Video available: Sean Parent, "Better Code: Data Structures" -- CppCon 2015 Wednesday keynote

By Blog Staff | Sep 26, 2015 03:31 PM | Tags: None

parent-cppcon15-v.PNGThe wonderful week of CppCon 2015 has just concluded, and we now have the Wednesday keynote video available below. (Reminder: All the sessions, panels, and lightning talks are being professionally recorded and will be available online worldwide for free. Like last year, expect them about a month after the conference ends. We're making a special effort to make the daily keynote/plenary sessions available early.)

Here it is:

Better Code: Data Structures (YouTube)

by Sean Parent, CppCon 2015 day 3 keynote

The standard library containers are often both misused and underused. Instead of creating new containers, applications are often structured with incidental data structures composed of objects referencing other object. This talk looks at some of the ways the standard containers can be better utilized and how creating (or using non-standard library) containers can greatly simplify code. The goal is no incidental data structures.

We hope posting these few highlights during and shortly following CppCon can help to let everyone in the worldwide C++ community share in the news and feel a part of the gathering here in the Seattle neighborhood this week. Even if you couldn't be here in person this year to enjoy the full around-the-clock technical program and festival atmosphere, we hope you enjoy this nugget in the video presentation.

Video available: Herb Sutter, "Writing Good C++14 by Default" -- CppCon 2015 day 2 plenary session

sutter-cppcon15-v.PNGCppCon is in full swing, and once again all the sessions, panels, and lightning talks are being professionally recorded and will be available online worldwide for free. Like last year, expect them about a month after the conference ends.

This year the team is trying to get a few of the big talks up early while still busily recording the 100+ others still in progress. Yesterday, they posted Bjarne Stroustrup's opening keynote video less than 48 hours after the live talk, and we're pleased to see that as of this writing over 10,000 of you have already enjoyed it online in its first day!

Today, the team posted the video for Herb Sutter's Day 2 plenary talk, which he described as "part 2 of Bjarne's keynote" with a focus on type and memory safety with live demos. If you couldn't be at CppCon on Tuesday in person, we hope you enjoy it:

by Herb Sutter, CppCon 2015 day 2 plenary session

This talk continues from Bjarne Stroustrup’s Monday keynote to describe how the open C++ core guidelines project is the cornerstone of a broader effort to promote modern C++. Using the same cross-platform effort Stroustrup described, this talk shows how to enable programmers write production-quality C++ code that is, among other benefits, type-safe and memory-safe by default -- free of most classes of type errors, bounds errors, and leak/dangling errors -- and still exemplary, efficient, and fully modern C++.

Video available: Bjarne Stroustrup, "Writing Good C++14" -- CppCon 2015 opening keynote

stroustrup-cppcon2015-v.jpgCppCon is in full swing, and once again all the sessions, panels, and lightning talks are being professionally recorded and will be available online -- about a month after the conference, because it takes time to process over 100 talks!

However, because of the importance of Bjarne's open keynote announcements on Monday, the team has pulled out the stops to process his video and get it up on YouTube (and maybe soon also Channel 9 for areas where YouTube is not available). It's there now, so if you couldn't be at CppCon on Monday in person, check it out:

The team says that they may also fast-track the other daily keynote/plenary sessions as well, some of which are directly related to Bjarne's keynote. If that happens, we'll post links here too. In the meantime, enjoy Bjarne's groundbreaking talk -- as one CppCon attendee and longtime C++-er said, "this is one of the most exciting weeks for C++ I can remember." We agree.

CppCon 2014 Unicode in C++--James McNellis

By Adrien Hamelin | Sep 18, 2015 08:00 AM | Tags: intermediate

Have you registered for CppCon 2015 in September? Don’t delay – Registration is open now.

While we wait for this year’s event, we’re featuring videos of some of the 100+ talks from CppCon 2014 for you to enjoy. Here is today’s feature:

Unicode in C++

by James McNellis

(watch on YouTube) (watch on Channel 9)

Summary of the talk:

In some programming languages, text processing is easy. Unfortunately, C++ is not one of those languages. C++ lacks good, built-in support for Unicode, though the situation is starting to improve.

This session will begin with a brief overview of text encodings, and an introduction to Unicode and the various Unicode encodings. We'll look at the woeful state of Unicode support in C++98 (or, really, lack thereof), then take a look at the improvements that were made in C++11 and other improvements that have recently been proposed for standardization. We'll finish up with a discussion of several libraries designed to make it easier to work with Unicode in C++, including the widely-used, open-source International Components for Unicode (ICU) library.

C++ in Huge AAA Games

by Nicolas Fleury

(watch on YouTube) (watch on Channel 9)

Summary of the talk:

Video games like Assassin's Creed or Rainbow Six are among the biggest code bases with a single static linking. Iteration-time is critical to develop a great game and keeping a complete compilation-time of a few minutes is a constant challenge. This talk will explain the C++ usage reality at Ubisoft Montreal for huge projects. Ideas will be shared regarding performance, debugging and iteration time.
