step as C++11, it contains a large number of small and valuable language and library features, which will change the way we program in C++. As usual, not everything is self-explanatory, combining new features gives even more power, and there are hidden traps.

This training presents all major language and library features of C++17. It covers the motivation and context of each new feature with examples and background information. The focus is on how these features impact day-to-day programming, what it means to combine them, and how to benefit from C++17 in practice.

As a well-known expert of C++, author of several books and an active member of the C++ standardization committee, 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 C++17 in commercial software systems.

   
Topics:
  • Basic Language Features:
    • Structured Bindings
    • if and switch with initializers
