At best, it is a shared experience between speaker and audience. Even the most complex topics can be presented simply and clearly, sparking questions, conversation, and perhaps even some argument. When this is done well, a good talk becomes a great one and leaves everyone, including the speakers, with more: more understanding, more curiosity, more interest. Small tweaks to your presentations can make a huge difference. Learn how to add context and clarity to your talks; how much detail is enough; how to craft simple and effective slides; how to be truly comfortable on stage and engage your audience; and how to cope with the unexpected. You will have the chance to present your own work, learning from both other participants and your instructor. The workshop instructor will also share insights and experiences, including hiccups and disasters that have helped make them a better speaker.I envision much of this as a conversation with the audience where they can discuss their own ideas or works in progress if they choose; share experiences, find presentation ideas from the work they are doing day to day.---Slides: github.com/philsquared/cpponsea2025-slides/blob/main/PresentationsSponsored by Bloomberg: bloomberg.com/company/values/tech-at-bloomberg/c-plus-plusSponsored By think-cell: think-cell.com/cpponsea---Sherry SontagSherry Sontag has presented at ACCU 2024, CppCon 2024, CppCon 2023, and C++Now 2024.

Extending std::execution Further - Higher-Order Senders and the Shape of Asynchronous Programs cpponsea 2025-10-12 | https://cpponsea.uk---Extending std::execution Further - Higher-Order Senders and the Shape of Asynchronous Programs - Robert Leahy - C++ on Sea 2025---std::execution and the Senders & Receivers (S&R) model introduce a powerful new vocabulary for expressing asynchronous operations. While much of the focus has been on algorithmic composition, deeper expressiveness emerges when senders are treated as first-class values capable of being constructed, selected, and composed dynamically at runtime.This talk explores the concept of higher-order senders: Senders which can be used to connect and start operations that produce other senders. Using an operation called branch, the talk demonstrates how to express runtime fan-out, control flow, and dynamic execution graph construction within the S&R framework. These patterns enable asynchronous programs to adapt their structure at runtime, while preserving composability and strong typing.Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to use std::execution not just to implement asynchronous algorithms, but to structure asynchronous programs that respond to real-world conditions with flexible, runtime-driven behavior.---Slides: github.com/philsquared/cpponsea2025-slides/blob/main/Presentations/Extending_Std-Execution_Further.pdfSponsored by Bloomberg: bloomberg.com/company/values/tech-at-bloomberg/c-plus-plusSponsored By think-cell: think-cell.com/cpponsea---Robert LeahyRobert is a graduate of the University of Victoria where he specialized in graphics, gaming, and digital geometry processing.

Beyond Sequential Consistency - Leveraging Atomics for Fun & Profit - Christopher Fretz - C++ on Sea cpponsea 2025-10-07 | https://cpponsea.uk---Beyond Sequential Consistency - Leveraging Atomics for Fun & Profit - Christopher Fretz - C++ on Sea---In 2011, C++ introduced a formally defined memory model, providing a foundation for portable, multi-threaded code with well-defined correctness guarantees. This was a major milestone, enabling expressive threading primitives and safe concurrency patterns while allowing low-level optimizations for performance. By default, C++ atomics enforce sequential consistency, which ensures intuitive, predictable behavior. However, these strong guarantees often exceed what’s necessary for correctness and come with a performance cost. This talk delves into weaker memory orderings, particularly acquire/release and relaxed semantics, using a ring buffer as a practical example of how they can be used. We’ll also examine how the C++ memory model maps to real hardware, focusing on x86’s native guarantees, and comparing against less coherent platforms like ARM. We'll explore how strategic use of weaker synchronization can unlock significant performance gains without sacrificing correctness. ---Slides: github.com/philsquared/cpponsea2025-slides/blob/main/Presentations/Beyond_Sequential_Consistency.pdfSponsored by Bloomberg: bloomberg.com/company/values/tech-at-bloomberg/c-plus-plusSponsored By think-cell: think-cell.com/cpponsea---Christopher FretzChris is a senior C++ engineer working at Bloomberg LP on a developer experience team for a large organization within the company's market data pipeline.

