It is important to know the distinction between an l-value and an r-value if you are to be a serious C++ programmer. This article is intended to provide a basic understanding of their differences.

This is my second article on multi-threaded programming. I highly recommend you to read Multi-threaded Programming 1 before proceeding any further.
Concurrent programming, Parallel programming and Asynchronous programming are often spoken about in the same breath. However they aren’t necessarily similar.
‘const’ keyword is a type qualifier that can be associated with an object. It tells the compiler to mark the object as read-only.
How a sub-shell differs from a sub-process/child-process can often be a cause for confusion. Hopefully, this article may help alleviate it.

Templates allow us to write generic classes (called template classes) and generic functions(called template functions) that can work with generic data-types.

Lambdas or Lambda Expressions were introduced into the standard in C++11.

I was once asked in an interview about the importance of memory alignment. I had absolutely no clue as to what it meant or why it was important in high performance/low latency programming.
Writing good multi-threaded code is a skill in itself. There are several concepts one needs to be familiar with before starting out to write a multi-threaded program. I will briefly explain some of these concepts with a focus on C++.
