About This Document

Usage

This document contains videos and articles about different aspects of C++ programming. Best way to learn from them is to try them yourself, or in case of a lecture, read some more about this topic in C++ documentation.

Advanced topics

You should not proceed to the topics after C++ STL without knowing the basics of C++ (or completing at least one series from Basics Of C++ category). The content following C++ STL isn't sorted by the difficulity, everything there is considered advanced C++. You should be able to understand most of that and apply it in real world after compeling Basics Of C++ category.

Purpose

This place is mostly targeted for people with basic C++ and STL knowledge. It's supposed to improve your code's readibility, performance and make your code more compact by using STL features.
