C4GC
The C++ Core Guidelines aren't just wrought out of thin air. The talk will give you a glimpse into the process, and show how you too can contribute to the guidelines!

Shalom Craimer
Shalom has been crawling inside computers since he was old enough to crawl, but it took almost two decades before he got paid for it. A chance comment by a friend had him read the entire manual for MS-DOS 5.0, and he eventually found himself working in the financial sector in company named Tradigo.

In between, Shalom has worked in embedded video development in C, full stack web development in Perl and PHP (whatever the fashion was), physical sensor data analysis in Matlab and C#, or whatever is needed. His current love is C++, because how can you say no to such a beautiful type system?

std::variant<>
One of the new vocabulary types added to C++ 17 is std::variant.
In this talk we will learn the basics as well as how to use this (and other implementations)
effectively through several examples from different areas.

Dvir Yitzchaki develops LLVM based compilers at CEVA Inc.
Some of his open source work can be found at https://github.com/dvirtz

Hope to see you all! Please RSVP.