Currently the system fails in its most basic goal: identifying engineers who will succeed on the job. It disenfranchises both candidates and employers, screens out capable engineers, wastes time and resources, and undermines the hiring process itself.We will first discuss the current landscape of software engineering interviews - including the most ubiquitous categories of interview problems used today. We will discuss how competitive programming - once a niche, recreational activity - has become a prerequisite for job placement for essentially all engineering roles.From there, we will analyze the gap between what we are trying to assess with these problems and the actual skills that correlate with job performance.We will discuss the core purpose of the interview process - minimizing risk in hiring by predicting future job performance - in order to understand why both engineers and the companies that employ them are poorly served by the current system. Then we will identify the most important indicators of high job performance and how we can best identify those skills in candidates.Finally, we’ll present a practical framework for designing interview questions that surface these skills more effectively. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies for structuring high-signal, real-world interview processes that better predict impact and performance. ---Slides: docs.google.com/presentation/d/1U9jERDrjNZyHK1j9AeBXVT8M6B1xj0VvR2OL9Dtm6eY/edit?usp=sharingSponsored by Bloomberg: bloomberg.com/company/values/tech-at-bloomberg/c-plus-plusSponsored By think-cell: think-cell.com/cpponsea---Kristen ShakerKristen Shaker is an accomplished software engineer known for her expertise in C++ refactoring and exceptional leadership abilities.

This is not just an economical but also an ecological problem. Furthermore, battery powered devices like smartphones and tablets depend on energy efficient software for the longevity of a battery charge. What influences the rising energy consumption and is there something we can do about it? One not so obvious factor is the choice of which programming language is used to write the programs that are used all over the world.In this talk we want to analyze how the different programming languages influence the energy consumption of the program. We are going to cite studies and do our own analysis using different programming languages, like C++, C#, Rust, Python and maybe more. Energy consumption is defined as run time multiplied by power consumption and our analysis will show the influence of choosing a different programming language for both components of energy consumption. ---Slides: github.com/philsquared/cpponsea2025-slides/blob/main/Presentations/Green_Programming.pdfSponsored by Bloomberg: bloomberg.com/company/values/tech-at-bloomberg/c-plus-plusSponsored By think-cell: think-cell.com/cpponsea---Tina UlbrichTina works at ROSEN, a service provider in the oil and gas industry.

To be more precise – confirmation into the standard was given to the Contracts MVP – Minimal Viable Product. This talk will bring you the highlights of the MVP and occasionally also some forecasted features beyond it – some of which might still also make it into C++26, which should be known at the Sofia plenary just 2 days before C++ on Sea commences, and which I will strive to update accordingly.

It not only enabled complex variadi8c techniques but also made development of flexible and optimizable code much simpler. Subsequent advancements in C++ syntax and the standard library have extended their power. This presentation offers a refresher/introduction to variadic templates and their associated concepts, facilities, and techniques, without diving into advanced metaprogramming. We'll begin with a brief historical overview of pre-C++11 techniques that motivated the introduction of variadic template support. Next, we'll explore the core features of variadic templates and the supporting facilities provided by the language and standard library. Real-life application examples will be used to illustrate these concepts and demonstrate their practical use. ---Slides: github.com/philsquared/cpponsea2025-slides/blob/main/Presentations/Variadic_Templates_and_Parameter_Packs.pdfSponsored by Bloomberg: bloomberg.com/company/values/tech-at-bloomberg/c-plus-plusSponsored By think-cell: think-cell.com/cpponsea---Vladimir VishnevskiiSoftware Engineer writing C++ code :)---C++ on Sea is the international C++ conference taking place by the sea, in the UK.

