Early Bird Deadline | First Speaker Announcement

From the article:

We’ll be counting down the days with announcements of this year’s plenary speakers, including today’s plenary speaker announcement.

Next Friday, the last business day of Early Bird registration, we’ll share a special goodie...

Two of our most popular speakers, Bjarne Stroustrup and Herb Sutter, are confirmed speakers for CppCon 2018.

If you're not sure what CppCon is like, here's a sample attendee quote from a previous CppCon that came up randomly on the CppCon home page this morning:

"I guess it's a bit like going to a concert where pretty much all of your favorite bands play, except you can also have lunch with them, talk to them, ask them what their songs mean and let them listen to your own songs. And share your thoughts and ideas with hundreds of other people who all feel the same. This is the Woodstock of C++."

The CppCon Early Bird discounted ticket rate is available for one more week. Register here for CppCon 2018, Sep 23-29!

From the 4th to the 9th of June 2018, Phil Nash and I attended the ISO C++ Committee meeting in beautiful Rapperswil, Switzerland, representing JetBrains. We are continuing our active involvement in developing and standardising C++ (please read the last trip report for details)...

Triple trip report from ACCU, C++ Russia and C++Now 2018 – Part 1--Jonathan Boccara

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++?

The deadline for session submissions is only days away. Review the Call for Submissions and make your submission soon. You can run your ideas by the Submission Advice mailing list, but you must hurry for this. The advice list gets very busy as the deadline draws near...

"Modern C++ Template Programming" with Nicolai Josuttis

Meeting C++ 2018 offers also a workshop with Nicolai Josuttis:

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.
