[Talk 1] The hidden rules of world-class C++ code
If I was to show you some code, give you a few minutes to review it - how would you determine whether you are looking at world-class C++ code? This talk uncovers the hidden rules of world-class C++ code the speaker has observed in the Boost C++ community and in his professional career in electronic trading.
