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.…

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…

I caught up with Erik Meijer recently to see what was on his mind (wish we could do this more often as his mind is typically full of very interesting things at any given time!). Erik had just read an article - Every Programmer Should Know These Latency Numbers - and it got him thinking...…

We're back! Sorry for the delay between episodes, but we were busy preparing and then putting on GoingNative 2012, a C++11 conference that you have hopefully heard about It was a blast! Such great speakers. Such great attendees. Huge thanks to all of you who made the journey…

At Lang.NEXT 2012, several conversations happened in the "social room", which was right next to the room where sessions took place. Our dear friend, Erik Meijer, led many interesting conversations, some of which we are fortunate enough to have caught on camera for C9. Here, Erik interviews…

Welcome to GoingNative! GoingNative is a new show on C9 dedicated to native development and native developers, with an emphasis on modern C++. In our inaugural episode, we keep things light and easy as we introduce you to what we're doing, why we're doing it, and how it will go down. The…

Visual Studio 2012 RTM'd recently and MSDN subscribers are now writing code in the latest iteration of VS! C++ developers will be pleased with the improvements in VC11. From the compiler to libraries to IDE features, VC++ in VS 2012 represents the best version of VC++ to…

Today, Microsoft Open Technologies announced the open sourcing of Reactive Extensions! In addition to the usual support for .NET and JS we're very pleased to announce the release of the C++ Rx library! Now, C/C++ developers get to experience the power of LINQ…

Continuing with the series of conversations filmed in the "social room" at Lang.NEXT 2012, we present Andrei Alexandrescu, Walter Bright, Erik Meijer, and Andrew Adams-Moran discussing/debating various programming topics including pure versus native languages, Haskell, D, and more.…

Jeff Wilcox is a developer on the Silverlight team. He spends a lot of his time (~80%) coding in C++. Strange? Of course not... Silverlight is a portable managed runtime and C++ (C with classes in this case) is what enables Silverlight portability. Of course, Jeff also…
