Trip Report: CppCon 2014

I just posted my CppCon trip report over at isocpp.org.

I’ll repeat just the last part here:

Huge thanks again to the 150+ speakers, planners, and volunteers without whom this wonderful “C++ festival” (as several people spontaneously called it) would not have been possible. I had guardedly high hopes for the event, but I think it exceeded all our expectations. This was the most exciting and enlightening week I’ve experienced in my 20 years of C++, and I’m still catching my breath. I can’t wait until September 2015.

Here are a few pics I and others took. You’ll find more on Twitter tagged #cppcon.

Accessibility and community.

Yup. Modern C++.
