In part 2, STL will teach us all about Template Argument Deduction. Template arguments are deduced when a call is made to a template function, but some or all template arguments are omitted. The compiler will attempt to deduce the intended template arguments. In most cases, this works as expected.…

Hi, I am Daniel Moth This screencast assumes knowledge of the C++ AMP API, e.g. that you totally understand the matrix multiplication implementation in C++ AMP. So if you satisfy that prerequisite, watch this screencast on what features are available in Visual Studio 2012…

Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1 introduces a number of exciting new features for the C++ developer as we include a selection of goodies from the upcoming C++0x Standard. We have already heard about many of the language improvements (auto, decltype, lambdas, rvalue references, …)…

This is the C++/CX episode - everything you ever wanted to know, but were afraid to ask... C++/CX language design team member Marian Luparu sits in the hot seat to answer some questions (a few from the GoingNative community - thank you!), draw on the whiteboard and demo some code.…

When you think about all the code executing in the world at any given time, there's a good chance you're thinking about a lot of code written in C/C++ (aka native code). As Mohsen Agsen mentions so astutely in this impromptu and candid conversation, C++ can be thought of as the dark…

As promised, the great Stephan T. Lavavej is back!   Tens of thousands of you have watched STL's (those are his initials, so that's what we call him) introductory series on the STL, or Standard Template Library. If you haven't, you should. This series, Advanced STL, will cover the gory details…

Herb Sutter introduces the AMD Fusion Developer Summit 11 crowd (and the world!) to Microsoft's view on heterogeneous computing in the concurrency age and introduces one of Microsoft's upcoming technologies for democratizing GPGPU/APU/Multi-Core/Many-Core programming for native developers:…

How will imperative programming languages evolve to suit the needs of developers in the age of Concurrency and Composability? What role can programming languages play in enabling true composability? What are the implications of LINQ on the furture of managed  (CLS-based) and…

C++ has been around for what seems like forever. It might seem like it's taken a back seat to languages that provide better application isolation and better development throughput, but in truth it remains one of the most widely used languages in the world. In order to gain some better…

Part 6 is a special episode in which Stephan takes a look at the latest C++11 features that were just added to the Visual C++ compiler:Variadic templates Raw string literalsExplicit conversion operatorsDefault template arguments for function templatesDelegating…
