C++ and Beyond Panel: Modern C++ = Clean, Safe, and Faster Than Ever
Posted in C++, Software Development, Talks & Events on 2012-04-30 | 4 Comments »
I just posted the following panel announcement to the C++ and Beyond site. The three-day event (plus evening-before reception) with me, Scott Meyers, and Andrei Alexandrescu will be held on August 5-8, and early-bird registration is open until May 31. C++11 is kind of like “C++ Dreamliner.” It’s built with world-class modern materials. It [...]
Talk Video: Welcome to the Jungle

Last month in Kansas City I gave a talk on “Welcome to the Jungle,” based on my recent essay of the same name (sequel to “The Free Lunch Is Over”) concerning the turn to mainstream heterogeneous distributed computing and the end of Moore’s Law. Perceptive Software has now made the talk available online [EOA: the talk itself starts six [...]
Talk + panel online: “(Not Your Father’s) C++” + “Native Languages” Panel
Posted in C# / .NET, C++, Software Development, Talks & Events on 2012-04-12 | 9 Comments »
Last week at the Lang.NEXT 2012 conference in Redmond, I gave a 40-minute C++ talk and participated on a native languages panel. Both are now online at Channel 9. Here’s the 40-min C++ talk, taken from the C9 site: (Not Your Father’s) C++ Herb Sutter What makes ISO C++11 "feel like a new language"? What [...]
We want await! A C# talk that’s applicable to C++
Posted in C# / .NET, C++, Concurrency, Microsoft, Talks & Events on 2012-04-06 | 20 Comments »
A nice talk by Mads Torgersen just went live on Channel 9 about C#’s non-blocking Task<T>.ContinueWith() library feature and await language feature, which are a big hit in C# (and Visual Basic) for writing highly concurrent code that looks pretty much just like sequential code. Mads is one of the designers of await. If you’re [...]
Interview: C++–A Language for Modern Times
Posted in C++, Talks & Events on 2012-03-29 | 21 Comments »
Last week I spent 30 minutes with interviewer Robert Hess to talk about the differences between managed and native languages, and why modern C++ is clean, safe, and fast – as “clean and safe” as any other modern language, and still the king of “fast.” The interview just went live today on Channel 9. Here’s [...]
C++ and Beyond 2012: Aug 5-8, Asheville, NC, USA

February and March have been killer busy, so that I forgot to repeat an important announcement here: registration is open for C++ and Beyond 2012! I’m looking forward to teaching for three days again with Scott Meyers and Andrei Alexandrescu at one of the top C++ conference highlights of the year. This year, C&B will [...]

Thanks to Perceptive Software who are bringing me to Kansas City in two weeks to give a free talk on “Welcome to the Jungle.” The talk will be based on my recent essay of the same name (sequel to ”The Free Lunch Is Over”) concerning the turn to mainstream heterogeneous distributed computing and the end [...]
My two //build/ talks online
Posted in C++, Microsoft, Software Development, Talks & Events on 2011-09-19 | 13 Comments »
My two talks from last week’s //build/ conference are online. My personal favorite is Writing Modern C++ Code: How C++ Has Evolved Over the Years. The thesis is simple: Modern ISO Standard C++ code is clean, safe, and fast. C++ has got a bad rap over the years, partly earned, but that’s history. This talk [...]
C9 interview with Scott Meyers, Andrei Alexandrescu, and me
Posted in C++, Talks & Events on 2011-08-24 |
After the end of the C++ and Beyond event earlier this month, Charles Torre interviewed all three of us for Channel 9. I thought it came out really well, and stayed firmly focused on C++ — including even during the parts we talked about D and other languages, where the focus was on how their best parts could be applied to [...]
