A Brief History of Bjarne Stroustrup, the Creator of C++ -- CultRepo

By Blog Staff | Mar 25, 2026 12:06 PM | Tags: None

In this portrait, we meet Bjarne Stroustrup where we talk about his childhood, his accidental entry into computer science (what is "datologi" anyway?), and the ideas that shaped one of the most influential programming languages ever made -- among many, many other things... like how pronouncing his last name involves a potato.

The Laso scholarship will be provided to students of Spanish public universities in any degree of CS, Engineering or similar. The scholarship will cover the costs of one year tuition.

Learn about generic programming and concepts, views & ranges with Nicolai Josuttis

By Meeting C++ | May 15, 2025 04:21 AM | Tags: training meetingcpp c++20

Meeting C++ is hosting two trainings on the 26th and 27th May with Nicolai Josuttis:

May 26th: Generic programming in C++ with templates and auto

Generic code is key for the success of C++. Almost all parts of the C++ standard library are implemented as templates and with auto. However, the uncertainty when seeing this code and when writing own code is high.

This online training will guide you through the most important elements of generic programming for ordinary application programmers. Based on the general approach for function templates and class templates we cover the more tricky topics like non-type template parameters, variadic templates and fold expressions, class template argument deduction, type traits, and SFINAE.

This can be used as perfect base for the training about C++20/C++23 concepts, which are covered in a training the day after.

 

May 27th: Concepts, Ranges, and Views - The New Way of Programming in C++

Concepts, ranges, and views, introduced with C++20 and extended with C++23, introduce a new way of programming with C++:

    Concepts establish a way to deal with requirements and constraints to simplify overloading and improve error messages of generic code. This sounds simple but changes the way we write code significantly.

    Ranges and views establish a new way to deal with collections and containers. Instead of using begin() and end(), we deal with the collections as a whole. This establishes new ways of data processing (such as defining pipelines) but also introduces new pitfalls and caveats.

Both features were designed together so that they benefit from each other:

    Ranges and views are implemented using concepts to behave well and help with their usage.

    As a consequence, standard concepts were designed according to a real non-trivial application of using them.

This full day tutorial guides you though these new features. The features are motivated and explained so that you understand purpose and design as well as how to use them in practice. This also implies to talk about the most important pitfalls (there are several) so that you avoid wasting time or getting even frustrated by unexpected behavior or strange errors.

 

You also can get both as two in one package.

About the training

I'm thrilled to let you know that I'll give the workshop "Safe and Efficient C++ for Embedded Environments".

The workshop will take place on Friday, May 30th, 2025, 10:00 - 18:00 Berlin time. It is a remote workshop, so we can join from everywhere.

The course is specifically for people in the embedded domain. You'll learn about various features of modern C++, as you can see in the outline below:

• Language features in C++
  • References
  • nullptr
  • Explicit data type conversion
  • Uniform initialization
  • Digit separator
  • auto type deduction
  • range-based for loops
  • Strongly typed enum
  • static or inline
  • Attributes
• ROM-ability
• Living without the heap
• Dynamic memory management
• alignas & alignof
• Placement-new
• Implementing a pool allocator
• std::launder
• std::unique_ptr
• std::start_life_time_as

C++ on Sea 2025 Full Schedule, including workshops

By Phil Nash | May 9, 2025 08:35 AM | Tags: None

C++ on Sea 2025 runs from 23rd-25th June, with workshops on 26th-27th.

The full 2025 schedule is now available

by C++ on Sea

From the article:

This year we are, once again, running 2-day workshops - but they will be after the main conference, at the end of the week. As usual we have a great range of timely topics from world-class instructors to help you keep ahead.

We'll kick off with [a keynote from] Herb Sutter... regroup in the middle with Timur Doumler... then round out with Kristen Shaker.

Lightning talks... conference dinner... and a C++ quiz night.

The first Meeting C++ trainings in 2025

By Meeting C++ | Feb 18, 2025 03:23 AM | Tags: training meetingcpp community

With the success of the trainings after Meeting C++ 2024, I've decided to offer more opportunities for you to learn C++. Klaus Iglberger starts next week with C++ Software Design.

With these trainings following in March:

    Generic programming in C++ with templates and auto with Nicolai Josuttis (10th March, 1 day)
    Embedded C++ Basic Training with Richard Kaiser (10th March, 4 days)
    C++ Fundamentals You Wish You Had Known Earlier with Mateusz Pusz (13th March, 2 days)
    Concepts, Ranges, and Views - The New Way of Programming in C++ with Nicolai Josuttis (17th March, 1 day)
    Introduction to C++ - Five Day Online Training with Slobodan Dmitrovic (24th March, 5 days)
    Structured Concurrency in C++: A Hands-On Workshop (Coroutines + Senders/Receivers) with Mateusz Pusz (24th March, 2 days)

My goal is to offer a good set of trainings within a certain time frame each quarter with changing trainers. Ideally all within one week, but that doesn't match out all the time.

Learn Modern C++ at Meeting C++ 2024!

A post highlighting some of the talks that let you learn about Modern C++ at Meeting C++ 2024

Learn Modern C++ at Meeting C++ 2024

by Jens Weller

From the article:

I think this is what should you get excited the most, C++20 is making its way through the compiler implementations and you actually can apply this to your own code base. The top voted talk this year reflects this, in C++ Modules - getting started today Andreas Weis will show you how Modules are now available with the big 3 compilers.

Trainings at Meeting C++

After Meeting C++ 2024 there is a trainings week in the last week of November, you an choose between trainings from Kevlin Henney, Slobodan Dimtrovic and Nicolai Josuttis:

    Programming with Guts by Kevlin Henney
    C++ for C Developers - Migrating from C to C++ by Slobodan Dimtrovic
    Generic programming in C++ with templates and auto by Nico Josuttis
    Concepts, Ranges, and Views - The New Way of Programming in C++ by Nico Josuttis

Adding trainings to Meeting C++ 2024

By Meeting C++ | Sep 17, 2024 09:25 AM | Tags: training meetingcpp community c++20

Meeting C++ now offers 4 trainings that align with Meeting C++ 2024, and will be held in the last week of November.

Adding C++ trainings to Meeting Cpp 2024

by Jens Weller

From the article:

Trainings listing

    C++ for C Developers - Migrating from C to C++ - a two day training by Slobodan Dmitrovic starting November 25th
    Program with GUTs - a half day training by Kevlin Henney on November 25th
    Generic programming in C++ with templates and auto - full day training by Nicolai Josuttis on November 28th
    Concepts, Ranges, and Views - The New Way of Programming in C++ - full day training by Nicolai Josuttis on November 29th

These 4 trainings focus on various important current aspects of C++. From the migration to C++ from C, which is also a great course if you migrate to Modern C++ from "C with classes" like code. Or a refresher on unit testing by Kevlin Henney himself. Nicolai Josuttis gives a two day training, which is also available as single days: on the first day generic programming with templates and auto is bringing you a referesher, while focusing on C++20 Concepts, Ranges and Views on the next day. I've made the decision that prices for trainings are now fixed, half/full day trainings are 499 € and two day trainings are 999 €, this already includes taxes and all fees from the ticketshop. Attending the trainings will let you learn great new ways to think about your code and it gives support Meeting C++!
