C++ Now! (formerly BoostCon) is pleased to announce its lineup of keynote speakers for the 2012 conference: Howard Hinnant, Sean Parent, and Daveed Vandevoorde. Howard Hinnant is the principal author of libc++, the standard C++ library implementation used by the Clang compiler. During the development of C++11, Howard served as chairman of the C++ Standards Committee¹s Library Working Group, and is largely responsible for the design of what Scott Meyers has called the language¹s ³flagship new feature:² rvalue references. His keynote will demonstrate how rvalue references are used in move semantics and perfect forwarding. Sean Parent is a principal scientist and software architect for Adobe¹s mobile digital imaging group and formerly managed Adobe¹s Software Technology Lab. He was also the keynote speaker for the very first BoostCon, where he gave one of the most inspiring and memorable talks we¹ve ever had. We¹re very pleased to welcome him back for an encore. He will be speaking on what¹s next for C++ programmers: how do we write beautiful code that truly exploits today¹s hardware and infrastructure? Daveed Vandevoorde is a compiler developer with Edison Design Group, the author (with Nicolai Josuttis) of ³C++ Templates: The Complete Guide,² a co-founder of comp.lang.c++.moderated, and one of the few C++ Committee Members who is equally comfortable working on library design, language evolution, or the arcana of core language issues. Daveed is currently a leader in the effort to add true modules to the C++ language. He¹ll be talking about the design of the C++ modules feature and what it would mean for the future of the language. ³We are thrilled to have such a powerhouse lineup in the first year of the new language standard,² said Dave Abrahams the conference founder and co-chair. ³C++Now! 2012 is truly shaping up to be a feast for the C++ enthusiast.² C++ Now! 2012 will be held May 13-18 in Aspen Colorado.
