A View to a View

Explore the concept of views in C++17 through this conference talk from C++Now 2018. Dive into the complexities, pitfalls, and benefits of using views as fundamental building blocks in software design. Learn how views can enhance performance, create cleaner abstractions, and improve code readability. Examine the design, implementation, and usage of both standard library and user-specific views. Discover various types of views, including basic views, generators, ropes, transforms, and filters. Gain insights on when and how to use views effectively in your C++ projects. Benefit from Peter Bindels' expertise as he rethinks common programming concepts and explores new ideas in C++ development.
