Migrating C/C++ from 32-Bit to 64-Bit By Stephen B. Morris May 11, 2015 A major driver of modern C/C++ development is the need for producing native 64-bit code. In most cases, servers and desktop systems are now almost exclusively 64-bit machines. Given this fact, isn't the move to 64-bit C/C++ code just a matter of changing a few build settings? Stephen B. Morris explains why it's not so simple.

Move Semantics in C++11, Part 1: A New Way of Thinking About Objects By Danny Kalev Jul 2, 2012 Not every resource transfer is a copy operation. In many programming tasks, the resource only moves from one object to another, emptying the source object in the process. The semantics and formal properties of these 'move semantics' are a new C++11 paradigm to make code more efficient and simulate real-world situations more accurately, as Danny Kalev explains in this two-part series.

Move Semantics in C++11, Part 2: Design and Implementation of Special Move Functions By Danny Kalev Jul 9, 2012 Move semantics in C++11 can improve your code's performance dramatically.
