Beginners guide to C++'s best kept secret -- std::algorithm

One of the most beautiful parts of the standard library is also a best kept secret to beginning C++ programmers -- std::algorithm. Most new C++ programmers do not know the standard algorithms library exists! Often in introductory texts, online tutorials or university courses, std::algorithm cannot even be found in the table of contents! In this talk, I would like to provide a proper introduction to std::algorithm. I will introduce the library, show how you can rewrite your current code using std::algorithm, and also justify why you should be using std::algorithm today and in the future. After this talk, my goal is for beginner C++ programmers to leave excited about uncovering a new paradigm for programming in C++.
