CppCon 2015 program is available: 100+ talks, all new

By Blog Staff | Jul 28, 2015 11:33 AM | Tags: None

cppcon-054.PNGThe CppCon 2015 program has been posted! A few additional well-known speakers will also be announced soon for the remaining plenary sessions, but the majority of the program is now set: After the opening keynote by Bjarne Stroustrup on "Writing Good C++14," once again there are 100+ top-quality talks in 6 tracks all week long at this year's premier C++ festival, presented by over 80 speakers from around the world.

Note that there are no repeats -- all of the 100+ talks are new since last year. (If you missed last year's talks, you can watch them for free online on YouTube and Channel 9.) This year the program committee had even more submissions than last time, nearly twice as many as could be accepted. Even though this meant turning down lots of very good talk proposals simply for lack of room, the good news is that's because there was so much even stronger material, and this year's program is packed with the very best topics and content on C++ available this year. Register now for September 20-25, 2015!

Here's the announcement:

CppCon 2015 Program Available

The CppCon 2015 Program is now (mostly) available with talk titles, abstracts, and speakers. The program contains over 100 one-hour sessions by over 80 speakers including many speakers returning from last year’s very successful program as well as many new voices. Not all sessions are announced yet, but we have announced our opening keynote by C++ creator Bjarne Stroustrup on Writing Good C++14.

Finally, we would like to thank the program committee, the speakers on the program, and the many more who proposed talks which we unfortunately just couldn’t squeeze in this year. Thank you for your hard work and enthusiastic support for this year’s program!

Bloomberg C++ Challenge for Chance to Attend CppCon

By Blog Staff | Jun 12, 2015 09:24 AM | Tags: None

Announced by Bloomberg this week, starts June 22:

Got What it Takes? Enter C++ Challenge for Chance to Attend CppCon

From the press release:

This summer, Bloomberg is hosting a weekly coding competition in partnership with the Standard C++ Foundation and CppCon, the flagship C++ conference. Part of Bloomberg’s overall CodeCon program, this contest will award seven problem solvers with a trip to Bellevue, Washington to attend CppCon in September 2015. The competition will be opened only to students currently enrolled in a university or college. Bloomberg CodeCon is a browser-based eLearning platform used by universities in their curricula, and powers coding challenges for college students in the US and Europe.

The series of seven weekly challenges will kick off on June 22, 2015, and each week contestants will be provided a different set of problems to solve via Bloomberg’s cloud-based CodeCon platform. Each week’s winner will earn a trip to CppCon in September. The list of seven winners will be announced and notified via email on August 5.

Additional coding contests will take place at the CppCon event in September for those who attend.

“We are excited to expand the types of competitions we can create and the opportunities CodeCon can provide to contestants,” said Rangan Prabhakaran, Bloomberg R&D developer and creator of CodeCon. “Focusing the competition to C++ and partnering with an industry leading conference like CppCon allows us to open greater opportunities for the programmer community at all skill levels.”

Keep an eye out for further contest details by following us on Twitter @BloombergLabs where we will be announcing the beginning of challenges – and make sure you are checking out the Bloomberg CodeCon site: http://codecon.bloomberg.com/.
