CppCon 2015 Presentation Materials
A comprehensive archive of presentation materials from the CppCon 2015 conference for C++ developers.
What is CppCon 2015 Presentation Materials?
CppCon 2015 Presentation Materials is an open-source repository containing all slides, code examples, and resources presented at the CppCon 2015 conference. It provides developers with access to expert talks on modern C++ programming, language features, best practices, and real-world applications from one of the premier C++ events.
C++ developers of all levels seeking to learn from conference presentations, educators looking for teaching materials, and professionals wanting to stay current with C++14 features and industry practices.
This collection offers free, organized access to high-quality C++ educational content from leading experts that would otherwise be difficult to obtain, serving as a permanent reference for the C++ community's knowledge sharing.
Overview
Presentation Materials from CppCon 2015
Use Cases
Best For
- Learning modern C++14 features and best practices
- Studying advanced topics like metaprogramming and concurrency
- Finding reference materials for C++ education and training
- Exploring real-world C++ applications in different industries
- Understanding performance optimization techniques in C++
- Researching historical perspectives on C++ language evolution
Not Ideal For
- Developers needing the latest C++ standards (C++17, C++20, C++23) and contemporary tooling
- Teams seeking interactive, video-based learning with live coding demonstrations
- Beginners looking for structured, step-by-step tutorials rather than conference talk slides
- Projects requiring up-to-date best practices on modern C++ libraries and frameworks like C++20's ranges or modules
Pros & Cons
Pros
Features materials from C++ pioneers like Bjarne Stroustrup and Herb Sutter, providing authoritative perspectives on C++14 and language evolution directly from the source.
Covers a wide range from concurrency and metaprogramming to real-world applications in robotics and audio, as evidenced by the detailed index of presentations and tutorials.
Materials are categorically sorted into Keynotes, Presentations, Tutorials, etc., with multiple formats (PDF, PPT, Keynote) listed for easy access and navigation.
Offers high-quality conference content for free, supporting the open knowledge sharing philosophy and making expert talks accessible to the global C++ community.
Cons
Centered on C++14, so it lacks coverage of newer standards like C++17, C++20, and contemporary best practices, limiting relevance for current development.
Only provides slides and some code; lacks video recordings which are essential for understanding the full delivery, explanations, and audience interactions from the talks.
Relies on voluntary speaker submissions, leading to varying levels of detail and completeness in slides and code examples across different talks, as noted in the README's 'more materials' links.
