Post Modern C++ 2

POSTCPP2 - Version:1
Description
The modern C++ era arrived with the STL, the C++98 standard and a host of techniques and guidelines. Unfortunately, it also came with a lot of complexity of techniques, syntactic noise and unfulfilled potential. C++11 represented a fundamental shift in both language features and supported programming styles, a postmodern tradition continued in C++14 and the forthcoming C++17 standard.
Intended audience
C++ developers, software architects and team leads.
