Triple trip report from ACCU, C++ Russia and C++Now 2018 – Part 1
by Jonathan Boccara
From the article:
Going to conferences is a great experience, to learn about your domain and meet people that work in it. Going to conferences can give you tools to write better code.
I’ve had the chance to go to (and speak at) three conferences over a month:
- ACCU in Bristol, UK at the beginning of April,
- C++ Russia in Saint-Petersburg, Russia in mid April,
- C++Now in Aspen, US at the beginning of May.
I haven’t seen many people attending all three of them, so I figured I could make a combined trip report, to give you an idea of what they’re like. And more importantly what you would get by attending either one.
And a huge thanks to the company I work for, Murex, for sending me all over the world of C++!

Call for a more diverse program at Meeting C++ 2018!
by Jens Weller
From the article:
Last years track for new speakers was a great success, so Meeting C++ will dedicate a track to this now in every year. So I'd like to reach out to the C++ Community, who do you think has something interesting to say about C++ and could start speaking at this years Meeting C++?

Modern C++ Template Programming
by Jens Weller
From the article:
Each and every C++ programmer uses templates. Containers such as vector<> or array<>, strings, algorithms such as sort(), iterators, and I/O streams are all implemented as generic code. Modern C++ adds type traits, smart pointers, and template member functions such as emplace(), and generic lambdas as a tricky form of generic code.
Nevertheless the knowledge and understanding of how to implement and use templates is very limited and each and every programmer is sooner or later getting uncertain.
This workshop therefore discusses templates for a whole day to make clear what it means to use templates and how to use them in practice. As a result the general understanding of templates will be improved and generic code might become more helpful and less surprising.
