Join the Microsoft Visual C++ and Windows teams in Redmond on May 18, 2012 for a free, all-day event focused on building Windows 8 Metro style apps with C++.   These Windows-specific talks will use both portable ISO C++ and Visual C++-specific compiler…

In Part 3, STL digs into Overload Resolution. A function template can overload non-template functions of the same name. In this scenario, function calls are resolved by first using template argument deduction to instantiate the function template with a unique specialization (STL taught us all about…

In part 4, Stephan teaches us about Virtual Functions. In parts 1-3, we learned about compile-time constructs. Now, we enter the realm of runtime. STL spends some time discussing inheritance and a bit about access control. Tune in. Learn. See part 1: Name LookupSee part 2: Template Argument…

Scott Meyers presents "Universal References in C++11". This was filmed at C++ and Beyond 2012. This is the full session in all of its splendor. Huge thanks to Scott for allowing C9 to provide this excellent C++11 content to the world. From Scott's recently…
