In this liveProject, you’ll explore the new features of C++20 by upgrading BOSS—the “Bread Optimized Shipping System” of a large national baker. The main logic of BOSS is written in C++, and your team prides itself on keeping it up to date with the latest C++ standards. Your job is to enhance BOSS using different parts of C++20.

You’ll move an existing codebase to the latest C++ features to enhance your team’s productivity, and make it possible to move faster in the future. Unlock new C++20 features such as modules to organize your code, coroutines to optimize the service response times and resource usage, ranges to support dealing with a range of elements in a collection, and concepts to manage template classes. By the time you’re done, you’ll have gotten your hands dirty with some of the most exciting new features of C++20.
