More and more C++ events, community meetups, and conferences are appearing around the globe. 2019 is definitely looking like a year for new C++ conferences. Take, for example, C++ on Sea (UK, in February) or the upcoming CPPP (France, in June). Even C++ Russia now has two editions per year – one in Moscow and one in St. Petersburg. And, finally, there’s the event we just visited – Core C++, held in Tel Aviv, Israel. Core C++ was started by the organizers of two big local communities, the Core C++ meetup in Te Aviv and the Haifa::C++ meetup. Adi Shavit from Tel Aviv is a well-known internati

Our C++ team is on its way back home from Bellevue, Washington, where CppCon was held during the last week of September. While our memories are still fresh, we’d like to share our impressions of this year’s installment of CppCon. As the biggest and most global C++ event, CppCon gathers attendees from all over the world and unites C++ developers of all levels of knowledge across many areas. Classes, sessions, panels, podcast recordings, lightning talks, open-content sessions, exhibition tables, posters – all these different formats help participants share their knowledge of all aspects of C+

We are happy to announce that this year the JetBrains C++ team will be back to CppCon in Bellevue, WA, USA – the biggest yearly event in the C++ development world – as exhibitors, participants and speakers! We greatly enjoyed it last year and are super-excited to join again! Learn with us JetBrains team is planning to present a selection of topics in the main program: Monday, September 24, 14:00 - 15:00 Modern C++ Testing with Catch2, a talk by Phil Nash Monday, September 24, 16:45 - 17:45 Debug C++ Without Running, a talk by Anastasiia Kazakova Tuesday, September 25, 14:00 - 15

From the 4th to the 9th of June 2018, Phil Nash and I attended the ISO C++ Committee meeting in beautiful Rapperswil, Switzerland, representing JetBrains. We are continuing our active involvement in developing and standardizing C++ (please read the last trip report for details). We are now past the middle of the release cycle for C++20. The next meeting in San Diego in November 2018 will mark the feature freeze for new language features – there is not much time left. A lot has happened in this meeting, so let me (with some help from Phil) update you on the most important bits: Modules

In May we were back to Aspen for C++Now 2018. This year the weather in Aspen was very friendly (no snowstorm like in 2017) and we were enjoying every single day of the event. What makes C++Now conference unique to me is a free and brave look into the future of C++. While other C++ events are mostly focused on sharing knowledge about new but existing language features, libraries, tools and techniques, C++Now is all about C++’s future evolution. C++ experts from all over the world (including many C++ committee members) are gathered in Aspen, at an elevation of 2400m, to discuss what can be im

A couple of weeks ago we traveled to Bristol for the annual ACCU Conference with our booth and 4 talks from our team (including a keynotes plenary!) in the main program. In this blog post I (Anastasia Kazakova, PMM for C++ Tools), Timur Doumler (Software Developer in the CLion team) and Phil Nash (JetBrains C++ tools Developer Advocate), would like to share our impressions and some interesting findings we had from the conference. ACCU: Professionalism in Programming ACCU doesn’t run a pure C++ conference. The official slogan is Professionalism in Programming, which gives the conference some

This trip report is provided by Timur Doumler, who joined the CLion team in fall 2017. You might know him from his work on the JUCE framework, the Audio Developer Conference (ADC) organization, and dozens of talks about modern C++ at various conferences. Now working at JetBrains, Timur continues to be active on the C++ Committee. He is now mostly involved in the Evolution Working Group (EWG), the subgroup of the committee that reviews and approves the design of new core language features. This fits well into our strategy at JetBrains: we would like to be actively involved in the committee and

Our C++ team just returned from the main event in the C++ world, the CppCon 2017 conference in Bellevue, Washington. While our impression of this fantastic event is still fresh, we’d like to share our thoughts and findings here with you. Talks CppCon covers a whole range of C++ topics each year. You can learn about the language itself, from current features to the upcoming standards, the dark corners and trickiness of C++. Many strong C++ developers come to CppCon to share their personal experience in C++ customization for Game Dev, Embedded, and other areas. Libraries are also a popul

Hi, A week from now, the CLion and ReSharper C++ teams will be visiting Bellevue, Washington, USA, for CppCon 2017, the biggest yearly event in the C++ development world! Come and listen to the talk given by our team members, and stop by our booth in the exhibition area between Wednesday, September 27, and Thursday, September 28, for a chat or a demo of the products, and you could win a t-shirt and a license. We have some great giveaways too, so come over and grab yourself a tricky mind teaser! Before the CppCon visit, Anastasia Kazakova, CLion Product Marketing Manager, will be i

It’s been a while since C++Now 2017 wrapped up in Aspen. As it was my first C++Now, I took some time to think it over before sharing my impressions. By the way, there are other trip reports: by Ben Deane, Michael Park and Odin Holmes. In a few words, it was a fantastic opportunity to dive into cutting-edge C++, and hopefully survive. That means not only successfully escape from a major storm in Denver and Aspen’s snowy weather, but also meet dozens of clever people and dive into crazy ideas and libraries, that will become your everyday C++ routine tomorrow. One exceptional thing abou

Hi, We’ve just returned from ACCU 2017 in Bristol, UK. Being amazed by the event I decided to share some notes here, and hope Phil will also jump in and share his impression. There are also reports by Vittorio Romeo, Simon Brand and Samathy Barratt which you might find interesting. JetBrains booth and my talk We’ve decided not to break the good tradition started in 2015 and as usual had a booth for Wed-Fri. We’d like to thank everyone who came for a chat or just to say hello: (more…)

Hi, As the CLion 2017.1 release has just passed and the Early Access Program for 2017.2 was opened recently, we are now ready for some travel! ACCU, C++Now and Sweden C++ are planned for April and May 2017. (more…)
