FYI, besides having the evolution of C++11->C++26 and an adventure game, my website now also has a fully cross-linked database of C++ Weekly episodes!

cppevo.dev/episodes/

Want to see which episodes correlate to which parts of the standard and then jump into the adventure game engine to explore?

I've built a text adventure game engine on top of the C++ Standard. Why? I have no idea. But it's a learning tool with quests and time travel and artifacts and NPC's and XP and ... well, you just have to check it out!

Check out my new C++ research tools!

Disclaimer: I used AI exclusively for this. I wanted to see how far I could push the tools.

1) LaTeX to markdown: github.com/lefticus/cpp...
2) Diff tool of per-stable-name of the markdown

If your team still has budget left this year and wants to level up their Modern C++ skills — this might be the perfect fit.

From C++11 to C++23, I offer in-house training tailored to your team’s experience.

Send me a message if you’d like to grab the last slot for this year.

#training #workshop
I still have one training spot open for 2025
