Are you looking for a collection of short straightforward snippets of modern C++ covering the core features in C++11 and beyond? Of course you are!
As I'm constantly learning C++ myself (disclaimer, I'm not an expert, just enthusiastic), I wanted to create some simple examples of each of the main features of the language. You can build each example individually or as a whole.
Let me know if this is useful to anyone or if there are any areas you want covered. Suggestions, enhancements and errata welcome.
This is a (probably perpetual) work in progress!
