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 | Comments Off
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 [...]

I just posted two more sessions I’ll be giving next month at C++ and Beyond. (Aside: If you’re interested in coming, register soon; there are now only 11 seats left.) “C++ Renaissance.” I’ve been asked to give the opening “Welcome, Everyone!” keynote talk at C&B 2011, and it’s time to cover an increasingly open secret: After [...]

In my keynote on Wednesday, I highlighted just the top two important features in the C++ AMP programming model. That afternoon, my coding colleague and demo demigod Daniel Moth gave a 45-minute session covering the entire C++ AMP programming model that walked through all the features with more examples. Daniel’s talk is now also online [...]

My lambdas talk @NWCPP is now online

Lloyd Moore of NWCPP did record some video and post slides of my C++ lambdas talk two days ago. The video and slides (PDF) are now online. You can see Lloyd’s friendly smile in the foreground of the final frame. The room lighting and layout weren’t great for video recording, but the audio is quite clear and you can [...]
Post your questions for a followup C9 interview

The last Channel 9 video interview seems to have been well-received, and some people suggested Charles should have asked about additional topics. So here’s my idea: Let’s do another C9 interview, this time with your questions — hard or soft, big or small, just not too bizarre or personal please. :) Here’s how I’ll try [...]
