Title: Switching to C++11 and C++14 in one day
Proposer: Nico Josuttis
Type: Preconference Workshop
Duration: 360 mins
Description:
C++11 is standardized and C++14 is around the corner.
This raises the question for existing C++ projects and their programmers
whether and when to switch to the new language and its library.
This tutorial tries to answer that question in one day.
It gives a brief overview about the new key features of the new C++
(including the key elements auto, range-based-for-loops,
initializations, variadic templates, lambdas, move semantics,
and new language features for polymorphism)
and introduces the key elements of the new C++ standard library.
A couple of example programs demonstrates the typical application of the
new style.
As a result the attendee will have a good understanding
about the benefits of the new C++ standard.
