Description

This course is intended as a “first look” aimed at developers who know C++ and use Visual Studio 2013 today. The aim is to show these developers what features they can use in the preview, and what C++ related topics they should be learning more about in preparation for using Visual Studio 2015. Developers who don't know C++ should learn it with my C++ Fundamentals (2 parts) course. Developers who are not familiar with Visual Studio 2013 should learn it with my Introduction to Visual Studio (2 parts) course.
