This repository contains a comprehensive, expert-level C++ Modern Engineering Roadmap covering the full spectrum from C++11 to C++23.
Designed for developers with existing C++ knowledge who want to level up to professional, idiomatic modern C++.
The roadmap is structured in 7 progressive phases:
- Phase 1 — Modern syntax: auto, structured bindings, optional, variant, string_view
- Phase 2 — Resource management: RAII, smart pointers, Rule of Zero/Five, move semantics
- Phase 3 — STL mastery: containers, algorithms, lambdas, Ranges & Views (C++20)
- Phase 4 — Templates, SFINAE, Concepts & metaprogramming (C++20)
- Phase 5 — Concurrency: threads, atomics, jthread, coroutines, lock-free patterns
- Phase 6 — Architecture: SOLID, design patterns, testing (GTest/Catch2), static analysis
- Phase 7 — Professional tooling: modern CMake, vcpkg/Conan, sanitizers, CI/CD pipelines
Plus two appendices covering C++20/23 deep dives (Modules, Coroutines, std::expected, std::mdspan, std::print...) and a curated reference list of books, talks, and tools.
Developers who already know C++ basics and want a clear, actionable path toward professional-grade modern C++.
Synthesized from C++ Core Guidelines, CppCon talks, Effective Modern C++ (Meyers), C++ Concurrency in Action (Williams), cppreference.com, and industry practice.
