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!

Embedded Programming with Modern C++

The modern C++ was designed to be the better programming language for embedded and system programming.

As we have outlined, Modern C++ enables you to handle and address

 
* safety-critical systems.
* high-performance requirements combined with limited resources.
* work to be done in parallel.

For example, C++20 will likely get improved containers, which can be created at compile time. You can expect a `constexpr std::vector`, a `constexpr std::array`, and a `constexpr string`. But that is not all! Containers such as `std::flat_map` will overcome the weaknesses of a `std::map`. 

The low latency study group (SG14) aims for the improvement of C++ in embedded and system programming. Experts from the game development, finance trading, and embedded domains have the same vision in mind and continue to develop C++ further.


If you want to peek into the future, you can read the proposals for future C++ versions here: [C++ Standards Committee Papers](http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/). 

We hope this course might even help you participate in forming of the C++ future.
