Boost Your Productivity with Modern C++ - Now with C++17 -- Peter Gottschling

By Peter Gottschling | Apr 3, 2017 09:09 AM | Tags: c++17 c++14 c++11

Repeating the last years' popular course, again being held in English and German:

Boost Your Productivity with Modern C++ - Now with C++17

by Peter Gottschling

About the training:

The course is designed for software developers who aim for excellent software characterized by intuitive interfaces and maximal performance. Our goal for this 4-day course is that you can afterwards program perceivably more productively. That your programs are usable more flexibly and nonetheless explore the hardware as efficiently as possible. That your software becomes clearer and simpler and thus more readable and more maintainable. For this purpose, we intensively use features of C++11, C++14, and for the first time C++17.

The trainer Peter Gottschling is the author of the advanced C++14 book "Discovering Modern C++",the Matrix Template Library 4, co-author of the Boost Graph Library and other scientific libraries. He is vice-chair of DIN's programming language group and was (the last) head of the German delegation in the ISO committee for C++ standardization.

Understanding Object Lifetime in C++ in Denver, April 20, 2017—Jason Turner

By Jason Turner | Mar 30, 2017 07:03 AM | Tags: None

Join us for a 1 day course in Denver, CO, USA April 20, 2017

Understanding Object Lifetime in C++

by Jason Turner

About the training:

C++ has what very few other languages have: a well defined object life cycle. Understanding this key aspect of C++ is critical to writing clean, maintainable, and efficient C++.

Join us for an interactive one day workshop where we will describe the lifecycle of an object in C++ and work through increasingly complex examples. Come prepared for lots of group discussion. There will be something for C++ developers of all skill levels to learn.

You will leave the workshop with an increased knowledge of C++ that will help you to design better programs and libraries.

"What's new in C++11/14?" Training in Berlin, 04-06 April 2017

By Giuseppe D'Angelo | Mar 9, 2017 12:49 PM | Tags: None

Join us in the upcoming C++11/14 training in Berlin, 04-06 April 2017.

What's new in C++11/14?

Training course by KDAB

About the training

C++11 is a new major version of the C++ standard, released in 2011, and brings many new features to C++ that make the language safer, faster as well as easier and more fun to use. Every professional C++ developer will sooner or later come into contact with C++11/C++14 and introducing its advantages early can only be beneficial.

In this hands-on C++11 and C++14 training for professional C++ developers, you will learn the language changes and the standard library changes introduced in C++11 as well as the changes from C++14.

In class, C++11 and C++14 will be demonstrated with the aid of many examples, and you will get the opportunity to use C++11 and C++14 right away in our lab projects.

The full table of contents for the course is available here.

An update on the Meeting C++ Workshop Day

I finally can announce that the workshops will end with talks by James McNellis and Michael Caisse:

An Update on the workshop day

by Jens Weller

From the article:

Michael Caisse - boost.fusion: power to the tuples

    Tuples provide heterogeneous, compile-time containers; however, they can be difficult to use at run-time. Boost.Fusion brings together compile-time and run-time semantics to produce the STL of the meta-programming world. It is the machinery behind several Boost libraries and is a common element in many of the solutions provided by Ciere Consulting.


James McNellis - Practical C++ Coroutines

    One of the most interesting new features being proposed for C++ standardization is coroutines, formerly known as “resumable functions”. C++ coroutines are designed to be highly scalable, highly efficient (no overhead), and highly extensible, while still interacting seamlessly with the rest of the C++ language.

I finally can announce the Meeting C++ Workshop day on Dec. 3rd in front of the Meeting C++ Conference:

Announcing the Meeting C++ Workshop Day!

by Jens Weller

From the article:

For the first time ever, I do organize a Workshop Day in front of Meeting C++! This is going to be a fun day giving you the knowledge of either C++ in embedded or parallelism.

While some details are still in the making, I already can announce that the speakers of the parallelism workshop are Thomas Heller, Boris Schäling and Michael Wong! The embedded workshop will feature a hands on session from KDAB "Creating HMI for embedded devices with C++ and Qt/QML" by Tobias Koenig.
