NDC TechTown in Konsgberg, Norway 2024
September 11, 2024
In early September, we’ll be attending NDC TechTown for the second year in a row. NDC TechTown is a C, C++, Embedded Software Conference for Product Development set in the idyllic countryside town of Kongsberg, Norway.
Our CTO and founder Arno Schoedl will be presenting his talk “Why Iterators Got It All Wrong — and what we should use instead”. The audience will learn that the iterator concept in the C++ standard library is a flawed concept. It really represents two very different things that we should distinguish: Elements and borders between elements. With the new C++ transform, filter and reverse ranges, this distinction is important in practice. Arno will be speaking in Room 3 on Thursday the 12th of September at 13:40.
Jonathan Müller, Software Engineer, is back this year with his talk “An (In-)Complete Guide to C++ Object Lifetimes”. In this talk the audience will learn about the rules for object creation and destruction, and when it is safe to form pointers and references to object. They will also learn about advanced functions like std::launder, std::bit_cast, and std::start_lifetime_as. You can hear the talk on Thursday the 12th of September first thing in the morning at 9:00 in Room 3.
We are looking forward to hearing the talks and learning more about these topics!
