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.

Course description:
This course takes a deep and detailed look at all the new features on offer.

Course outline:
Module 1 - General language enhancements:
• Auto variables; Using auto in template definitions; Using decltype; New return syntax; Range-based for loops; Making your own classes iterable; Generalised constant expressions; Strongly-typed enums; Null pointers; Explicit overrides; Static asserts.

Module 2 - Additional language features:
• Lvalues, rvalues, and rrvalues; Movability; Reference binding rules; Support for movability in the STL; Improved initialization syntax; Inheriting and delegating constructors; Regular expressions; Date and time; Chrono; Explicit conversions; Variadic templates.

Module 3 - Smart pointers:
• Recap of smart pointer concepts; Shared pointers; Weak pointers; Unique pointers; Techniques and patterns

Module 4 - Introduction to functional programming:
• Overview of functional programming; Using std:bind to bind parameters; Using placeholders with for_each; Passing by reference; Using std:function to represent free functions and member functions;

Module 5 - Lambda expressions:
• Overview of lambda expressions; Lambda syntax in C++11; Defining lambdas with arguments and a return value; Variable capture; Using lambdas with the STL; Performance considerations.

Module 6 - C++11 containers:
• Overview of new STL features; Using std::array; Using std::forward_list; Using unordered containers; Understanding hashing; Defining a custom hash function; Understanding buckets; In-place construction.

Module 7 - C++11 multithreading:
• Creating simple threads using std:thread; Using lambda expressions with threading; Accessing the current thread; Using mutexes; Lock management and lock strategies; Atomic variables; Condition variables; Calling functions asynchronously; Working with future values.
