A curated collection of resources for learning and using modern C++ (C++11 and beyond).
Awesome Modern C++ is a curated collection of resources dedicated to modern C++ programming, focusing on standards from C++11 onward. It aggregates books, talks, blogs, libraries, tools, and community links to help developers learn and effectively use contemporary C++ features. The project solves the problem of fragmented information by providing a centralized, high-quality reference for the modern C++ ecosystem.
C++ developers of all levels seeking to learn or stay current with modern C++ standards (C++11/14/17/20), as well as teams looking for recommended libraries, tools, and best practices.
It saves time by vetting and organizing the best modern C++ resources in one place, emphasizing quality and relevance over quantity. Unlike generic lists, it focuses specifically on post-C++11 advancements and community-approved tools.
A collection of resources on modern C++
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Aggregates books, talks, blogs, libraries, and tools in one place, as evidenced by categorized sections covering everything from testing frameworks to community podcasts.
Focuses specifically on modern C++ standards (C++11 onward), featuring well-vetted resources like 'Effective Modern C++' and essential tools like clang-format and sanitizers.
Allows contributions via pull requests, keeping the list fresh and inclusive, as noted in the Contributing section that encourages submissions.
Includes ready-to-use project templates (e.g., ModernCppStarter) that bundle best practices for CMake, CI, and tooling, reducing initial setup time.
The talks section has a TODO note admitting it needs curation, indicating gaps in content that rely on volunteer effort.
Lacks built-in search or filtering; users must manually scan long lists to find resources, which can be inefficient for specific needs.
Depends on community contributions for updates, so some entries (e.g., tools or libraries) may lag behind rapid ecosystem changes without active maintenance.
