The Modern C++ Core: Mastering C++11 and C++14
Master Modern C++ (C++11 & C++14) by learning not just the syntax, but the correct and effective use of its features. Refactor legacy-style code into safer, cleaner, and more expressive designs while deepening your understanding of ownership, performance, and concurrency in real-world applications.
Course Description
This course offers a comprehensive and practical exploration of Modern C++ (C++11 and C++14), designed to help developers write safer, clearer, and more expressive code. Through hands-on examples and guided refactoring of legacy C++98-style implementations, learners progressively adopt modern language and library features such as uniform initialization, move semantics, smart pointers, scoped enums, lambdas, templates, STL container improvements, and concurrency with std::thread and std::async. The focus is not just on syntax, but on understanding design intent, ownership models, exception safety, and performance-aware programming.
Whether you are new to Modern C++ or already familiar with its features, this course helps bridge the gap between knowing the tools and using them correctly. Beginners will gain a structured and confidence-building introduction to modern constructs, while experienced developers will deepen their understanding of subtle behaviors, best practices, and real-world application patterns. By the end of the course, participants will be able to apply Modern C++ features thoughtfully and effectively in production-quality systems.
