People often ask me for resources to learn C++
I highly recommend “Embracing Modern C++ Safely” by John Lakos, Vittorio Romeo, Rostislav Khlebnikov and Alisdair Meredith.
This book does a masterful job at describing C++ features recommendations: how to use and when to avoid.
The third part of my miniseries about iterations (at compile time):
C++ Templates: How to Iterate through std::tuple: C++26 Packs and Expansion Statements cppstories.com/2025/tuple-it…
#programming #cpp #cpp26
Do you (or your agents :)) use it in code?
IIFE for Complex Initialization cppstories.com/2016/11/iife-…

Check out my recommended tools for learning C++: cppstories.com/p/resources/ #coding #cplusplus #programming #cpp

C++20 <chrono> finally gives us real calendar support in the Standard Library!
I’ve published "7 Practical std::chrono Calendar Examples" with small, concrete problems:
cppstories.com/2025/chrono-c…
The article focuses on questions like:
• What’s the 3rd Friday of a month?
• What’s the last business day?
• How many days since Jan 1?
• What really happens with Jan 31 + months{1}?
All examples are short, self-contained, and runnable.
Topics covered include:
• nth / last weekday of a month
• end-of-month handling (incl. leap years)
• calendar vs duration arithmetic
• simple business-day logic
If you’ve avoided <chrono> calendars so far, this is a good place to start

Bartlomiej Filipek (@fenbf) has nicely explained the evolution of C++ enum classes; C++26's reflection is quite interesting.

#cpp26 finally gives us clean, language-level tools for tuple iteration.
No more index_sequence gymnastics.
In my article I show how structured binding packs let you turn a tuple into a real parameter pack and use it in folds, transforms, etc.
For example #cpp26 adds expansion statements - template for.
It behaves like a compile-time loop over tuple elements.
No std::get, no recursion, no apply hacks. Just:
template for (auto e : tuple) { ... }
Super close to plain runtime code.
I wrapped everything into examples: printing, transforming tuples, dot products, and generic helpers.
If you know the old tricks (apply, index_sequence), this shows how C++26 simplifies them.