Contracts, Safety, and the Art of Cat Herding - Timur Doumler - C++ on Sea 2025 cpponsea 2025-09-21 | https://cpponsea.uk---Contracts, Safety, and the Art of Cat Herding - Timur Doumler - C++ on Sea 2025---In recent years, we have seen a strong push to make C++ "safer" and "more secure". Several efforts are under way: contract assertions and library hardening have already been approved for the upcoming C++26 standard, while proposals like profiles and borrow checking are still in development. Within the C++ standardisation process, we face significant obstacles: the infamously slow and challenging ISO process, the absence of a holistic strategy, and the lack of a shared understanding of what "safety" even means. Meanwhile, outside of the standardisation process, vendors are rolling out their own bespoke tools to fill the gap and solve real-world problems.In this keynote, we take a step back and examine how all these pieces fit into the bigger picture. What is a "correct" program, and what does it have to do with Contracts? Why are "safety" and "security" not the same thing as removing undefined behaviour? And how do all these different concepts connect?We'll introduce a framework for reasoning about incorrect programs and present a holistic, actionable strategy for systematically mitigating undefined behaviour throughout the entire C++ language. Along the way, we also explore the human side of standardisation – the art of helping fiercely opinionated engineers find common ground – and what we can learn from it.---Sponsored by Bloomberg: bloomberg.com/company/values/tech-at-bloomberg/c-plus-plusSponsored By think-cell: think-cell.com/cpponsea---Timur DoumlerTimur Doumler is the co-host of CppCast and an active member of the ISO C++ standard committee, where he is currently co-chair of SG21, the Contracts study group.

Even in the current WG21 ISO proposals, most of the focus is on bounds, initialisation and lifetime, with little being said about thread safety.Bugs stemming from thread safety problems tend to be difficult to diagnose and fix. Effects often happen a long time after a data race occurs and in unrelated areas. In order to take advantage of modern hardware C++ is becoming an increasingly concurrent language, we should have good language support or at least robust libraries to enforce thread safety.Other languages manage this. What can we learn from them and how far can we get applying their thread safety strategies to C++?

Re-Release: Missing (and future?) C++ Range Concepts - Jonathan Müller - C++ on Sea 2025 cpponsea 2025-09-16 | https://cpponsea.uk---Missing (and future?) C++ Range Concepts - Jonathan Müller - C++ on Sea 2025---Iterators and ranges have been essential parts of the C++ standard library since its inception. With C++20, they were brought to the next level in the form of std::ranges: We now have formalized requirements on the algorithms, lazy views to enable pipelines, and much more powerful iterators. Since then, more and more views and algorithms have been added in C++23. However, the fundamental concepts have mostly been left unchanged, even though there are still some rough edges. This talk explores new kinds of ranges that are not possible with the existing C++ range concepts. We will first look at compcile-time-sized, approximately sized, and infinite ranges, then at noncontiguous ranges with contiguous chunks. Finally, we will explore an optimization to make many algorithms much more efficient by using a pushed-based for_each_while(rng, sink) customization point instead of pull-based iterators. Optimization gives us a glimpse into a world where ranges are no longer constrained by iterators, enabling heterogeneous ranges of multiple types. Heterogeneous ranges allow us to use types like std::tuple in range algorithms, do type-based metaprogramming using regular views, and efficiently handle ranges over polymorphic types. This truly takes the power of ranges to the next level! ---Slides: github.com/philsquared/cpponsea2025-slides/blob/main/Presentations/Missing-and-future-Cpp-Range-Concepts.pdfSponsored by Bloomberg: bloomberg.com/company/values/tech-at-bloomberg/c-plus-plusSponsored By think-cell: think-cell.com/cpponsea---Jonathan MüllerJonathan is a Software Engineer at think-cell.

