Next week is the first Meeting C++ online job fair in 2023!
Meeting C++ online job fair page
by Jens Weller
From the page:
Join the online C++ job fair on the 14th and 15th March organized by Meeting C++. The job fair will start at 15:00 CET and go until 18:00 on March 14th, on March 15th the event will be in the evening from 20 - 23:00 CET. Companies can choose to be present on both or only one of these events, or to only receive CVs through Meeting C++.
The job fair is an online event where employers and C++ job seekers get to meet each other. Candidates get the chance to get a first feel of a potential employer, and can exchange contacts with those that they'd like to apply to. Employers should book their own table and be present with one or multiple staff.

This year we had a wonderful C++ start at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. The Department of Computer Science and Engineering was honored to have Prof. Bjarne Stroustrup giving a seminar on C++ to start the semester.
We are always happy to have Bjarne Stroustrup with us. Since 2019 he holds a Honorary Doctorate by Universidad Carlos III de Madrid and he has visiting us several times.
Both talks were very well attended with a nice mix of professional developers from industry, students (bachelor, masters and PhD) and researchers and professors from several different departments.
This is a short summary of the two talks he gave:
Day 1: C++ 20: Reaching the aims of C++.
About the video
Out of necessity C++ has been an evolving language. I outline some early ideals for C++, some techniques for keeping the evolution directed, and show how C++20 comes close to many of those ideals. Specific topics ncludes type-and-resource safe code, generic programming, modularity, the elimination of the preprocessor, and error handling. Naturally, over the years, C++ has acquired many “barnacles” that can become obstacles to developing elegant and efficient code. That has been a recognized problem since the early days of C – Dennis Ritchie and I talked about it – so we must distinguish between what can be done and what should be done. The C++ Core Guidelines is the current best effort in that direction.
Day 2: Type-and-resource Safe programming in ISO Standard C++.
About the video
You can write C++ with no violations of the type system, no resource leaks, no memory corruption, no garbage collector, no limitation of expressiveness or performance degradation compared to well-written modern C++. This talk show how this can be achieved – and guaranteed – by the applying the C++ Core Guidelines, simple supporting libraries (mostly the ISO C++ standard library), and static analysis.
Many examples demonstrate how this can be done with code that’s dramatically simpler than older C++ (and C) code. This talk will touch upon RAII, type deduction, span, range checking, nullptr, initialization, invalidation, casting and variants.

Whether you're a first-time speaker, or an old pro, we have a place for you at C++ on Sea in 2023. We'd love to hear from all parts of the community, so if you have something to say - please let us know!
The 2023 Call for Speakers opens
From the article:
The call runs until 8th January 2023. If you're reading this at the start of December that might sound like a long way off, yet - but don't be fooled! Due to time dilation caused by the end of year holiday season, it can sneak up much faster than you expect. So don't delay.

We use C++ for its raw power. But that power comes at a price: the language is notoriously hard to use correctly and efficiently - especially both at the same time. And that's before you try and make it easy for the next person to read, too!
The Power of Clean C++
by SonarSource
From the announcement:
Regardless of our skill level we could all use a little help writing our best code. In this webinar I'll show how you can be guided by tools that work in your IDE, on your builder server or CI, and as you merge pull requests. Well look at a series of examples of real code - some with less-than-obvious issues and see how these tools work. We’ll get your code clean - and stay clean - with minimal effort and without being overloaded with warnings.
For extra context: this is a Sonar event, so Sonar tools will be shown.
