** Separate registration is required for CppCon Academy Classes. **C++ is a complex programming language. When used correctly, it delivers the best possible performance. Unfortunately, it is often misused, which causes many problems.
However, it turns out that consciously using selected language features can make it relatively easy to produce high-quality software that delivers excellent runtime performance and is error-proof. This coding style is called Modern C++.
The material of this workshop is the first chapter of the trainer’s most successful and popular training called “Advanced Modern C++”. During the class, we will go through all the key features of the C++ language, discuss potential issues and pitfalls, and provide guidelines on how to use them correctly. This training discusses various topics ranging from identifiers that do not result in undefined behavior through vital language features like name lookup, overload resolution, one definition rule, and move semantics up to the design recommendations like Rule of Zero. Among others, we will see how we can provide a custom dynamic allocation strategy for our programs and how we should design and implement customization points for our engine.
