Learn C++ With Monoids, Monads, and Applicative Functors: Repeated Software Patterns (CPPCon 2020) Video
May 6, 2021
This video explores the abstract mathematical structures that are commonly used in software development. It becomes easy to identify fundamental operations for specific classes of domains and how to put them together once the mind is trained to recognize these patterns. This…
Learn C++ With The Shapes of Multi-Dimensional Arrays by Vincent Reverdy (CPPCon 2020) Video
May 2, 2021
This video will be concentrating on one of the many issues involved: How to manage the shapes and dimensions of high-performance multidimensional arrays. In order to prevent metaprogramming wizards from having a full unusable response, we will add one requirement: it must be…
The most detailed rationale for programs is performed locally: considering the proximity of a program – usually a single function and the interfaces around it – and the reason for its action without reference to the rest of the program. This justification serves…
Learn C++ With Making Games Start Fast: A Story About Concurrency by Mathieu Ruport (CPPCon 2020) Video
April 26, 2021
Games taking too long to get started is a common criticism in game development. Players dislike it and developers spend a long time watching screen loading. The audience will be shown how Intel vTune can be used to profile threading problems, how “thread safe” APIs can be deceptive, and how re-architecting code in lock-free mode can significantly boost throughput. The video will also…
An important feature in C++11, from the library’s perspective, are smart pointers. Smart pointers are more than smart designed pointers. Smart pointer models are semantic. Understanding the semantic ownership of smart pointers is the key focus of this video and your…
Learn C++ With Modern C++ Safety and Security At 20 by Matthew Butler (CPPCon 2020) Video
April 18, 2021
With the features and language improvements aim to be more comprehensive than even C++11, the C++20 standard is now complete. Engineers employed in safety critical systems, protection or even applications that are exploited by customers every day have special language needs.
One of the many powerful improvements of C++11 is Move Semantics. It addresses a variety of programming problems that have been vexed by C++ developers for years. However, moving semantics can be easily misused, and the nuances are often difficult to get correct. This presentation will benefit both those who are still learning how to write a strong robust C++ code and those who already know all…
