Can anyone suggest a good course / resource for someone who used C++ a lot about ten years ago, and now wants to pick it back up, the "look and feel" of the language having changed substantially in the intervening period due to greater use of templates for generic programming, move semantics, lambdas, and the like?

This helped me:

And for type computation (as opposed to constexpr value computation),
you can sometimes replace C++98-style templated structs containing
typedefs by decltype with the C++14 auto return type used with
(non-constexpr) template functions. When you call decltype on a
function application the function is not executed: only its return type
is deduced.
You can use decltype with function templates in C++14 to iterate over
and manipulate type lists at compile time, for example.
Excluding signature overloading, there are I suppose four kinds of
compile-time computation available to the user now in C++14: sizeof,
decltype, constexpr and templates. Of these, C++98 had only sizeof and
templates. Possibly there are more: I would need to think about that.

I have an offer to help someone who is willing to use my software.
