What we’re about
Interested in C++ present and future? Want to improve your skills and knowledge - or just hang out with like-minded individuals?
This group is part of the worldwide network of C++ experts, professionals and amateurs who like to discuss the state of C++, what we can do with it, and how we can do it better. We welcome people from *all* parts of the community - very much including those that identify as minorities.
Our aim is to meet once a month with talks and potentially other activities.
If you'd like to present please fill out this simple form.
Our ground rules are documented in the Berlin Code of Conduct
Videos for many of the previous events can be found on our You Tube channel. Older videos are mostly hosted on the SkillsMatter site (you'll have to search for them - or individual URLS are given on the event pages here).
Upcoming events (1)
See all- Portable Floating Point TypesMaven Securities, London
We're back for the summer season and welcome Guy Davidson, who will be giving a preview of his upcoming conference talk on portable floating point types. Thought floating point was already portable? Prepare to be disabused of that notion!
Thanks to Maven Securities, who will be hosting us again. We'll need your full name for the door list, so we'll be asking for this on registration (as this may be different to your username). This data will only be used for the door list and not published anywhere.
We still have space for a couple of lightning talks, so if you have an idea - or you'd like to speak at a future event please get in touch at cppldn.uk/speak.
Here's the approximate schedule:
18:30 Doors open
19:00 "Intro and news" - Phil Nash
19:15 Lightning talks
- "Fun with Fast Math" - Tobias Wood
19:45 break
20:00 "I want portable floating point types please" - Guy Davidson
While integral maths operations are very well defined by the C++ standard, non-integral maths is not. I wish it were, and this talk will talk about why, and how to remedy the situation.
21:00 Conclusion
