Meetup Track

📌 #1: Competitive programming vs Software Engineering in C++
Speaker: Chathur Gudesa, Jump Trading

The speaker will talk about the differences between competitive programming and software engineering based on his experience doing the former in his university days and the latter for a career.

(Note: this talk was changed from its previous topic regarding compilation times)

📌 #2: Versioning and ABI Compatibility
Speaker: Sun Jia Cheng, Jump Trading

The speaker will describe various C++ language-level constructs and ELF binary-level constructs to help developers version segments of their code. Are we referring to the functions we are expecting to call? Are we getting the objects we are expecting to be returned? Join this talk for an overview of how we can be more confident in calling the right functions.

📌 #3: Are Exceptions that bad?
Speaker: Klement Tan, Jump Trading

Follow the speaker on a journey to discover what happens under the hood when we use exceptions in our code.

📸 Note: Photographs will be captured during the event for future promotional activities.
