GoingNative no longer a standalone conference, being rolled into CppCon
The fall C++ conference calendar is consolidating around the new CppCon.
Yesterday afternoon, the organizers of the popular GoingNative C++ conference announced that they will not organize a GoingNative 2014, in favor of supporting CppCon instead as "'the' C++ conference" and the natural successor to GoingNative.
From the announcement:
With CppCon, there's no longer a need to put on a separate GoingNative -- CppCon is just better in every way.
The Call for Submissions is still open, so we don't know the final session list yet. However, topics that are expected to be covered in CppCon sessions include some you'll likely anticipate, as well as others you'll be surprised and delighted to see covered by experts in their fields:
- C++11 and C++14, of course
- C++ libraries and frameworks
- Parallelism and multiprocessing, including coverage of the Concurrency TS, Parallelism TS, and other C++ libraries and tools for parallel computing
- Concepts and generic programming
- Functional programming
- High-performance and low-latency computing
- Real-world application experience reports
- Tools and processes for C++ development
- Using C++ in mobile applications, embedded devices, and Internet of Things
- Industry-specific C++: gaming, trading, scientific, robotics, ...
- And more...
If you liked GoingNative, you will love CppCon [... with] 150+ talk sessions expected -- plus more than just regular talks, including "unconference time" with lightning talks, birds-of-a-feather sessions, evening gatherings, and more.
