Trip Report: ACCU 2013 and the C++ Standards Meeting -- Anthony Williams

By Blog Staff | May 7, 2013 07:41 AM | Tags: None

Anthony Williams just posted another nice trip report on the recent standards meeting in Bristol, as well as a few words on the ACCU conference held back-to-back with the ISO meeting:

ACCU 2013 and the C++ Standards Meeting

by Anthony Williams

 

This year's ACCU conference was at a new venue: the Marriott hotel in Bristol. This is a bit closer to home for me than the previous venue in Oxford, which made the trip there and back more comfortable. As ever, the conference itself was enjoyable, educational and exhausting in equal measure.

 

This year was also BSI's turn to host the Spring ISO C++ committee meeting, which was conveniently arranged to be the week following ACCU, in the same hotel. Having not attended a meeting since the last time the committee met in the UK, I was glad to be able to attend this too. ...

Webinar: C++ in the Multi-Device Enterprise -- David Intersimone

By David I | Mar 20, 2013 03:36 PM | Tags: intermediate basics

On Tuesday, March 26, Embarcadero's David Intersimone will be speaking live on the web:

C++ in the Multi-Device Enterprise

David Intersimone, "David I"
Vice President of Developer Relations and Chief Evangelist

Tuesday, March 26, 2013

• 6:00AM PDT / 9:00AM EDT / 13:00 UTC
• 11:00AM PDT / 2:00PM EDT / 18:00 UTC
• 5:00PM PDT / 8:00PM EDT / 11:00AM 27-Mar Australia EDT

Description:

In every conversation, social network post and industry article, you hear about the need for multi-device support inside an Enterprise.  Terms like BYOD appear in most articles and Enterprise strategies.  Computing in a modern Enterprise is not only a Microsoft Windows world.  Enterprise organizations need to support a wide array of devices that their employees are using to be more productive.  The modern enterprise also needs to support additional software architectures including Cloud computing, multi-tier, REST and SOAP web services and more.

This webinar showcases how C++ can help satisfy the Enterprise’s need to support multiple devices on desktops, servers, web, mobile and multi-tiers in their infrastructure.  Coverage includes C++Builder’s support for ISV and enterprise class integrated database, middleware and cloud computing. With C++Builder XE3, you get integrated support for SQL Server, Oracle, Sybase, DB2, InterBase, SQL Anywhere, SQLite, MySQL, and cloud services including Windows Azure and Amazon.

During the webinar, you will learn how to:

• Leverage platform services, devices and sensors in your multi-device C++ applications
• Build multi-device C++ applications that connect with enterprise SQL databases
• Create multi-device C++ desktop applications that consume web services using SOAP and REST
• Build scalable multi-tier, multi-device, master detail database applications

Clang/LLVM developer conference sold out

By Blog Staff | Mar 20, 2013 09:23 AM | Tags: None

As noted yesterday, the C++ Now 2013 conference has sold out well in advance. There's one other conference that sold out almost immediately we should also mention:

For those interested in developing for the Clang C++ compiler and its LLVM back-end, the Third Annual European LLVM Conference (announced here Jan 16) also sold out quickly -- all confirmed attendees received their confirmation mail at the end of January. If you didn't receive that mail in January, you can still add yourself to the waiting list in case some spots become available.

If you missed registering for C++ Now or the Clang/LLVM Conference, check out additional C++ events coming up around the world in the Upcoming Events section on the sidebar.

DDS Programming Using Modern C++ -- Sumant Tambe

By Blog Staff | Mar 11, 2013 04:24 PM | Tags: None

For those in the Bay area this week, the ACCU USA Chapter is presenting the following talk:

DDS Programming using Modern C++

Speaker: Sumant Tambe

Date: March 13, 2013

Location: Symantec, VCAFE building, 350 Ellis Street (near E. Middlefield Road), Mountain View, CA USA 94043

Sumant writes:

Resurgence of C++ is spreading in many industries. International computer system standards that target C++ for application portability, are quickly adopting modern C++. At the Object Management Group (OMG) -- an international standards consortium -- the DDS-PSM-Cxx and the IDL2C++11 standards have been ahead of the curve. The DDS-PSM-Cxx is among the family of standards around the core Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard for developing high-performance distributed real-time systems. ...

I’m privileged to talk about the DDS-PSM-Cxx standard in a local event organized by the San Francisco Bay Area Association of C/C++ Users (ACCU). This is a great after-hours free-of-cost get-together for anyone who wants to know more about C++. The event will take place on March 13th in Mountain View not far from the RTI HQ.

Registration open for C++ and Beyond 2013

This just in on the C++ and Beyond blog... Scott Meyers writes:

Registration for C&B 2013 is open!

C++ and Beyond 2013 will take place December 9-12 at the Salish Lodge and Spa in Snoqualmie, Washington, USA (not far from Seattle). Registration is now open.

Attendance will be limited to 64 people.  (That’s the capacity of the ballroom.) Given that C&B has attracted about 100 people each year, it’s essentially certain that we’ll sell out.  As a result, I encourage you to sign up as soon as you can. Once we sell out, we’ll start a waiting list, but past experience suggests that we won’t be able to offer spots to more than a handful of people on that list.

Early bird registration runs through June 9 and features a 10% discount off the standard registration fee.

Click here to register.

Detailed information about C++ and Beyond is available at its web site:

• A summary of the event and an overview of the thinking behind it.
• The (always evolving) schedule for C&B 2013.
• Venue information, including how to make your hotel reservation (which is separate from registering for C&B itself).
• The C&B FAQ.
• Videos of past C&B presentations.

Andrei and Herb and I hope to see you at C&B 2013 in December!
