Using Modern C++ - stepping up to C++17

The C++17 ISO standard has just become official and is already shipping from the major compiler suppliers (GCC, Clang, Microsoft). The shape of C++20 is under active discussion and early versions of some potential new features are already available.

This talk will consider the implications for the use of C++. It will offerl guidelines and techniques for using new and older features with focus on features that can make a significant difference to developers by simplifying programming or increasing performance.
