What does a 15 years old girl think about learning C++?

Summary of the talk:

How it feels like to learn C++ as a teenager? What made her want to learn it and what difficulties did she come across while learning it?

 

Announcing Meeting C++ 2026

By Meeting C++ | Mar 25, 2026 10:01 AM | Tags: meetingcpp community c++26 c++20

This years Meeting C++ conference is special, as its the 15th conference in total that Meeting C++ has organized, and its also the 5th time the event is hybrid!

Announcing Meeting C++ 2026

by Jens Weller

From the article:

We'll be meeting from the 26th - 28th November in Berlin! You have the unique chance to spend the 1st advent in Berlin with C++ and Christmas Markets open!

With Mateusz Pusz and Kate Gregory I've chosen two well known speakers for the keynotes this year. Mateusz is well known for his units library, which currently also is proposed for the standard. It is also an important contribution to making C++ more safe and secure, the big topic of last year. Then Kate Gregory will be visiting us in Berlin again, she is known for her ability to create great talks around technical and social aspects in our daily lives as devs. You might remember her from giving a keynote in 2017, or speaking about the aging programmer two years ago.

For the 15th time Meeting C++ will organize a great event for 3 days filled with lots of content about C++, like last year the plan is to host 3 tracks in parallel in Berlin, with an optional 4th track. The 4th track will be unlocked either by sponsorships or ticket sales. You can be a part of this great C++ event by attending onsite and online. There is already great news for onsite attendees: Hudson River Trading is again this years t-shirt sponsor, a great and unique Meeting C++ 2026 t-shirt is an exclusive perk for onsite attendees!

Meeting C++ 24h++ is next week!

From the page:

Meeting C++ 24h++ starts at the 18. December 2025.

Meeting C++ hosts an 24h++ online event with a mix of live content and prerecorded talks from Meeting C++ 2025. With the 24h+ of the event, you should be able to attend some of the talks during the event plus you get access to all talks in the event to view after the event!

 

Trip report: Meeting C++ 2025 -- Sandor Dargo

cippi-me-meeting-cpp2025.JPGWhat a year I had! One more conference, one more trip report! I had the chance to go to Meeting C++ and give not just one but two talks!

Trip report: Meeting C++ 2025

by Sandor Dargo

From the article:

I remember that last year I said that Berlin in November is the perfect place to have a conference because you want to be inside that four-star hotel and not outside. This year, the conference was held a week earlier, and the weather was so nice that it was actually tempting to go out and explore.

But people resisted the temptation. The lineup and content were very strong — this year there were more than 50 talks across 5 different tracks. Also, Meeting C++ is a fully hybrid conference, so you can join any talk online as well.

It might sound funny, but I must mention that the food is just great at Meeting C++. It’s probably the conference with the best catering I’ve ever been to — from lunch to coffee breaks, everything was top-notch.

This year, there were no evening programs. I’m not complaining; it’s both a pity and a blessing, and I’m not sure how I feel about it. For example, when I first attended C++ On Sea, there were no evening events, and I really enjoyed discovering Folkestone in the evenings. Over the years, the schedule there got extended, and sometimes I had no time to visit my favorite places. But at least some socializing was guaranteed. One can say that you can do it on your own, but many of us are introverted, and if we’re not forced to socialize, we just won’t. That’s even easier to avoid in a big city like Berlin. I remember that last year I didn’t have time to go out until the end of the conference. It was different this year.

But let’s talk about the talks.

My three favourite talks

Let me share with you the three talks I liked the most. They are listed in chronological order...

 

Trip report: Budapest C++ - Breaking & Building C++ -- Sandor Dargo

By Blog Staff | Dec 3, 2025 03:30 PM | Tags: None

c++meetup_1022.jpegThe Budapest C++ Meetup was a great reminder of how strong and curious our local community is. Each talk approached the language from a different angle — Jonathan Müller from the perspective of performance, mine from design and type safety, and Marcell Juhász from security — yet all shared the same core message: understand what C++ gives you and use it wisely.

Trip report: Budapest C++ - Breaking & Building C++

by Sandor Dargo

From the article:

More than a hundred people registered, and the room quickly filled up with local developers eager to hear three technical talks. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming — it showed the strength of the C++ community in Budapest. In 2027, even WG21 might come to Hungary!

The evening began with Jonathan Müller’s talk, Cache-Friendly C++, followed by my own session on Strongly Typed Containers. Finally, Marcell Juhász closed the event with an insightful and hands-on presentation on Hacking and Securing C++.

How to Iterate through std::tuple: C++26 Packs and Expansion Statements -- Bartlomiej Filipek

By Blog Staff | Nov 25, 2025 02:54 PM | Tags: None

filipek-howtoiterate.pngIn this final part of the tuple-iteration mini-series, we move beyond C++20 and C++23 techniques to explore how C++26 finally brings first-class language support for compile-time iteration. With structured binding packs (P1061) and expansion statements (P1306), what once required clever template tricks can now be written in clean, expressive, modern C++.

C++ Templates: How to Iterate through std::tuple: C++26 Packs and Expansion Statements

by Bartlomiej Filipek

From the article:

In part 1 of this mini-series, we looked at the basics of iterating over a std::tuple using index_sequence and fold expressions. In part 2, we simplified things with std::apply and even created helpers like for_each_tuple and transform_tuple.

So far, we used C++ features up to C++20/23… but now, in C++26, we finally get language-level tools that make tuple iteration straightforward and expressive. In this article, we’ll explore two new techniques:

  • Structured bindings can introduce a pack - P1061 - turn a tuple into a pack of variables.
  • Expansion statements P1306 - the ultimate “compile-time loop” syntax.

 

Celebrating C++’s 40th birthday at C++ Day in Italy

By Marco Arena | Oct 27, 2025 06:42 AM | Tags: community

This year marks C++'s 40th anniversary, and at C++ Day 2025 (a proper "wrap-up post" will follow in the next days) we couldn't let the occasion pass without a little celebration!

While there wasn't a cake, we gathered everyone to sing "Happy Birthday, C++":

 

 

Followed by a lively game that mixed 1980s pop culture, ISO C++ trivia, Bell Labs history, and more:

 

  

Over 160 people joined the event, with about 120 staying until the end to play and win some unique prizes: 1980s-style posters featuring movie quotes reimagined with a C++ twist:

 

And we had a winner!

 

 

Also we ran a raffle including all quiz participants:

 

 

The posters also decorated the venue all day long, giving it a warm, retro, and festive feel:

 

 

It was a small but heartfelt way to celebrate four decades of a language that continues to inspire and evolve.

 

Here's to the next 40 years of C++!

by Jens Weller

from the article:

I am excited to announce that with the recent changes to the schedule, Meeting C++ 2025 has now 5 tracks: 4 onsite and 1 online track. This new track is possible thanks to better funding from sponsors and exhibitors enabling even more C++ content at Meeting C++ in Berlin.