What are they? Why and how would you use them?The aim of this talk is to introduce some fundamental functional programming techniques (such as monads) and explain how they make your code safer and more readable. Using C++20 and 23 additions, multiple classic condition- and loop-based code examples are transformed into a more functional, declarative form. The resulting code is less complex, has less duplication and a lower likelihood of containing bugs.The talk is intended for anyone who would like to learn about functional programming techniques and add new tools to their code design toolbox. After it, you will- Have an idea what functors and monads are- Know multiple ways to pass callables to them- Confidently use std::views::transform and std::views::join, std::optional and std::expected- Know about some some common pitfalls and how to avoid them- Have the tools to write your own monadic wrapperBeing able to read basic C++ code is recommended. ---Slides: github.com/philsquared/cpponsea2025-slides/blob/main/Presentations/Safe_and_Readable_Code.pdfGithub Repository: github.com/asperamanca/monadic_operations_cpp23Sponsored by Bloomberg: bloomberg.com/company/values/tech-at-bloomberg/c-plus-plusSponsored By think-cell: think-cell.com/cpponsea---Robert SchimkowitschRobert has been a professional application developer for 25 years, 15 of them using C++ and Qt.

Software Engineering Completeness - Knowing When You Are Done and Why It Matters - Peter Muldoon cpponsea 2025-08-31 | https://cpponsea.uk---Software Engineering Completeness - Knowing When You Are Done and Why It Matters - Peter Muldoon---In software engineering, declaring something done is deceptively simple but can be dangerously incomplete. Whether you're launching new features, resolving bugs or tackling systemic codebase issues, a shallow definition of "done" such as merely checking code into a repository can lead to bloated, brittle systems plagued by unchecked technical debt, poor maintainability and stalled feature progress.True completeness in engineering goes far beyond functional correctness. It demands consideration of code quality, technical debt, refactoring, decommissioning, system reliability, and long-term strategic direction. Tactical fixes may patch symptoms, but sustainable engineering requires a broader, disciplined approach to change.This talk introduces the Software Engineering Completeness Pyramid, a conceptual framework inspired by Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs that maps the levels of maturity required to deliver change effectively and sustainably.

An Introduction to Reinforcement Learning - Snake Your Way out of a Paper Bag - Frances Buontempo cpponsea 2025-08-26 | https://cpponsea.uk---An Introduction to Reinforcement Learning - Snake Your Way out of a Paper Bag - Frances Buontempo---When people talk about AI they tend to mean LLMs, so this talk will to remind us of other approaches to AI. Reinforcement learning (RL) is a type of machine learning, so part of AI. An "agent" takes actions in a dynamic environment. Better outcomes are rewarded and worse outcomes are penalised. RL can be used for targeted marketing, infrastructure optimisation or making financial decisions. RL has also been used to learn to play Go and PacMan. We won't have time for these, so we will implement Snake instead and see if the machine can learn to play the game. We'll see some code, and come away with an understanding of machine learning in general and RL in particular. This is a fun opportunity to learn and revise some C++, tracking better outcomes and probabilistically choosing moves (think using random numbers). We will start with a std::vector and progress from there. Come along and practice some C++ and learn some AI on the way. I'll look at vanilla Q-learning, which just uses a table of data. You can extend this to deep Q-learning, using a neural network, which I won't have time to cover. Implementing something yourself is a great way to learn, both your chosen language and the thing you are implementing. ---Slides: github.com/philsquared/cpponsea2025-slides/blob/main/Presentations/An_Introduction_to_Reinforcement_Learning.pdfSponsored by Bloomberg: bloomberg.com/company/values/tech-at-bloomberg/c-plus-plusSponsored By think-cell: think-cell.com/cpponsea---Frances BuontempoFrances Buontempo is currently editor of the ACCU’s Overload magazine, has written a book on Genetic Algorithms and Machine Learning, and a C++ book to help you catch up since C++11.

