Muhammad Saqib – Senior Software Engineer & Founder of MyCPlus

Muhammad Saqib author banner — MyCPlus

Muhammad Saqib is the founder and lead author of MyCPlus, the programming-education site he launched in 2004. The idea grew out of his own struggle learning to program at university — C was the first language he picked up — and the help he wished he’d had became the site he built for others. What began as a C and C++ resource has since grown into a broad hub of tutorials, working code examples, and computer science guides across many languages and skill levels.

He holds an MSc in Computer Applications from the University of Plymouth, UK (2008) and has spent over 15 years building large-scale software across automotive, healthcare, retail, mobility, and education. Along the way he has worked with Ford, Hyundai, Trilogy/DevFactory, OT EMR, Al Othaim Markets, and NUST–SEECS, and today leads backend engineering as Technical Team Lead at a public transportation authority.

A hands-on, polyglot engineer, he works across C/C++, Java, C#, PHP, Python, and JavaScript, and writes here about programming, software engineering, DevOps, Agile, and computer science.

More than twenty years on, MyCPlus keeps the goal it started with: clear tutorials, real source code, and a place for learners to get unstuck — written by someone who has been on both sides of the problem.

C++ Standard Template Library – List

The Standard Template Library (STL) is one of the most essential features of C++. It has very much grown in recent years. Basically, the Standard Template Library provides templatized, general-purpose classes as well as methods. These classes and functions/methods implement several popular and most commonly used algorithms as well as data structures.

C++ 17 – New and Removed Features

You must have heard that C++17 is now feature full or feature complete. C++ 17 is the most recent version of C++ programming language revised by ISO/IEC 14882 standard. Its specification reached the DIS (Draft International Standard) stage in March 2017 and after approval, the final standard was published in December 2017. Hundreds of proposals were put forward for updating the features in C++17.
