Next BeCPP UG Meeting Planned For December 17th, 2014

December 1, 2014 Marc Gregoire Events

The next meeting of the Belgian C++ Users Group is planned for Wednesday December 17th, 2014 at 18:00 at TOMRA.

TOMRA ( http://www.tomra.com/ ) is sponsoring this event by providing the location, drinks and catering

The agenda is as follows:

• 18:00: Sandwiches.
• 18:30: Session 1: What’s new in VC++2015? (Marc Gregoire) An overview of new features and functionality in Microsoft Visual C++ 2015.
• 19:30: Break
• 19:45: Session 2: Move semantics && rvalue references, part 1 (Bert Rodiers) In this presentation we will be going deeper into move semantics and rvalue references. A large part of the presentation will talk about how to enable move support, discuss under which conditions it is applied and will point-out some potential pitfalls. We will also discuss Lambda generalized capture, which can be used to capture variables in a lambda expression using move semantics.
• 20:45: Presentation and/or guided tour of the TOMRA facilities for interested people followed by a drink.

The event is free for everyone, but you need to register for it.

There are 50 seats available for this event.

Note: The deadline for registrations is December 15th, 2014!

Next BeCPP UG Meeting Planned For May 8th, 2014

March 25, 2014 Marc Gregoire Events

The next meeting of the Belgian C++ Users Group is planned for Thursday May 8th, 2014 at 18:00 at Materialise HQ.

Materialise ( http://materialise.be/ ) is sponsoring this event by providing the location, drinks and catering

We will have an international speaker for this event: Artur Laksberg.

• Artur Laksberg leads the Visual C++ Libraries development team at Microsoft, responsible for the STL, CRT, C++ AMP, PPL, Casablanca and other libraries. His interests include concurrency, programming language and library design, and modern C++. Artur is one of the co-authors of the ISO C++ proposal on Parallelism (aka Parallel STL) as well as the Concurrency Technical Specification.

If you ever wanted to ask a question to a member of the Visual C++ product team, now is your chance.

The agenda is as follows:

• 18:00: Sandwiches.
• 18:30: Session 1: Parallelism in the Standard C++: What to Expect in C++ 17 (Artur Laksberg) It is 2014 and parallel programming has entered the mainstream. No longer is it the domain of the few highly trained experts. The tools available in the C++ today make parallelism accessible – if not yet easy – to average developers. However, writing efficient cross-platform parallel code in C++ is still hard. The standard constructs available in C++ 11/14 are too basic and too low-level. More advanced tools exist, but most are either vendor-specific or don’t work on all platforms. In this presentation, we’ll talk about the joint effort spearheaded by several members of the ISO C++ Committee to bring parallelism into the C++ Standard Template Library. The project known as the “Parallel STL” aims to bring muliticore and SIMD parallelism into the next revision of the ISO C++ Standard.
• 19:30: Break
• 19:45: Session 2: Asynchronous programming with futures and await (Artur Laksberg) We have to write asynchronous code for a number of reasons, such as making our GUI apps more responsive, or our server code more scalable. Dealing with asynchrony is hard, perhaps harder than parallelism, and doing it in C++ in a portable way is even harder. If you are familiar with the “callback soup”, “control flow inversion” and other such phenomena, you’ve experienced the pain of asynchrony. In this presentation, we’ll look at the state of the art of asynchrony in C++, discuss futures and continuations, await and resumable functions, and how these concepts are making their way to Standard C++.
• 20:45: Guided tour of the Materialise facilities for interested people followed by a drink.

The event is free for everyone, but you need to register for it.

There are 100 seats available for this event.

Note: The deadline for registrations is April 23rd, 2014!

Announcing Meeting C++ 2014

February 20, 2014 Marc Gregoire Events

The Meeting C++ 2014 conference has been announced. After last years great success, we will meet again for 2 days full of C++ in Germany this Fall: Meeting C++ 2014 will be at the 1st weekend of December (5./6.12.2014). This year the conference will move to Berlin!

Like last year, this event is organized independently, covering most its costs over the ticket sales. There will be again 3 Tracks about C++ this year, with the 3rd track being a theme track about “Scientific Programming in C++”. The other two tracks will offer general C++ talks like last year.

Read the official announcement here.
Call for papers.
