Embedded Programming with Modern C++  is highly valuable for each professional programmer.

In the past, embedded and system programming have had their pitfalls, but modern C++ has been designed to be a better language for this type of development, addressing the previous pitfalls/requirements explicitly. What are these requirements? Embedded systems deal with safety-critical systems, meaning they must guarantee high performance combined with limited resources, while also working in parallel.

The scope of this course goes beyond just embedded programming. Developers who write servers, games, or trading systems may especially benefit from this course because they also have to deal with safety-critical systems, high performance, reduced resources, and parallel execution in their jobs.

To get the most out of the course, you only need a basic understanding of C++. Building off this understanding, this course goes over all the essentials of embedded programming with Modern C++.

Let's get started!

# New Built-in Literals with C++14

In C++ 14, there are a few new built-in literals. These are built-in literals for binary numbers, C++ strings, complex numbers, and time units. At first, let go over an overview of this new concept.

You must keep a few special rules in mind. There is a main different between the built-in literals and the user-defined literals: the built-in literals have no underscore. For the first time, C++ supports (with C++14) a C++ string literal. So far, C++ only supported C-string literals, meaning that we must always use a C-string literal to initialize a C++ string. The time literals are also very convenient since they implicitly know their unit and support basic arithmetic. They are of the type [`std::chrono::duration`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/chrono/duration).
