C++ for C Developers: Guidelines for Migration and Modern Programming

Watch a conference talk from Meeting C++ 2024 that guides C developers through the migration process to C++, exploring key differences and similarities between the languages. Learn essential C++ concepts including references, function overloads, classes, and templates while understanding which C programming habits to unlearn, such as relying on raw arrays and pointers. Discover how to effectively use the C++ Standard Library, work with std::string instead of character arrays, and adopt object-oriented programming paradigms. Master practical guidelines for a smooth transition from procedural to object-oriented programming, with specific focus on abstraction mechanisms and modern C++ best practices.
