In the third installment of “from the archive,” this panel discussion held by Herb, Andrei, and Scott focused on concurrency and parallelism.  Enjoy!

In this next installment of “from the archive,” this is a C++ and Beyond 2011 panel discussion among Scott, Herb, and Andrei talking about C++11.

Last year, we were very lucky to have Charles Torre from Microsoft’s Channel 9 attend our C++ and Beyond conference and record the talks and discussion panels. I thought that since we have so many new followers and first-time attendees, it would be fun to share a few of the videos as they are great examples of what you can expect from attending C++ and Beyond (coming August 5 in Asheville, NC).

Stay tuned! Over the next week and a half, I’ll be posting videos from the archives…

In this first video, Herb Sutter answers the question “Why C++?” He shares his perspectives on C++11 and the C++ Renaissance as well as why C++ still matters and will continue to matter far into the future. It’s a keynote-y talk, not a technical talk, but we felt it was important to address an important trend involving the language.

Enjoy!

Channel 9 has just posted a recording of my opening talk to kick off C++ and Beyond 2011 last month in Banff. Here’s the link: C++ and Beyond 2011: Why C++.

It’s a keynote-y talk, not a technical talk, but we felt it was important to address an important trend involving the language. The goal is to share a perspective and rationale for why of late there’s such a resurgence of interest in C++ — both across the industry, and within Microsoft.

I hope you enjoy it!

While attending C++ and Beyond 2011, Microsoft’s Channel 9′s Charles Torre was able to convince a few fellow attendees to get in front of the camera and talk about C++, how they use the language, and what they think of C++11 and C++ and Beyond.

Here are the first two interviews:

Sean Gibb, Director of Software at Rad3 Communications
Benedict Gaster, a software architect designing programming models for heterogeneous computing and well-known for his contributions to OpenCL

Enjoy!
