AI++ 101 - Build an AI Coding Assistant in C++ by Jody Hagins

Friday 24th July 16:00 - 00:00 UTC / 09:00 - 17:00 PDT - £345/$460/€400 - £90/$120/€105 for students

Remember writing a compiler in university? Not a real compiler of course, but a toy that handled a subset of a language and generated naive code. You'd never ship it. But decades later, you still understand how compilers work because you built one.

That's what we're doing here. In one day, you'll build a working AI coding harness in C++.
Not Claude Code. Not Cursor. A simple, but complete harness that you fully understand. It talks to an LLM, defines tools, executes them, and runs the same agentic loop that powers every AI coding assistant on the market.

We will then use the minimal working harness, along with AI models, to modify its own C++ source code, adding features and more advanced functionality.

This experience will provide you with a fundamental understanding of how these tools work, so you can better use them as you move into the world of generative AI programming.

Mastering std::execution (Senders/Receivers) by Mateusz Pusz

Friday 15th May 09:00 - 17:00 UTC / 05:00 - 13:00 EDT - £345/$460/€400 - £90/$120/€105 for students

Today, C++ software is increasingly asynchronous and parallel, a trend that is likely only to continue going forward. While the C++ Standard Library has a rich set of concurrency primitives and lower-level building blocks, we lack a standard framework for asynchrony and parallelism that C++ programmers desperately need. Asynchrony and parallelism appear everywhere, from processor hardware interfaces to networking, to file I/O, to GUIs, to accelerators. Every C++ domain and every platform needs to deal with asynchrony and parallelism, from scientific computing to video games to financial services, from the smallest mobile devices to your laptop to GPUs in the world's fastest supercomputer. This training shows that concurrency is not only about the C++ Standard Library threading and synchronization low-level tools.

During the workshop, you will learn how to write efficient, asynchronous, and highly concurrent code without the need for any manual synchronization between threads, leading to simpler code and faster runtimes. During the hands-on exercises, you will create parallel processing pipelines with a new std::execution framework, also called Senders/Receivers, which will arrive as a part of C++26. The reference implementation of this framework is publicly available on GitHub, allowing it to be used in production immediately without waiting for the next C++ release.

How C++ Actually Works - Hands-On With Compilation, Memory, and Runtime by Assaf Tzur-El

Monday 18th & Tuesday 19th May 16:00 - 20:00 UTC / 12:00 - 16:00 EDT - £345/$460/€400 - £90/$120/€105 for students

If you have ever seen a C++ bug that disappears during debugging, appears only with optimizations enabled, or behaves differently across compilers, you have already encountered the limits of the C++ abstract machine. Such issues usually stem from implicit assumptions about how C++ code is laid out, translated, and executed – assumptions that are not guaranteed by the standard but are nevertheless relied on in real-world systems.

This workshop examines the gap between what the C++ standard specifies and how real implementations behave. Through live demonstrations and hands-on exercises, participants develop a practical mental model of C++ program execution, learning how language constructs map to runtime behavior and where implementation details influence correctness, portability, and performance. The emphasis is on building transferable mental models and reasoning skills that help experienced developers identify fragile assumptions and validate them when debugging, optimizing, or reviewing production C++ code.

From Hello World to Real World - A Hands-On C++ Journey from Beginner to Advanced by Amir Kirsh

Thursday 21st May 08:30 - 16:30 UTC / 16:00 - 19:30 EDT - £150/$200/€175 - £90/$120/€105 for Students

This workshop takes participants on a guided and practical journey through modern C++, starting from the absolute basics including classes and fundamental OOP design, and progressing toward real world examples and development practices. Through live coding and hands-on exercises, we will explore essential language concepts, focusing on code clarity, correctness, and modern best practices.

We will touch on the evolution of the language from C++11 to C++23, showing how new features enhance expressiveness, safety, and performance while keeping in mind what remains relevant for anyone still maintaining C++98 code.

Along the way, we will bridge the gaps for all participants with examples covering RAII, smart pointers and resource management, move semantics, STL data structures and algorithms, lambda expressions, templates, constexpr programming, and modular design principles. We will also discuss readability, API design, and how to avoid common pitfalls that even experienced C++ developers still face.

By the end of the workshop, participants will have a deeper understanding not only of how to write C++ code, but also of why things are done the way they are in modern software systems. No prior experience beyond basic C++ knowledge is required. We will, however, revisit the fundamentals quickly in order to move on to more advanced techniques and examples.

Join us to strengthen your C++ foundation, sharpen your modern coding skills, and rediscover why C++ remains one of the most powerful and rewarding programming languages to master.

AI++ 201 - Build an AI Coding Assistant in C++ by Jody Hagins

Thursday 28th & Friday 29th May 09:00 - 17:00 UTC / 05:00 - 13:00 EDT - £690/$920/€800 (£180/$240/€210 for students)

In AI++ 101, we built a working agent coding harness.

In AI++ 201, we will use a high quality harness, Claude Code, to build a stock exchange matching engine. Not a toy, but one that conforms to IEX specifications, with the kind of IPC infrastructure you'd actually deploy: lock-free queues, seqlock arrays, a sequencer. The works.

