C++ track at NDC Oslo 2016, June 6-10 (CFP ends Feb 15)

For the third year in a row we will set up a strong C++ track at the NDC conference in Oslo, June 6-10. 

   The Call for Paper ends February 15   

At NDC Oslo the typical crowd of 2000+ developers can choose from 9-10 parallel tracks over 3 long days (June 8-10). One of these tracks will be about C++, but there will be tracks on embedded programming, security and IoT just to mention a few. There are also many preconference 2-day tutorials/workshops (June 6-7) and several of these will be on C++ and C (stay tuned).

We have already signed up several solid C++ speakers. Anthony Williams, Mark Isaacson, Hubert Matthews, Dan Saks, Andrei Alexandrescu, will be there. Will you? We have a few more slots available. In particular we are looking for C++ gurus based in Europe. Feel free to also contact Olve Maudal directly if you are interested.

If you are curious about the NDC conference please take a look at the humorous promo video for last years event.

C++Now 2016 Call for Submissions is Live

C++Now 2016 will be held in Aspen, May 9–14, 2016.cpp_Now.png

C++Now 2016 Call for Submissions

From the invitation:

Building upon the resounding success of previous BoostCon and C++Now conferences, C++Now 2016 will present leading speakers from the whole C++ community.

The C++Now Conference is dedicated to discussion and education about C++, an open and free language and standard.  Our Conference will focus on discussion and education about open source software usage and developments in the C++ developer and user community. To reflect the breadth of the C++ and Boost communities, the conference includes sessions aimed at three constituencies: C++ and Boost end-users, hard-core library and tool developers, and researchers pushing the boundaries of computation. The program fosters interaction and engagement within and across those groups, with an emphasis on discussion.


As a multi-paradigm language, C++ is a melting pot with the most compelling ideas from other programming communities blending in powerful ways. Historically, some of the most popular sessions at C++Now have highlighted these concepts, from DSLs to functional programming to transactional memory and more.  Bring your C#, Python, Ruby or Haskell influences to bear in an environment that will broaden their exposure.

At C++Now 2016 we would like to focus on the now established C++11 and C++14 standards and how those standards shape C++’s future. However, by no means is this intended to restrict the topics of proposals we hope to see. Any other topic related to C++, as described below, is suitable for submission.

This year's window for submitting is shorter than normal. Submissions must be in by January 29th, less than four weeks away.

 

Trip Report: using std::cpp 2015 at Spain

On November 18th 2015, for the third year in a row, we had a C++ day in Spain. Our local event using::std cpp 2015 starts to consolidate as an annual event for the Spanish C++ community. Each Fall more than 100 developers join some academics and students to exchange experiences about using C++.

My full English language trip report can be found here:

Trip report: using std::cpp 2015

DISCLAIMER: Please, note that all talks where given in Spanish. We will be publishing the slides and videos in the next days. However, we feel that this activity is of interest for a wider audience...
