Hi folks, up until 2013, I worked as a C++ developer but moved on to web technologies. In the last decade or so, the language and its features have moved on significantly; when I left, C++11 had barely made its way into compilers, so you could say I'm quite behind on the times.<p>This is probably a stretch, but since I want to get my feet wet in C++ again, is there some resource that could help me catch up on new features and things worth learning? I would love to avoid reading through reams of standards, but if that's it, that's it.<p>Many thanks in advance.
Read through <a href="https://www.learncpp.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.learncpp.com</a>. You'll get a complete refresher on the language, but it will be using modern C++ stuff (modern in this case means C++17).<p>For C++20 and newer, honestly, the only big feature that I ever use is concepts, although I do also use the new struct initialization syntax[0].<p>[0]: <a href="https://www.cppstories.com/2021/designated-init-cpp20/" rel="nofollow">https://www.cppstories.com/2021/designated-init-cpp20/</a>
Just go through this <a href="https://github.com/AnthonyCalandra/modern-cpp-features">https://github.com/AnthonyCalandra/modern-cpp-features</a> and you should be fine.<p>If you also like thorough explanations and graphs, there's <a href="https://hackingcpp.com/" rel="nofollow">https://hackingcpp.com/</a> that could answer many questions you might have.<p>By the way, just in case, bookmark this online C++ reference <a href="https://eel.is/c++draft/" rel="nofollow">https://eel.is/c++draft/</a> for diving in deep waters.<p>Good luck!
Tour of C++ 3rd Edition [0] would be a good start.<p>[0] - <a href="https://www.stroustrup.com/tour3.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.stroustrup.com/tour3.html</a>
