C++ grows very fast! For example, the number of pages of the C++ standard went from 879 pages for C++98⁄03 to 1834 for C++20! Nearly 1000 pages! What’s more, with each revision of C++, we get several dozens of new features. Have a look at my blog post with all C++17 features, it shows 48 items, and my C++20 reference card lists 47 elements!

Since 2011, when C++11 arrived, we all should be changing our coding style into modern C++ and at the same time keep good old tips. There are also general rules for programming and bug-free coding. Here’s a list of guidelines and other resources that might help you. Core C++ Guidelines Main site: C++ Core Guidelines

I am very curious about the D language and its community. Although, I do not have lot’s of experience with this language, I try to track news and important updates. Recently, I’ve noticed that there is another book released regarding the language: D Cookbook, by Adam D. Ruppe Let’s see what’s inside this book

C++11 conformance GCC 4.81 - 100% Clang 3.3 - 100% Intel 14.0 - 84% Visual C++ 2013 - 66% Another year is almost over so it is a good time to check what is going on with C++. This time more stats and real data compared to my post from the previous year.

As it appears, our ability to code can be improved by taking some practices from martial arts! CodeKata is a catchy name for set of exercises that done regularly should make your coding skills better. Today I would like to share my “answers” to one of the Kata - karate chop, or simply the binary search algorithm.

This year (2012) and the previous one were good time for C++ language. We have the new standard: C++0x became C++11. What is more important is that the language will definitely not be forgotten and new ideas and plans are coming! Another key thing is that Cpp is used in a lot of new spaces - for instance in WinRT, C++ AMP, QT5 with C++11 support and more.
