BoostCon 2011: Registration deadline is Wednesday
The premier annual US C++ event, BoostCon, runs May 15-20, 2011 in beautiful Aspen, Colorado! See http://boostcon.boost.org for details. Hans Boehm, the father of C++ garbage collection and the C++0x threading model, headlines the fifth annual Boost Conference, with his keynote, "Threads and Shared Variables in C++0x." Other sessions about which which I'm personally excited: * Christopher Kohlhoff, the author of ASIO, is coming all the way from the "land down under" to present his library, slated for TR2. Also IPv6, and more! * Bartosz Milewski is going to talk about the relationship between C++ template metaprogramming and Haskell * Matt Calabrese presents his library implementation of the postponed C++0x concepts features Further topics include Unicode, lockfree programming, Boost.Units, compile-time graphs, database mapping, high-performance numerics, and... too many other good things to list. I'll be running a daily infrastructure workshop where we'll develop the frameworks for documentation, web services, build, test, packaging and distribution of C++ components, including ryppl. As usual, the best things about BoostCon are the people and the work that gets done between sessions. The pictures at http://boostcon.boost.org/photos/ give a pretty good sense of it, but there's truly no substitute for being there. If you haven't registered yet, fix that :-) at http://boostcon.boost.org/registration/. Your chance to save $100 expires on Wednesday. See you there! -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
Correction: sorry, I should have made this clearer. Wednesday is the deadline for *early-bird* registration. After that, it will cost you $100 more. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
Will there be any official videos of all the sessions recorded? As much as I would love the opportunity to go to these conferences the opportunity has not yet been possible. In the past i have viewed some of the presentations that have been made in videos from iTunes. The quality of these vary though based on the location of the microphone and most importantly it would be really useful to have access to the presenters slides as well as the video. I would be happy to pay to download such videos + slides if they exist. Are there any plans to do this sort o thing? On 9 April 2011 02:18, Dave Abrahams <dave@boostpro.com> wrote:

Marshall Clow has been managing that project for the past few years; it's been getting steadily better each time. We're very pleased that he's offered to do it again. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com

Thanks for the kind words, Dave. Last year's videos are available on blip.tv, but the best place to start is: http://boostcon.boost.org/2010-resources -- Marshall Marshall Clow Idio Software <mailto:mclow.lists@gmail.com> A.D. 1517: Martin Luther nails his 95 Theses to the church door and is promptly moderated down to (-1, Flamebait). -- Yu Suzuki
