Calling all C++ developers in Tokyo (and beyond)! Join us for a meetup where we’ll dive into the critical and challenging topic of abstractions for low-level programming — alongside seasoned C++ experts like Jason Turner. As software grows more complex, developers must shift from an intimate awareness of “how” the computer executes code to “what” the program is meant to do, trusting the compiler to get that “how” right! However, there are plenty of pitfalls. Novice developers often run into inefficiencies or unexpected behavior when they rely too heavily on abstractions without understanding the underlying mechanics. To help us navigate this balancing act, our expert panel will share real-world strategies for writing powerful, efficient, and correct software. What to Expect: 🎤  Engaging discussions with experienced C++ professionals 💡 Key insights into writing high-level code that’s still mindful of low-level details ⚡ Practical tips to avoid common performance traps Event Details: 📅 When: February 20, 2025, 6:30-8:30 pm (JST) 📝 Format: Panel discussion followed by networking 📍 Location: Woven by Toyota Nihonbashi office 👋 RSVP by February 13th at 12 pm! https://lnkd.in/dAuSAZ4u Whether you’re a Tokyo-based developer, new to Japan, or just visiting, we welcome you to join the conversation — and the community! #CPlusPlus #Tokyo #TechMeetup #Programming #WovenbyToyota