And you won't write a single line of code yourself.

Every line comes from Claude. You prompt, you guide, you review, you course-correct, but your fingers don't type C++. By the end, you'll have a working matching engine and a visceral understanding of what AI can do with serious C++ code.

• Day 1 covers the fundamentals: how agentic loops actually work, and why C++ is uniquely challenging for generative AI. We'll discuss and experiment with these issues, and develop strategies for generating high quality C++ code as we build some of the fundamental pieces.
• Day 2 is mostly building. We start with the IEX spec and end with a matching engine that processes orders, maintains books, and publishes market data through proper shared-memory IPC. Everyone codes with their own Claude instance. Results will diverge, but that's a great learning opportunity itself.

If time allows, we may get to play with a version of Ant Farm, my system for managing agents designed to build C++ software systems.

This workshop can be attended by anyone with a foundational understanding of AI Agents - attending 101 is not required to attend 201, but is encouraged for anyone new to the subject matter

C++ Software Design by Klaus Iglberger

Thursday 30th April 09:00 - 17:00 UTC / 05:00 - 13:00 EDT - £345/$460/€400 - £90/$120/€105 for students

The design plays a much more central role in the success of a project than any feature could ever do. Good software is not primarily about the proper use of any feature; rather, it is about solid architecture and design. Good software design can tolerate some bad implementation decisions, but bad software design cannot be saved by the heroic use of features (old or new) alone.

(Klaus Iglberger, C++ Software Design)

Good software design is essential for the success of a project and design patterns are the core ingredient for that. They have proven to be useful over several decades and knowledge about them is still very useful to design robust, decoupled systems. Modern C++, however, has profoundly changed the way we use C++, think about design and implement solutions. This 1-day training explores modern C++ design and the modern forms of the classic Gang-of-Four (GoF) design patterns. It provides guidelines, idioms and best practices for sustainable and maintainable design, which enable programmers to create professional, high-quality code.

Stop Thinking Like a Junior - The Soft Skills That Make You Senior by Sandor Dargo

Friday 8th May 20:00 - 23:30 UTC / 16:00 - 19:30 EDT - £172.5/$230/€200 - £45/$60/€55 for Students

Many developers spend years improving their technical skills but still feel stuck at the same level. The difference between a junior and a senior engineer isn’t only about writing better code — it’s about how you think, communicate, and take ownership.

In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore the mindset shifts and soft skills that truly define senior engineers. You’ll learn how to approach problems like an owner, communicate with clarity and empathy, and turn code reviews into opportunities for growth — both for yourself and for others. We’ll also discuss how to manage your time, energy, and expectations so you can deliver impact without burning out.

This workshop isn’t about writing code — it’s about becoming the kind of engineer others want to work with, learn from, and rely on.

Jumpstart to C++ in Audio - Learn Audio Programming & Create Your Own Music Plugin/App with the JUCE C++ Framework by Jan Wilczek

Monday 11th & Tuesday 12th May 13:00 - 16:30 UTC / 09:00 - 12:30 EDT - £345 £150/$200/€175 - £90/$120/€105 for Students

C++ is ubiquitous in audio. From music players to music production software to virtual instruments running on embedded platforms.

But getting started with C++ & audio is not easy, even for experienced C++ developers. There are many basics and pitfalls that are unknown unknowns: you don’t know they exist until you start investigating why your audio software glitches.

This workshop will teach you the basics of audio processing in theory and practice, and will allow you to create your first audio plugin: a flanger. We will go through the basics of digital audio signal processing, how audio processing is performed on modern computers, and how you can create your own audio software, be it plugins or apps. There will be plenty of time for Q&A and individual help.

Safe and Efficient C++ for Embedded Environments by Andreas Fertig

Tuesday 12th May 09:00 - 17:00 UTC / 05:00 - 13:00 EDT - £345/$460/€400 - £90/$120/€105 for students

This course will enhance your embedded systems skills using modern C++ up to C++23. By practical examples, you will learn how to write code that is safer, more robust, and more efficient. You will see patterns to replace the POSIX length value API.

We'll start with the basics and gradually move on to more advanced topics, all designed to make your code stronger and more efficient.

Many embedded systems operate without a heap. We explore standard compliant and undefined behavior-free ways to deal with custom allocators. You’ll see firsthand how unique_ptr, from the Standard Library (STL), can be a game changer even in memory-constrained environments.

By the end of this course, you'll not only be well-versed in the latest C++ features tailored for embedded systems but you'll also be equipped to write type-safe code that effectively avoids common pitfalls such as out-of-bounds access. Improve your code's readability and maintain efficiency, all while mastering the art of embedded programming with confidence.

Students are expected to have a basic knowledge of C++11.

