C++Now 2015 Student/Volunteer Program Accepting Applications

By Adrien Hamelin | Feb 16, 2015 11:39 PM | Tags: community c++14 c++11

You are a student? Look at this:

C++Now 2015 Student/Volunteer Program Accepting Applications

From the website:

The C++Now Student/Volunteer program was started in 2013 in an effort to encourage student involvement in the C++Now conference and the C++ community. Each year, the conference helps a small group of young programmers attend the conference. In exchange, the students help the C++Now staff in running the conference. Volunteers assist with various on-site tasks, such as recording sessions, escorting keynote speakers and setting up the conference picnic. They are able to attend most sessions. Volunteers receive a waiver of their registration fees and stipends for travel-related expenses may be provided.

ndc-2015.pngThere was a lot of interest for the very strong C++ track that we hosted at the NDC conference in Oslo last summer. Here is a brief summary of the event, including links to the videos we recorded.

We are repeating the success this year, June 17-19. A few big C++ names has already been signed up, but there is still available slots in the agenda. If you would like to be part of the C++ track this year, please submit your proposal soon.

Schedule for ACCU 2015 has been published

By Olve Maudal | Jan 13, 2015 04:28 AM | Tags: None

The schedule for the annual ACCU Conference has just been published. The conference will be held at Marriott Hotel City Centre, in Bristol, UK, on April 21-25, 2015. The conference is focused on professionalism in programming, but as always the schedule contains a lot of talks about C++.

ACCU is a small and friendly conference, typically 300-400 attendees living together in the same hotel for a week discussing everything about programming. Most of the talks are 90 minutes, with long breaks inbetween, inviting to deep and insightful discussions both during and after the sessions. If you are into programming, especially C++, this is a conference that you might want to consider.

Ask the STL Creator about Generic Programming

An online (Slashdot) interview of Alexander Stepanov and Daniel Rose, authors of "From Mathematics to Generic Programming" is now soliciting questions.

Add a reply to this Slashdot announcement to pose a questions. Ask as many questions as you'd like, but only one question per reply please:

Interview: Ask Alexander Stepanov and Daniel E. Rose a Question

An anonymous reader writes:

"Alexander Stepanov studied mathematics at Moscow State University and has been programming since 1972. His work on foundations of programming has been supported by GE, Brooklyn Polytechnic, AT&T, HP, SGI, and, since 2002, Adobe. In 1995 he received the Dr. Dobb's Journal Excellence in Programming Award for the design of the C++ Standard Template Library. Currently, he is the Senior Principal Engineer at A9.com. Daniel E. Roseis a programmer and research scientist who has held management positions at Apple, AltaVista, Xigo, Yahoo, and is the Chief Scientist for Search at A9.com. His research focuses on all aspects of search technology, ranging from low-level algorithms for index compression to human-computer interaction issues in web search. Rose led the team at Apple that created desktop search for the Macintosh. In addition to working together, the pair have recently written a book, From Mathematics to Generic Programming. Alexander and Daniel have agreed to answer any questions you may have about their book, their work, or programming in general. As usual, ask as many as you'd like, but please, one per post."
