With developers reaching the limits for what Object-Oriented programming can do, they are looking for a new programming paradigm to lead to cleaner, more elegant solutions. Functional Programming has been around since the 1930s but has never been …

What is a memory model and why does C++ need it so badly? I’ll try to explain both the practical and the theoretical side of things. We’ll look into a few simple multithreaded idioms, sketch the …
Functions often depend on particular behavioral characteristics (“features”) of code they invoke. For example, thread-safe code must invoke only thread-safe code if it is to remain thread-safe, and exception-safe code must invoke only exception-safe code. This talk describes …
The Logic paradigm (LP) is a powerful, Turing-complete programming paradigm that has seen little representation in mainstream languages as compared to the Object-Oriented, Imperative and Functional paradigms. LP is an important approach in Computer Science towards what is …
shared_ptr is the most powerful addition to the Standard C++ Library since the STL itself. This presentation begins with an overview of shared_ptr’s design and the philosophy behind it. Next, important uses of shared_ptr are explained in …
Memory allocation is a problem so wicked, many people think it’s either solved or unsolvable. This talk goes through the gory details of memory allocation; what the classic designs are; how special handcrafted allocators may improve (or …
There runs a heated debate about how to build application architectures. Many practitioners believe you must design up front, others feel that doing so leads …
Designing your own programming language is fun! It can also increase the expressiveness of your code. But did you know that you can host your little languages right in C++? Libraries like Boost.Spirit and the Lambda Library …
