Boost Your Productivity with Modern C++ - Now with C++17 -- Peter Gottschling
Repeating the last years’ popular course, again being held in English and German:
Boost Your Productivity with Modern C++ -- Now with C++17
by Peter Gottschling
About the training:
The course is designed for software developers who aim for excellent software characterized by intuitive interfaces and maximal performance. Our goal for this 4-day course is that you can afterwards program perceivably more productively. That your programs are usable more flexibly and nonetheless explore the hardware as efficiently as possible. That your software becomes clearer and simpler and thus more readable and more maintainable. For this purpose, we intensively use features of C++11, C++14, and recently C++17.
The trainer Peter Gottschling is the author of the advanced C++14 book ”Discovering Modern C++”,the Matrix Template Library 4, co-author of the Boost Graph Library and other scientific libraries. He is vice-chair of DIN’s programming language group and was (the last) head of the German delegation in the ISO committee for C++ standardization.
The complete course description including the list of topics is available here. Next trainings: 3/5-8/2018 in English, 6/18-21/2018 in German, 9/17-20/2018 in English.

Pimpl vs Abstract Interface - a practical tutorial -- Bartlomiej Filipek
In the article we describe how to limit compilation dependencies. Two methods are discussed: pimpl approach and via abstract interfaces
Pimpl vs Abstract Interface - a practical tutorial
by Bartlomiej Filipek
From the article:
In the post I covered the pimpl pattern. I discussed the basic structure, extensions, pros and cons and alternatives. Still, the post might sound a bit “theoretical”. Today I’d like to describe a practical usage of the pattern. Rather than inventing artificial names like MyClass and MyClassImpl you’ll see something more realistic: like FileCompressor or ICompressionMethod.
