The Visual C++ team attended CppCon 2023, the largest in-person C++ conference, in Aurora, Colorado from October 2-6th. There were over 700 attendees from the C++ community, and we really enjoyed getting a chance to meet all of you and talk about your unique backgrounds and C++ experiences.

From the article:

Some of our team member’s talks are now available to watch on YouTube so that you can watch them even if you missed CppCon to learn the latest for our tooling and more:

• How Visual Studio Code Helps You Develop More Efficiently in C++ – Alexandra Kemper and Sinem Akinci – YouTube
• New in Visual Studio: CMake Debugger, Better Diagnostics, and Video Games – David Li & Mryam Girmay – YouTube
• Lifetime Safety in C++: Past, Present and Future – Gabor Horvath – CppCon 2023 – YouTube

The venue was at the Gaylord Rockies this year. The Gaylord Rockies is a resort with a massive convention center and many restaurants to go check out. Somehow, it still felt small, as we were constantly running into familiar C++ faces and meeting them in different areas in the convention center. There really is no experience like it.
