Beginners in C++ will be able to learn basic concepts of C++11 with practical examples. Intermediate programmers in C++ will learn foundational aspect of C++11 advanced concepts in a pragmatic way. Expert programmers(aka C++ hackers) can enjoy evolutionary ideas leading to future of C++11(aka C++1y), Boost and beyond.<br><br>This book or booklet is an attempt to voice our understanding of foundation of algorithms newly introduced in C++11 from programmers' perspective who wish to keep themselves abreast with latest advent in C++ and beyond, but quite often than less, find themselves amidst a myriad of disconnecting information, simply due to sheer size of tremendous information available at hands reach, leading to a vast array of tips n techniques. Nonetheless, when it comes to applying same to their day-to-day problems, they end up struggling a lot to find the apt one. <br><br>This is the very first of this series which is out as promised above! We have adopted a top-down approach to instil our notes in a cohesive manner. <br><br>The style is pedagogical : we took an algorithm, newly introduced in C++11, looked at its usage, patterns, limitations, corner-cases, preconditions, post-conditions, constraints etc. while keeping a close eye on the interface, its possible evolution in
