University Carlos III of Madrid in Leganés
For the 3rd year, University Carlos III of Madrid, hosts using std::cpp, an event for C++ software developers held in Spain. Past editions of using std::cpp have had participations around 200 people each year where 75% were professional software developers and the other 25% where academics and students. The event offers a godd opportunity for the Spanish C++ comunity to gather together and exchange experiences about the language as well as to provide udpdated information about the language.
Some program highlights:
- Concepts Lite (Manu Sánchez, By Tech)
- Contract based programming in C++ (J. Daniel García, University Carlos III)
You may access to videos and slides from previous years:
For more information you may contact J. Daniel Garcia.

Video available: Herb Sutter, "Writing Good C++14 by Default" -- CppCon 2015 day 2 plenary session
CppCon is in full swing, and once again all the sessions, panels, and lightning talks are being professionally recorded and will be available online worldwide for free. Like last year, expect them about a month after the conference ends.
This year the team is trying to get a few of the big talks up early while still busily recording the 100+ others still in progress. Yesterday, they posted Bjarne Stroustrup's opening keynote video less than 48 hours after the live talk, and we're pleased to see that as of this writing over 10,000 of you have already enjoyed it online in its first day!
Today, the team posted the video for Herb Sutter's Day 2 plenary talk, which he described as "part 2 of Bjarne's keynote" with a focus on type and memory safety with live demos. If you couldn't be at CppCon on Tuesday in person, we hope you enjoy it:
Writing Good C++14... by Default (YouTube) (slides)
by Herb Sutter, CppCon 2015 day 2 plenary session
This talk continues from Bjarne Stroustrup’s Monday keynote to describe how the open C++ core guidelines project is the cornerstone of a broader effort to promote modern C++. Using the same cross-platform effort Stroustrup described, this talk shows how to enable programmers write production-quality C++ code that is, among other benefits, type-safe and memory-safe by default -- free of most classes of type errors, bounds errors, and leak/dangling errors -- and still exemplary, efficient, and fully modern C++.

We hope posting these few highlights while CppCon is still in progress can help to let everyone in the worldwide C++ community share in the news and feel a part of the gathering here in the Seattle neighborhood this week. Even if you couldn't be here in person this year to enjoy the full around-the-clock technical program and festival atmosphere, we hope you enjoy this nugget in the video presentation.
Video available: Bjarne Stroustrup, "Writing Good C++14" -- CppCon 2015 opening keynote
CppCon is in full swing, and once again all the sessions, panels, and lightning talks are being professionally recorded and will be available online -- about a month after the conference, because it takes time to process over 100 talks!
However, because of the importance of Bjarne's open keynote announcements on Monday, the team has pulled out the stops to process his video and get it up on YouTube (and maybe soon also Channel 9 for areas where YouTube is not available). It's there now, so if you couldn't be at CppCon on Monday in person, check it out:

by Bjarne Stroustrup, CppCon 2015 opening keynote
The team says that they may also fast-track the other daily keynote/plenary sessions as well, some of which are directly related to Bjarne's keynote. If that happens, we'll post links here too. In the meantime, enjoy Bjarne's groundbreaking talk -- as one CppCon attendee and longtime C++-er said, "this is one of the most exciting weeks for C++ I can remember." We agree.
