2 Day Workshop on Core Updates to C++11

C++11 Bootstrap

Michael Caisse

Workshop leader

Workshop detail

C++11 wasn't just a new standard release, it has been described by many as a new language!

This two-day bootstrap course will get you up-to-speed with the core language and standard library changes you are most likely to employ in your daily work. We will explore the new features through examples and hand-on exercises while discussing practical uses and gotchas.

Participants should have basic knowledge of the C++ language. Bring your laptops and C++11 enabled compilers. This is a hands-on tutorial workshop.
