2. Extended C++20 Reference Card  

While you can quickly grab the single-page version of my C++20 Reference Card, there’s also an extended version!

The basic version packs all the new features on one page, but the other has two pages: the first page for the language features and the second page for the Standard Library changes. It has more features, better examples, and a nicer look.

C++20 Ref Card

Here’s the post with the latest update to the C++20 Ref card:

Available for the “Know & Learn” Tier and above (5$+).

Available for all Patrons since Nov 2021, you can see it here:

Bonus: Extended C++20 Ref Card November Update

3. Lambda Story Ebook  

All Patrons got immediate access (for free) to my book about Lambda Expressions!

And on the highest tier, you can have the book in print for free!

This short book reveals all the aspects of one of the most powerful Modern C++ features. Learn how lambdas evolved, understand how they work, and see their future changes.

Lambda Story

You can also buy the book at @Leanpub

4. C++ Initialization Story Ebook  

In June 2022 I released another book called “C++ Initialization Story”

Throughout this text, you will learn practical options to initialize various categories of variables and data members in Modern C++. More specifically, this text teaches multiple types of initialization, constructors, non-static data member initialization, inline variables, designated initializers, and more. Additionally, you’ll see the changes and new techniques from C++11 to C++20 and lots of examples to round out your understanding.

You can also buy the book at @Leanpub

Available for the “Know & Learn” Tier and above (5$+).

5. Weekly Newsletter - C++ Links  

C++ Links

Available for all Patrons.

Each week you’ll get a cool newsletter about things in the C++ World!

I cover the latest articles, blogs, presentations, events, and more.

You’ll get:

  • 3…5 longer summaries of selected articles/news
  • 7…10 hot C++ news and articles
  • Around 900 - 1200 words, with clear sections,
  • No sponsored ads.

Those weekly emails make you up-to-date with C++ and save your time.

See a preview here: from 5th August 2021

6. PDF Version of Blog Articles  

Each month my patrons also get the PDF version of the article that appeared on my site. This is a handy resource if you’d like to read the text offline.

Available for the “Know & Learn” Tier and above (6$+).

Here’s one example:

PDF: Notes on SFINAE and C++20 Concepts

What people say  

I am pleased with the bonus content C++ Stories provides. I like that I can easily learn how C++ evolves in the right direction with lambdas, concepts, algorithms, and more…

For a non professional programmer like myself, the overall language (style) of Bartek’s blog is a perfect fit. the bonus articles I get as a patreon member are detailed with concrete examples. Bartek doesn’t focus always on showing the ‘best’ approach. Instead shows a whole range of approaches, discusses pros and cons of each. This is a style that I am able to connect with and therefore enjoy reading.
