Back to Basics: Algorithms

Tuesday, October 3 • 09:00 - 10:00

by Klaus Iglberger

Summary of the talk:

“There was never any question that the [standard template] library represented a breakthrough in efficient and extensible design” (Scott Meyers, Effective STL, 2008)

Originally developed as part of the Standard Template Library (STL), algorithms have become a must-know tool for every C++ developer. They increase productivity, significantly reduce bugs, and improve maintainability. This talk explains why and how algorithms do this. Additionally, it demonstrates why they are an amazing example for good, extensible software design.
