Learning (and teaching) modern C++ - Challenges and Resources
summary
Defines modern C++ as three concrete pillars: new language and library features (C++11/14/17 and upcoming), the compilers and optimizer support that make idioms practical, and the community’s evolving idioms and tooling. Calls out resources that actually help: CppCoreGuidelines with static-analyzer rule sets, cppreference.com with editable, executable examples, ISOCpp.org for curated links and videos, and community forums. Warns against stale textbooks and instructors stuck on Turbo C++/C++98, advises starting learners on smart pointers and modern idioms like ranges.
