I originally wrote this article for Morning Cup of Coding. Morning Cup of Coding is a newsletter for software engineers to be up to date with and learn something new from all fields of programming. Curated by Pek and delivered every day, it is designed to be your morning reading list. Learn more. C++ structs are little bundles […]
This is my second part of the combined trip report for 3 conferences: ACCU, C++ Russia and C++Now, for their 2018 editions that I had the chance to attend. I’ve been over what ACCU is like already, both in terms of contents and in terms of what public they aim at (and therefore, who you […]
Going to conferences is a great experience, to learn about your domain and meet people that work in it. Going to conferences can give you tools to write better code. I’ve had the chance to go to (and speak at) three conferences over a month: ACCU in Bristol, UK at the beginning of April, C++ […]
By guest writer Patricia Aas. If your thoughts automatically went to code reviews when reading the title, you are not alone. However, this post is not about code reviews, quite the opposite. I’m going to ask you to approach other people’s code without judgment, with the purpose of understanding, not evaluating. It might surprise you how […]
Know something about writing good code, that other developers could benefit from? Want to put your ideas in front of a lot of motivated programmers? Fluent C++ may be the right place for your writing. Here is what guest posting on Fluent C++ is about, what it can bring to you, and how to submit […]
One of the common guidelines about naming things in code is to be consistent. But what does that mean, in practice? I had the chance to be at C++Now this year, and attend Tony Van Eerd’s great talk called Words of Wisdom, where he gave a very practical approach to that question (amongst many other […]
Today is Towel Day!! This is the day where we celebrates the iconic piece of geek culture: the Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy. In the Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy, the number 42 has a central role: it is no less than the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. This is […]
After reading the series of posts on the CRTP, Fluent C++ reader Miguel Raggi reached out to me with the following email (reproduced with his permission): Dear Jonathan Boccara, […] After reading the posts on the curiously recurring template pattern, I’m wondering how to (expressively) implement this with 3 or more classes. Say, you have 3 […]
Before we start again, have you sent in yet your most beautiful piece of code that prints 42? Towel day is coming up, so join in the celebration!! Now that is said again, we can start 🙂 As we’ve seen in How to Make SFINAE Pretty – Part 1: What SFINAE Brings to Code, SFINAE in […]
Before we start, have you sent in yet your most beautiful piece of code that prints 42? Towel day is coming up, so join in the celebration!! Now that is said, we can start 🙂 I’m going to assume that you’re a busy developer, living and working in a busy city. And let’s say that […]
