CppCast Episode 23: Game Dev and Low Latency with Nicolas Guillemot

by Rob Irving and Jason Turner

About the interviewee:

Nicolas Guillemot started studying C++ and OpenGL to make games, and fell in love with them. He enjoys participating in game jams, and has had the opportunity to work in some game development studios: Inlight Entertainment, and Electronic Arts. He is currently taking a break from finishing a bachelor's in software engineering to work at Intel, doing mostly graphics-related work to help game developers take advantage of Intel GPU features.

Object Oriented Programming without Inheritance - ECOOP 2015--Bjarne Stroustrup

Here is the last talk from Bjarne Stroustrup:

Object Oriented Programming without Inheritance

by Bjarne Stroustrup

Abstract:

Object-oriented programming is often characterized as encapsulation plus polymorphism plus inheritance. The original Simula67 demonstrated that we could do without encapsulation and Kristen Nygaard insisted that some OOP could be done without inheritance. I present generic programming as providing encapsulation plus polymorphism. In C++, this view is directly supported by language facilities, such as classes, templates and (only recently) concepts. I show a range of type-and-resource-safe techniques covering a wide range of applications including containers, algebraic concepts, and numerical and non-numerical algorithms.

About the interviewee:

David Stone has spoken at C++Now and Meeting C++. He is the author of the bounded::integer library and has a special interest in compile-time code generation and error checking, as well as machine learning. He owns DoubleWise C++ Consulting, providing on-site training with an emphasis on performance and correctness. He also works at Markit integrating real-time financial data. He once wrote an optimizing compiler that solved the halting problem, and is just waiting for it to finish compiling his program.

 

The Dos and Don'ts of Multithreading -- Hubert Matthews

Hubert Matthews talked at the this year's ACCU conference in Bristol with lot's of examples and detailed insight about:

The Dos and Don'ts of Multithreading

by Hubert Matthews

From the conference's schedule:

Multithreading is a popular subject and we've all been led to believe that we need to write threaded programs as single-threaded performance hits a ceiling. However, multithreading is no panacea and may cause more problems than it solves. This talk, suitable for programmers of any level and language, seeks to describe some of these problems and also how to avoid them through appropriate design choices.
