Hm, this seems to be more advice on how to use C++14 as if it were its own language, or as if it were Java, or as if it were Scheme.<p>One problem I have with the advice to use the newest language features in C++ is that it sacrifices one of the biggest advantages to writing code in C++: the ability to compile for multiple platforms. It&#x27;s extremely unlikely that one has a compiler for every platform that supports all of these features. Additionally, each of these language features adds a small bit of convenience to the developer, while making the compiler substantially more complicated (and hence, more prone to errors).<p>To summarize the points made in the first 10 slides, which is far as I read (sorry)-<p>1) Always use auto.<p>2) Use for-each.<p>3) Don&#x27;t use new or delete.<p>4) Use STL for everything.<p>5) Use smart pointers.
