Course Description

Thought you knew C++? Think again! The C++11 standard is a huge leap forward in the language and STL. Largely inspired by Boost, the C++11 standard introduces support for lambdas, multithreading, vastly improved object construction mechanisms, and much more beside. This C++11 and C++14 Development course takes a deep and detailed look at all the new features on offer in C++11, along with the incremental additional changes in C++14.