Rust Traits In C++ - Eduardo Madrid - C++ on Sea 2025 cpponsea 2025-08-25 | https://cpponsea.uk---Rust Traits In C++ - Eduardo Madrid - C++ on Sea 2025---The traditional mechanism of runtime polymorphism, in C++, is inheritance and virtual overrides, however, this mechanism requires strong commitment, including the intrusive nature of inheritance, which might be inadequate in many situations, and actually, Rust Traits are a very useful way to approach the needs of runtime polymorphism for many scenarios. Let's learn that and see if we can benefit from it natively in C++.C++ is such an expressive language that we can incorporate a central feature of another language, Rust Traits, with just about optimal performance that may be even better than that of the normal mechanism in C++ and its native expression in Rust.In this presentation we will start with C++ and a type erasure library to show step by step how we can transform it into the functional equivalent of Rust Traits---Slides: github.com/philsquared/cpponsea2025-slides/blob/main/Presentations/How_To_Get_the_Benefits_of_Rust_Traits_for_Runtime_Polymorphism_in_C++.pdfSponsored by Bloomberg: bloomberg.com/company/values/tech-at-bloomberg/c-plus-plusSponsored By think-cell: think-cell.com/cpponsea---Eduardo MadridGeneric Programming practitioner.

For more than two decades, C++ has served as the workhorse of high-performance, low-power, and low-latency software across industries. Its raw speed and unconstrained flexibility have made C++ the go-to language for and backbone of large-scale software development.Recently, however, software engineering priorities have shifted significantly toward safety. While C++ enables the creation of secure and correct programs, its traditional focus has favored performance over safety guarantees. As the software landscape evolves, C++ faces a crucial inflection point. To maintain its unparalleled stature, C++ must embrace various safety mechanisms along with safety-by-default principles to support a broader developer ecosystem while preserving the performance capabilities that experts will continue to demand.This talk will examine C++'s evolution toward safety-first development, analyzing functional, language, memory, lifetime, and data-race safety considerations. We survey existing safety techniques, identify current limitations, and explore potential solutions for remaining security challenges. Finally, we present a comprehensive roadmap for achieving robust safety guarantees in C++26, while continuing to enable all the language’s performance advantages.---Sponsored by Bloomberg: bloomberg.com/company/values/tech-at-bloomberg/c-plus-plusSponsored By think-cell: think-cell.com/cpponsea---John LakosJohn Lakos, author of Large-Scale C++ Software Design (Pearson, 1996), serves at Bloomberg LP in New York City as a senior architect and mentor for C++ Software Development worldwide.

They form the foundation for understanding modern C++, yet mistakes around them are surprisingly common. Without taking the time to understand the rules behind them, we often run into confusing behavior without knowing why.Why does std::move sometimes end up calling the copy constructor?When exactly does the compiler materialize temporaries, and how does that affect which overload or constructor is chosen?These are some of the questions this session will explore. We’ll start with a clear understanding of value categories, and from there explore how they influence move semantics, copy elision, overload resolution, and more.While this is primarily a basic to intermediate talk, I hope programmers at every level will leave with practical insights they can immediately apply to write cleaner, safer and faster C++ code.---Slides: github.com/philsquared/cpponsea2025-slides/blob/main/Presentations/C++_Value_Categories_in_Action.pdfSponsored by Bloomberg: bloomberg.com/company/values/tech-at-bloomberg/c-plus-plusSponsored By think-cell: think-cell.com/cpponsea---Sandeep MantralaSandeep is a C++ engineer specializing in market data feed handlers and high-performance financial systems.

The Pattern Matching We Already Have - Braden Ganetsky - C++ on Sea 2025 cpponsea 2025-08-21 | https://cpponsea.uk---The Pattern Matching We Already Have - Braden Ganetsky - C++ on Sea 2025---All the way since C++98, we have already had pattern matching in C++! It's limited to specific places, but it's there. Template argument deduction, function overload resolution, and class template specializations are all instances of pattern matching in the C++ language, dating all the way back to the original standard.The C++11 additions to the language also require library constructs to help deal with type deduction in forwarding references, namely std::forward, among others. Even experienced C++ developers may run into unexpected situations using it, especially in newer scenarios like concepts from C++20. This talk will lay clear the rules of forwarding and std::forward, and how you can forward your arguments properly every time.This interactive talk is a deep dive into template argument deduction, helping you to understand it at deeper level across all of C++'s lifespan. Almost all that applies in C++98 still applies today, so a foundational understanding is important. Additionally, newer language standards have introduced further wrinkles, like C++11's move semantics and variadic template parameters, as well as C++17's class template argument deduction. By the end of this talk, you will have a solid understanding of how C++ deduces the types used in your code.---Slides: github.com/philsquared/cpponsea2025-slides/blob/main/Presentations/ganets.ky/slides/2025/cpponseaSponsored by Bloomberg: bloomberg.com/company/values/tech-at-bloomberg/c-plus-plusSponsored By think-cell: think-cell.com/cpponsea---Braden GanetskyBraden Ganetsky graduated from the University of Manitoba with a degree in mechanical engineering, fueled by his passion for mechanical puzzles.

