... was an awesome conference! So this is my trip report. I really enjoyed the week in Bellevue, it was a pleasure to see so many of you again, so I want to thank Jon Kalb for organizing a great CppCon for the 2nd time.

I used to do overviews on all papers for a meeting, and when I find the time, I will do this for upcoming meetings again. I will try to post a best-of later, with all the good stuff on concepts, modules and more later. Currently I'm to busy, I just got back from CppCon, and will go to the Qt World Summit next week (meet me there!).

This is the third part of my series on writing applications with C++ using Qt and boost. This time I focus on building factories, using boost::factory, with the ultimate goal to have widget factory producing QWidgets. The last part was about building trees and treemodels for QTreeView.

Is it bad to have vector in a public interface?

After I finished my talk at NDC Oslo about encryption in C++, the last question I was asked by an attendee was about having std::vector in public interfaces as an argument, and if that would be considered bad practice. So, is it good or bad to use std::vector in a public interface?

Things have changed a little bit since I first visited C++Now in 2012. Today I do quite a lot of traveling for C++ and Meeting C++. I've been to Aspen in May to visit C++Now for the 4th time, and just returned from NDC Oslo. Still ahead in the second half of the year are 4 trips to Berlin, and flying to CppCon later this year.

An Interview with John Lakos

In 2013 and 2014 I interviewed Michael Wong at C++Now. This was a follow up on his keynote at Meeting C++ in 2012, and it was interesting to learn from Michael about the C++ Committee, Transactional Memory, Parallelism and his views on C++. So, with this years C++Now coming up, I thought about recording again an interview there, as I now also have far better camera and video editing options...

The C++ highlights and more of GCC 5.1

Just recently, GCC 5.0 has been released as GCC5.1, the not only the newest version of GCC, but also bumping up the version number from 4 to 5. This release is a major milestone for GCC, but also for C++, as it brings full C++14 support, but yet not C++11(std=c++11) as the new default. So the C++ world has now two fully C++14 compatible compilers: Clang and GCC.
