Make Simple Tasks Simple!
summary
Example-driven claims and concrete tools: use auto and range-for to collapse iterator noise, replace hand-rolled loops with std::find_if or std::all_of, return containers by value enabled by move semantics instead of new/delete, and prefer unique_ptr/shared_ptr or RAII to avoid leaks. Real production code shrinks (examples report halves to fivefold reductions). A Concepts TS plus an implementation exists to make template intent checkable at compile time. Slides, code and materials live on the CppCon 2014 GitHub.
