C++ can be easy, elegant, and powerful. We achieve obvious and robust code by leveraging static typing, lexical scoping, and destructors. By understanding simple patterns for object lifecycle, and employing only a few basic practices, we build performant and scalable systems that we control, understand, and can enhance.
This session is for those new to C++ (perhaps with experience in other languages), or for experienced C++ developers interested in clear articulation for “Why C++?” in discussion with colleagues using other languages. The conclusion quite clearly demonstrates through Computer Science Best Practice that easier reasoning and better scaling is achieved through core C++ language design choices. Topics include: Value and reference semantics, the type system, lexical and dynamic scoping, programming paradigms, and general purpose versus special-purpose languages.
