New Course Release! C++17 in Detail by Bartłomiej Filipek

C++17 was standardised in December 2017, giving us - developers - a wealth of new features to write better code.

This course describes all significant changes in the language and the Standard Library. Thanks to many practical examples you can quickly apply the knowledge.

About the Course

C++11 was a major update for the language. With all the modern features like lambdas, constexpr, variadic templates, threading, range-based for loops, smart pointers and many more powerful elements, it was enormous progress for the language. Even now, in 2018, lots of teams struggle to modernise their projects to leverage all the modern features. Later there was a minor update - C++14, which improved some things from the previous standard and added a few smaller elements. With C++17 we got a lot of mixed emotions.

Although C++17 is not as big as C++11, it's larger than C++14. Everyone expected modules, co-routines, concepts and other powerful features, but it wasn't possible to prepare everything on time.

Is C++17 weak?

Far from it! And this course will show you why!

I spent hundreds of hours investigating how the new things work in order to make a nice and practical course for you. The course will not only save your time but also will guide you through all the nuances of the language.

The course brings you exclusive content about C++17 and draws from the experience of many articles that have appeared on bfilipek.com (and cppstories.com). It is based on the book C++17 in Detail: Learn the Exciting Features of The New C++ Standard!

The chapters were rewritten from the ground-up and updated with the latest information. All of that equipped with lots of new examples and practical tips. Additionally, the course provides insight into the current implementation status, compiler support, performance issues and other relevant knowledge to boost your current projects.

If you have experience with C++11/14 and you want to move forward into the latest C++ standard, then this course is for you.