Building Robust Inter-Process Queues in C++ - Jody Hagins - C++ on Sea 2025 cpponsea 2025-08-19 | https://cpponsea.uk---Building Robust Inter-Process Queues in C++ - Jody Hagins - C++ on Sea 2025---The C++ standard was written with a single-process worldview. Processes are mentioned once - in a note stating that lock-free atomic operations work across process boundaries. This single note has led to widespread but incorrect advice across Stack Overflow and blogs about using std::atomic in shared memory. The reality is far more complex.Moving queue implementations from threads to processes reveals a cascade of subtle failures. Traditional queue designs that work perfectly for thread communication break surprisingly when crossing process boundaries.Two popular open-source SPSC C++ implementations (Daugaard and Rigtorp) will be examined to determine the required changes to use those queues in inter-process shared memory. We will then consider the interface for these queues in light of using them across process boundaries, which will reveal that the traditional intra-process queue API is inadequate for inter-process usage. We will consider an alternative inter-process queue design separating the interface into three components.This code-heavy presentation will tackle complex problems, such as maintaining implicit lifetime properties while restricting dangerous operations, handling process death during critical sections, and enforcing type constraints that differ between copy and direct-access strategies.Then, we'll push further into MCAST queues, where each consumer sees every message, forcing us to deal with increased complexity around message delivery guarantees and slow reader handling.Throughout, we'll see how each solution reveals new challenges, leading us to build a comprehensive approach to shared memory queues that works not just in theory but in the unforgiving world of production systems where processes die, readers stall, and our standard tools don't always behave as expected.---Slides: github.com/philsquared/cpponsea2025-slides/blob/main/Presentations/Building_Robust_Inter-Process_Queues_in_C++.pdfSponsored by Bloomberg: bloomberg.com/company/values/tech-at-bloomberg/c-plus-plusSponsored By think-cell: think-cell.com/cpponsea---Jody HaginsJody Hagins has been using C++ for the better part of four decades.

Namespaces 101 - Sandor DARGO - C++ on Sea 2025 cpponsea 2025-08-17 | https://cpponsea.uk---Namespaces 101 - Sandor DARGO - C++ on Sea 2025---In this beginner-friendly talk, we are going to explore namespaces. They are an essential tool for organizing our codebase around different concerns and across different layers. But we cannot call it a day by simply stating that.We also need to discuss their evolution. Over time, C++ introduced features like inline namespaces, which are a handy tool for API versioning. Additionally, namespace usage has been simplified—nested namespaces and even nested inline namespaces can now be opened directly.After covering the syntactic basics, we will dive into how the compiler performs name lookup. Which namespaces will it check from a given scope? And if it cannot find a symbol, how can we bring in all or specific members of a namespace into our current scope? What advantages anonymous namespaces offer?In the final section of our talk, we'll move beyond language rules to cover best practices based on the Core Guidelines, the Google Style Guide, and personal experience. This includes not just naming and formatting conventions, but also guidance on how and when to bring the contents of a namespace into a scope—and the potential pitfalls of the using keyword for your codebase.---Slides: github.com/philsquared/cpponsea2025-slides/blob/main/Presentations/Namespaces_101.pptxSponsored by Bloomberg: bloomberg.com/company/values/tech-at-bloomberg/c-plus-plusSponsored By think-cell: think-cell.com/cpponsea---Sandor DARGOSandor is a passionate software craftsman focusing on reducing the maintenance costs by developing, applying and enforcing clean code standards.
