What you'll learn

In this course, Kate Gregory takes some C++ code that was written over 10 years ago, familiarizes herself with the code, looks for code smells, identifies code that can be improved with modern C++ features, and writes a test harness to run some of that code. Play by Play is a series where you get a rare view into the workflows and thought processes of top admins, developers, and designers. This is not a planned or rehearsed presentation, but a live, unrehearsed problem solving and troubleshooting session where you see an expert think through issues and design solutions, as they do in the real world every day.
