The title of Marc’s talk is C++20: An (Almost) Complete Overview. C++20 is going be discussed quite a bit at this year’s conference and in addition to providing an overview of the new language/library changes, Marc will guide you to other CppCon talks on C++20.
If you want a complete overview of all C++20 features, including references to other more deep-dive sessions at CppCon 2020 on certain topics, then this session is for you.
Marc’s talk will give you the confidence and familiarity you need to embrace the latest version of C++.
