Comment Feed for Channel 9 - Herb Sutter: Visual C++ for Windows 8 http://files.channel9.msdn.com/thumbnail/1bce6d6d-7282-4429-ad93-46f491a728e4.jpg Channel 9 - Herb Sutter: Visual C++ for Windows 8 Want to know how to write cool tablet apps using Visual C++? To kick off our day of Metro style programming in VC++, this talk will begin with an overview of how the WinRT type system is projected in Visual C++, then delve into how easy it is to use fast and portable C++, UIs built using XAML or DirectX or both, and powerful parallel computation from std::async and PPL to automatic vectorization and C++ AMP to harness powerful mobile GPUs... and use any or all of those tools together easily in any combination within the same Visual C++ application, delivering beautiful and responsive results on today's mainstream mobile hardware. en Wed, 19 Jun 2013 15:40:09 GMT Wed, 19 Jun 2013 15:40:09 GMT Rev9 Re: Herb Sutter: Visual C++ for Windows 8 posted by Sean

It's great to see MS re-discovering C++ again, makes me much happier about the platform. Looking forward to getting my paws on some cheap WOA hardware to try this out on.

I think Charles takes secret pleasure in watching us squirm Tongue Out.

I just tried Windows 8 in a virtual machine. Sorry, but this Metro UI is just unusable.

Want to block on the main thread for 1ms as part of timesliced logic? Again MS don't trust you to be a good enough programmer... there are exceptions thrown if you stall the main thread using ppl.

I wouldn't mind if this stuff was better implemented and solved problems I actually have... I get that most programmers are too inept to manage their own memory and struggle with threading, but frankly, I'm not.

Not to mention the limitations on using DirectX with XAML and the blatant unfinished-ness of the platform at large...

Somehow I don't believe you after everything I've seen in the code auditing business.

Thanks to the organizers for putting this together.

Disappointed to hear today that MS is blocking the C++11 compiler in VS 11 Express from targeting desktop applications. How can MS supposedly support OSS so strongly with Codeplex, ASP.NET, etc, and then turn around and do this?

If you watch - and listen - to the presentations here it should be abundantly clear that C++ is an excellent language to use for building high performance (employing GPGPU programming techniques via C++ AMP and/or CPU-based async/parallelism using PPL), power efficient, powerful Windows 8 Metro style apps, games and cross language consumable WinRT components...

You get to use C++ + XAML + DirectX to push the limits of user experience. You can  - if you want or need to - program directly at the ABI (just like WinRT itself...) using an ATL-like library (WRL).

This is the wrong thread for the Express 11 debate. This thread - this event - is about C++ (including Windows platform-specific extensions) applied to Metro application, game and component development.
