If you're a very advanced C++ developer with an appetite for template mechanics, these two articles that were posted in the past 24 hours may interest you.
Note: The vast majority of C++ developers don't need to know this, but very advanced developers will find the material and the techniques interesting.

Modern C++, modern apps:
How Microsoft is taking on the cross-platform challenge with Office
by Mary Jo Foley
Summary: Microsoft's Office team has a new approach designed to allow it to share more of Office's code across not just Windows, but also Android, iOS and the Web.
Note: This is a 50-minute version of the same talk given at CppCon in two one-hour sessions. After presenting this at CppCon, Igor was invited to present the information also at Facebook's @Scale.
See also Dropbox's CppCon talk about how Dropbox uses a similar architecture, and moved to C++ to enable a single cross-platform source base after initially having written separate apps in Java for Android and Objective-C for iOS.
From the article:
Zaika talked about Microsoft's Office cross-platform architecture strategy at the recent Facebook @Scale conference. ... In his 50-minute session, Zaika detailed how Microsoft is building Office across Windows, Apple, Android and the Web by using C++. ...
The goal is to maintain a shared core of intellectual property — the guts of Office — all written in C++ and keep that shared core as large as possible. By doing this, risks of document corruption are reduced. On top of that core, there is a set of native UX application programming interfaces. ...
The goal of "write once, run anywhere" which technologies like Java, Flash and HTML5 were designed to try to solve by pushing the level of abstraction as low as possible or making application programming interfaces (APIs) very broad sounded good, Zaika said, but ended up creating impedance mismatch. Compatibility and interoperability problems, among others, arose. "Either you blew up, or the OS (operating system) blew up," Zaika said. ...
With a common C++ core, a thin native UX layer and evolving PALs, Microsoft is building its Office apps so they work on different OSes with fairly little tweaking required. Zaika cited PowerPoint as an example, noting that only four percent of its tens of millions of lines are unique to the WinRT/Universal version of Office (the touch-first Office release some of us have been calling "Gemini"). If the XAML code is excluded, the amount of shared code is 98.6 percent he said. The PowerPoint for Android code base includes 95 percent shared code, Zaika said.

Last week the last ticket for Meeting C++ has been sold:
Meeting C++ is sold out for now
by Jens Weller
from the Article:
Ticket sales have been strong all summer long, and those who have yet not got their ticket will have to wait, maybe even for next year. There might be a second batch of tickets, which will not be more then 10-30 tickets released at the beginning of November. But for now, we are at almost 300 Attendees for Meeting C++! This includes the 50 Students, the speakers, the staff and all sold tickets.

At CppCon last month, InformIT recorded this video interview. It has now been posted:
A Video Interview with Herb Sutter on C++ Standards
with Brian Overland
From the synopsis:
Herb Sutter ... talks with Brian Overland about how the standards committee evaluates proposals, the importance of being egoless, how to submit a proposal to the standards committee, why the committee decided to update the standard every three years, and the adoption of C++ in cross-platform mobile apps.

Today is the community planning session:
This Thursday: Community Planning Session
We'll meet at #meetingcpp in freenode at 17:00 CET!
From the article:
For the second time, we'll have the communtiy planning session happening at the freenode channel #meetingcpp. It will officially last one hour, but most likely be again the full evening a very busy chat. Last time we had guests from Europe, the US and Brazil...
