On October 27th, 2021 I gave a presentation titled “A Crash Course in Calendars, Dates, Time, and Time Zones” at CppCon 2021.
You can find the slides here.

The official video is now also available on YouTube. Enjoy 🙂

This year at CppCon 2020, I gave two sessions:

A while ago, I gave a presentation about memory management in modern C++. It touched the following topics:

• Real Null Pointer Type
• Things To Unlearn
• Pointers
• Old C++ Versus New C++
• Avoid delete
• Automatic Lifetime (stack & heap)
• RAII
• Garbage Collection in C++?

Below you can find the slides of that presentation.

On Monday September 8th, 2014 I gave a presentation titled “Introduction to Microsoft C++ AMP” at CppCon 2014.
The slides of my presentation can be downloaded below:

CppCon is the annual, week-long face-to-face gathering for the entire C++ community. The conference is organized by the C++ community for the community. Taking place this year in the beautiful Seattle neighborhood and including multiple diverse tracks, the conference will appeal to anyone from C++ novices to experts.

What you can expect at CppCon:

• Invited talks and panels: the CppCon keynote by Bjarne Stroustrup will start off a week full of insight from some of the world’s leading experts in C++. Still have questions? Ask them at one of CppCon’s panels featuring those at the cutting edge of the language.
• Presentations by the C++ community: What do embedded systems, game development, high frequency trading, and particle accelerators have in common? C++, of course! Expect talks from a broad range of domains focused on practical C++ techniques, libraries, and tools.
• Lightning talks: Get informed at a fast pace during special sessions of short, less formal talks. Never presented at a conference before? This is your chance to share your thoughts on a C++-related topic in an informal setting.
• Evening events and “unconference” time: Relax, socialize, or start an impromptu coding session.

I’ll be giving a presentation myself at CppCon 2014: Introduction to C++ AMP (GPGPU Computing).

If you use C++, you should seriously consider coming to the conference.

On Monday March 17th, 2014 I gave a “What’s new in Visual C++ 2013” presentation for the Belgian C++ Users Group (BeC++).
This time there were around 55 attendees for the BeC++ meeting, quite a success 🙂
The slides of my presentation can be downloaded below:

Peter Van Weert gave a presentation “What’s new in C++14”.
His slides can be downloaded from the official BeC++ blog.

There are also a couple of pictures from the event on the BeC++ blog.

And I already started planning the next Belgian C++ Users Group meeting. It will be on May 8th, 2014. Details will follow soon.

I gave a report of the November MVP Global Summit 2013 to software engineers in my company. Obviously, I’m only talking about things that did not fall under NDA.
The slides can be downloaded below:

The 2013 edition of Meeting C++ was once again a great conference.
This year I gave an introduction to Microsoft C++ AMP on the conference.
The session was a great success. I estimate there were around 100 people in the room, and lots of interesting questions 🙂
After the session I read on Twitter

Awesome presentation on C++ AMP in track B. #meetingcpp

C++ AMP makes it possible to write C++ for GPUs in a STLesque fashion. #meetingcpp

On March 25th, I gave a report of the February MVP Global Summit 2013 to software engineers in my company. Obviously, I’m only talking about things that did not fall under NDA.
The slides can be downloaded below:

Here are the slides of my presentation I gave on Community Day 2012.

Here are the slides of a template refresher presentation that I gave to software engineers at my company.

Here are the slides of my presentation on C++ AMP that I gave to software engineers at my company.

A couple of months ago, I gave a presentation about C++11/C++0x features supported in Visual C++ 2010 for software engineers at my company. You can now download the slides.

On Thursday 27th of November I have given my first presentation for a Microsoft event. The presentation was given during a Microsoft Community Osijek (Croatia) event. You can find more information about that community on their site. The presentation was a 45 minute “Introduction to C++”. It gave a brief overview of C++ and about the advantages of C++. It also explained how to decide when to use C++ and how to fuse the C++ and C# worlds. At the end, I gave a demo on how to call a C++ DLL from C#. Comments after the presentation were quite positive 🙂
