Title: Where is C++ headed?
Proposer: Hubert Matthews
Type: Presentation
Duration: 90 mins
Description:
How is C++ is different to other languages and how does that affect the way we write and think about programs? C++11 adds a host of new language ideas that build on these differences and C++14 extends things yet further. Key questions to explore are: how do these new features change how we think about C++? What standard design idioms and techniques should we consider changing and what new ones should we explore? How can we take advantage of the new without abandoning the old? As C++ enters a new era and enjoys a new burst of energy, this talk seeks to explore how we will live and learn in this exciting new world.
