CppCon Academy

Call for Proposals for CppCon Academy 2025 Classes https://lnkd.in/g9gAY4kA CppCon Academy is asking for instructors to submit proposals for pre- and post-conference classes and/or workshops to be taught in conjunction with this fall’s CppCon, The C++ Conference 2025. The Academy is interested in proposals for either onsite classes or online classes. If you are interested in teaching a class or workshop, please review the instructors’ prospectus. The deadline for submitting proposals is January 31, 2025.

This looks like a really cool class, doesn't it? :)

CppCon Academy 2024, Pre- & Post- Conference, some onsite, some online. CppCon, The C++ Conference 2024, Sept 15th-20th, Aurora, Colorado, USA Kevin Carpenter interviews Klaus Iglberger about his CppCon Workshop class and other CppCon topics. youtu.be/En0cyALlVN0 Class Info: https://lnkd.in/giPDmukW C++ Software Design is a two-day onsite training course with programming examples, taught by Klaus Iglberger. It is offered at the Gaylord Rockies from 09:00 to 17:00 Aurora time (MDT) on Saturday and Sunday, September 14th and 15th, 2024 (immediately prior to the conference). Lunch is included. Course Description “The design plays a much more central role in the success of a project than any feature could ever do. Good software is not primarily about the proper use of any feature; rather, it is about solid architecture and design. Good software design can tolerate some bad implementation decisions, but bad software design cannot be saved by the heroic use of features (old or new) alone.” (Klaus Iglberger, C++ Software Design) Good Software Design — the proper management of dependencies — is the foundation for the success of a project. The basic building blocks for software design are design patterns. Design patterns have proven themselves invaluable over several decades and thus knowledge about them is essential to design robust, decoupled systems. Modern C++, however, has profoundly changed the way we use C++, how we think about design and implement solutions. This also affects how we implement design patterns.

The number of attendees for classes/workshops is down at most major C++ conferences - in particular CppCon. There may be several reasons, but my guess is that a major reason is to save money. If this is the reason for this year's low number of registrations for classes at CppCon, then this is completely counterintuitive: good code helps to save money, bad code wastes money. So investing in better code is saving money. And there is no more effective investment than to learn from some of the world's top experts directly. Why then would you miss such a marvellous opportunity? If you go to CppCon and haven't registered for a class, then take a look at the list of available classes to see your amazing options:

CppCon Academy 2024, Pre- & Post- Conference, some onsite, some online. CppCon, The C++ Conference 2024, Sept 15th-20th, Aurora, Colorado, USA Kevin Carpenter interviews Mateusz Pusz about his CppCon Workshop class and other CppCon topics. youtu.be/BzaXRdkY26M Class Info: https://lnkd.in/dKd3DMdn Structured Concurrency in C++ is a two-day onsite training course with programming examples, taught by Mateusz Pusz. It is offered at the Gaylord Rockies from 09:00 to 17:00 Aurora time (MDT) on Saturday and Sunday, September 14th and 15th, 2024 (immediately prior to the conference). Lunch is included. Course Description Today, C++ software is increasingly asynchronous and parallel, a trend that is likely only to continue going forward. While the C++ Standard Library has a rich set of concurrency primitives and lower-level building blocks, we lack a standard framework for asynchrony and parallelism that C++ programmers desperately need. Asynchrony and parallelism appear everywhere, from processor hardware interfaces to networking, to file I/O, to GUIs, to accelerators. Every C++ domain and every platform needs to deal with asynchrony and parallelism, from scientific computing to video games to financial services, from the smallest mobile devices to your laptop to GPUs in the world’s fastest supercomputer.

You care about efficient C++? Then my "Modern C++: When Efficiency Matters" class is great for you! Come and join me for a 2-day post-conference workshop at @CppCon. https://bit.ly/3WZrklQ #workshop #cpp17 #cppcon

CppCon Academy 2024, Pre- & Post- Conference, some onsite, some online. CppCon, The C++ Conference 2024, Sept 15th-20th, Aurora, Colorado, USA Kevin Carpenter interviews Patrice Roy about his CppCon Workshop class and other CppCon topics. youtu.be/uvinmdlxNb8 Class Info: https://lnkd.in/gdZDeUXN Optimizing with Modern C++ is a two-day onsite training course with programming examples, taught by Patrice Roy. It is offered at the Gaylord Rockies from 09:00 to 17:00 Aurora time (MDT) on Saturday and Sunday, September 14th and 15th, 2024 (immediately prior to the conference). Lunch is included. Course Description C++ is seen by many as a language one uses to get more from a program: more speed, more deterministic behavior, lower resource consumption, etc. Interestingly, C++ does not necessarily make programs faster or smaller; what C++ brings to programmers is control, and that control can lead to all sorts of optimizations. Optimization is a vast and multifaceted topic no-one could hope cover completely in the span of a 15-hours course. For this reason, this course focuses on how to leverage “modern” C++ (C++ as we’ve come to know and love it since the C++11 revolution came upon us all) to make programs faster, smaller and otherwise more efficient. This course will bring participants to: o Identify those locations in a program that could benefit from optimizations, including gathering information from profiling tools o Perform fecund optimizations of a function or of the entire program: reducing memory consumption, increase average execution speed, reducing latency on some key operations, increasing compilation speed, etc. This will include a look at programming practices that make code better even though they are not optimizations per se o Benefit from compiler flags to add to the optimizations resulting from our efforts on the source code itself CppCon Academy classes: https://lnkd.in/gtjcT4rV cppcon2024.sched.com cppcon.org/registration cppcon.org/lodging #Cpp #CPlusPlus #CppCon

Kevin interviews with Phil Nash about his plans for CppCon and CppCon Academy.

Got a chance to interview with Phil Nash about his plans for CppCon! He is scheduled to give a his excellent TDD class. Check out the video to learn more! https://lnkd.in/gSnMRuem

CppCon Academy 2024, Pre- & Post- Conference, some onsite, some online. CppCon, The C++ Conference 2024, Sept 15th-20th, Aurora, Colorado, USA Kevin Carpenter interviews Phil Nash about his CppCon Workshop class and other CppCon topics. youtu.be/M4C7jkEW0f0 "Accelerated TDD: For More Productive C++" is a two-day onsite training course with programming exercises, taught by Phil Nash. It is offered at the Gaylord Rockies from 09:00 to 17:00 Aurora time (MDT) on Saturday and Sunday, September 14th and 15th, 2024 (immediately prior to the conference). Lunch is included. Course Description We all know that writing tests for our code is “what we should do”, and maybe we’re even doing that already. But it feels like extra busy-work that slows us down – and they hardly ever catch any bugs anyway… Maybe we’ve even tried TDD, and felt that it was just adding even more ceremony to the problem with no real advantages. But the advantages are definitely there! We just need a good grounding in what TDD _actually_ is (and isn’t) and how to do it properly – especially in the context of C++, which brings its own idiosyncrasies and bottlenecks to the matter. That’s what this workshop aims to be. Whether you’ve never written a test before, or you’ve had some mileage with TDD already, be prepared to ratchet up your productivity by thinking about things in new ways and gaining more approaches to breaking down problems in sustainable ways. https://lnkd.in/gqP6YaFM cppcon2024.sched.com cppcon.org/registration cppcon.org/lodging   #Cpp #CPlusPlus #CppCon"
