Hands-on workshop on September 30: Building Safer Firmware in Modern C++ -- Mateusz Pusz

By Mateusz Pusz | Sep 20, 2026 12:40 PM | Tags: None

A live, half-day, hands-on workshop on encoding the meaning of firmware values into the type system, so unit mixups, argument swaps, and out-of-range configuration become compile errors rather than field failures.

Building Safer Firmware in Modern C++, a live workshop with Packt

by Mateusz Pusz

The details:

• Wednesday 30 September 2026, 15:00 to 19:30 CEST (09:00 to 13:30 EDT), live online, hosted by Packt.
• Strong types and physical quantities with mp-units turn unit, bounds, and interface mistakes into compile errors. The generated assembly is then read to confirm the safety costs nothing at runtime.
• Everything runs in the browser on Compiler Explorer, so there is nothing to install.
• Tickets on Eventbrite.

Two half-day C++ masterclasses, and an open vote on the next online cohort -- Mateusz Pusz

By Mateusz Pusz | Sep 18, 2026 12:37 PM | Tags: None

Two half-day live online classes on topics experienced C++ engineers most often ask to revisit, plus an open vote that decides the subject of the next full-length online cohort.

Live online C++ masterclasses and open cohorts

by Mateusz Pusz

The details:

• Move Semantics and Forwarding References, Sunday 4 October 2026, 15:00 to 19:00 CEST. Value categories, move semantics, forwarding references, reference qualifiers, and the pitfalls around them.
• Name Lookup, Overload Resolution, and Customization Points, Sunday 6 December 2026, 15:00 to 19:00 CET. ADL, hidden friends, and the rules that decide which overload wins.
• Both run four hours live for up to 30 attendees, with hands-on exercises in Compiler Explorer and shared solutions reviewed in front of the room. EUR 99 plus VAT.
• The next open cohort is chosen by vote, open until 11 December 2026, between Advanced Modern C++ (5 days), Modern C++ Concurrent and Asynchronous Programming (4 days), Introduction to C++20 (5 days), and Mastering C++ Coroutines (2 days). The winning subject runs from Monday 22 February 2027.

Let's make a programming language

By Andrey Karpov | May 20, 2026 03:03 AM | Tags: None

We’re kicking off a webinar series on how to build your own programming language in C++.

Let's make a programming language. Parser

by Yuri Minaev

Watch now:

We’re continuing our webinar series on building your own programming language. In the previous sessions, we implemented a lexer for our language. In this upcoming webinar (May 21, 2026, 01:00 PM UTC+1), we’ll move on to the next step — the parser. In our experience, any parser starts with parsing expressions, so that’s exactly where we’ll begin. We’ll explain what a parser is, walk through the recursive descent approach, and then demonstrate how to build your own expression parser from scratch.

Past webinars: Intro, Grammars, Lexer.

The ACCU on Sea 2026 Schedule is Now Announced -- ACCU

C++ on Sea and the ACCU Conference combine, this, year for one big festival of C++ by the sea!

The 2026 Schedule is Here!

From the article:

Four days, five tracks, and a lineup that spans the full breadth of what ACCU on Sea is about: deep C++ content, broader software craft, and the kind of talks that make you rethink something you thought you understood.

A Brief History of Bjarne Stroustrup, the Creator of C++ -- CultRepo

By Blog Staff | Mar 25, 2026 12:06 PM | Tags: None

In this portrait, we meet Bjarne Stroustrup where we talk about his childhood, his accidental entry into computer science (what is "datologi" anyway?), and the ideas that shaped one of the most influential programming languages ever made -- among many, many other things... like how pronouncing his last name involves a potato.

Learn about generic programming and concepts, views & ranges with Nicolai Josuttis

By Meeting C++ | May 15, 2025 04:21 AM | Tags: training meetingcpp c++20

Meeting C++ is hosting two trainings on the 26th and 27th May with Nicolai Josuttis:

May 26th: Generic programming in C++ with templates and auto

Generic code is key for the success of C++. Almost all parts of the C++ standard library are implemented as templates and with auto. However, the uncertainty when seeing this code and when writing own code is high.

This online training will guide you through the most important elements of generic programming for ordinary application programmers. Based on the general approach for function templates and class templates we cover the more tricky topics like non-type template parameters, variadic templates and fold expressions, class template argument deduction, type traits, and SFINAE.

This can be used as perfect base for the training about C++20/C++23 concepts, which are covered in a training the day after.

 

May 27th: Concepts, Ranges, and Views - The New Way of Programming in C++

Concepts, ranges, and views, introduced with C++20 and extended with C++23, introduce a new way of programming with C++:

    Concepts establish a way to deal with requirements and constraints to simplify overloading and improve error messages of generic code. This sounds simple but changes the way we write code significantly.

    Ranges and views establish a new way to deal with collections and containers. Instead of using begin() and end(), we deal with the collections as a whole. This establishes new ways of data processing (such as defining pipelines) but also introduces new pitfalls and caveats.

Both features were designed together so that they benefit from each other:

    Ranges and views are implemented using concepts to behave well and help with their usage.

    As a consequence, standard concepts were designed according to a real non-trivial application of using them.

This full day tutorial guides you though these new features. The features are motivated and explained so that you understand purpose and design as well as how to use them in practice. This also implies to talk about the most important pitfalls (there are several) so that you avoid wasting time or getting even frustrated by unexpected behavior or strange errors.

 

You also can get both as two in one package.