Essential GDB and Linux System Tools by Mike Shah

Friday 17th April 13:00 - 21:00 UTC / 08:00 - 16:00 EDT - £345/$460/€400 - £90/$120/€105 for Students

Developers spend more of their time debugging code, than actually writing code. So why do we not spend as much time learning debugging tools and associated utilities to help get us out of trouble? Part of the answer is that debugging is often not taught as a subject -- but this workshop is here to fix that! In this workshop you will learn how to use a debugger (GDB) and associated tools (valgrind, sanitizers, code coverage tools, objdump, dwarfdump, etc.) to help debug and understand what your software is doing. In the age of AI generated code, legacy code, and massive code bases, understanding how to use tools is of critical importance. In this workshop we'll do interactive exercises to help ramp you up, and get you ready to tackle any project with tools in hand to help you understand how to write correct code, read code, and develop software with confidence

Concurrency Tools in the C++ Standard Library by Mateusz Pusz

Friday 24th April 09:00 - 17:00 UTC / 05:00 - 13:00 EDT - £345/$460/€400 - £90/$120/€105 for students

Today, C++ software is increasingly asynchronous and parallel, a trend that is likely only to continue going forward. The C++ standard acknowledged threads and provided the first concurrency facilities with C++11. The set of primitives and lower-level building blocks was greatly extended in C++20 with many powerful abstractions.

During this training, we will learn the concurrency utilities in the C++ Standard Library. We will also explain how new C++20 features improve the "old" abstractions we got before. We will talk about threads, mutexes, deadlocks, work cancellation, semaphores, latches, barriers, and many more. We will also introduce a few higher-level abstractions (e.g., concurrent_queue and monitor design pattern).

What You Will Learn?

After completing this workshop, you will have a broad understanding of the various concurrency features in the C++ Standard Library. You will be able to pick a proper tool for a job easily. Thanks to the hands-on practical experience with the most important tools, you will learn how to think and type the code that solves specific issues. This will allow you to improve your production code base immediately after the training is over.

Safe C++ by Klaus Iglberger

It seems to be popular nowadays to state that C++ is an unsafe programming language. However, what people seem to primarily have in mind is classic C++, i.e. the C++ that we have used in the 90s and 2000s. But C++ has changed fundamentally since then and almost all safety-related problems have wonderfully simple and reliable solutions. This 1-day training course shows how C++ can and should be used today to write perfectly safe code. It goes into detail about the typical memory safety issues (out-of-bounds access, use-after-free, ...), type safety (conversions, ...) and undefined behavior. It demonstrates by means of hands-on programming exercises that modern C++ is not just safe, but also simple and efficient at the same time. And last but not least, it also addresses the “unsafe” parts and shows how to deal with these.

Remember writing a compiler in university? Not a real compiler of course, but a toy that handled a subset of a language and generated naive code. You'd never ship it. But decades later, you still understand how compilers work because you built one.

That's what we're doing here. In one day, you'll build a working AI coding harness in C++.

Not Claude Code. Not Cursor. A simple, but complete harness that you fully understand. It talks to an LLM, defines tools, executes them, and runs the same agentic loop that powers every AI coding assistant on the market.

We will then use the minimal working harness, along with AI models, to modify its own C++ source code, adding features and more advanced functionality.

This experience will provide you with a fundamental understanding of how these tools work, so you can better use them as you move into the world of generative AI programming.

Splice & Dice - A Field Guide to C++26 Static Reflection by Koen Samyn

Thursday 2nd April 13:00 - 16:30 UTC / 08:00 - 11:30 EDT - £172.5/$230/€200 - £45/$60/€55 for Students

Reflection offers exciting new benefits that have the potential to reduce code sizes and also enable you to enforce compile time constraints.

In this workshop you use reflection to interface with OpenGL and ImGUI, where a simple example in the form of a compute shader will be fully developed into a reflection driven pipeline, where shader variables are bound automatically. Reflection will also be used to guard against typical graphical programming mistakes, such as wrong binding ids or locations, struct packing differences and plain old forgetfulness on part of the programmer.

The talk concludes with some practical reflection guidelines and insight into the upcoming release of C++26

Performance and Safety in C++ Crash Course by Jason Turner

Thursday 9th April 12:00 - 20:00 UTC / 07:00 - 15:00 EDT - £345/$460/€400 - £90/$120/€105 for Students

Why do you program in C++? The answer is probably "performance" (2nd most common answer is "because they told me to."). Performance and portability are the main strengths of C++. But safety and security are increasingly moving to the forefront of our concerns. How can we focus on performance and safety.

In this 1 day course we'll do a fast-paced overview of how to write code that performs well and is safe by default, and how to set up safety rails on your code that help enforce your guidelines. You'll leave the course with a set of guidelines to focus on when you get back to work.

Tuesday 14th April 13:00 - 20:00 UTC / 08:00 - 15:00 EDT - £345 £150/$200/€175 - £90/$120/€105 for Students

C++ is ubiquitous in audio. From music players to music production software to virtual instruments running on embedded platforms.

But getting started with C++ & audio is not easy, even for experienced C++ developers. There are many basics and pitfalls that are unknown unknowns: you don’t know they exist until you start investigating why your audio software glitches.

This workshop will teach you the basics of audio processing in theory and practice, and will allow you to create your first audio plugin: a flanger. We will go through the basics of digital audio signal processing, how audio processing is performed on modern computers, and how you can create your own audio software, be it plugins or apps. There will be plenty of time for Q&A and individual help.

Essential GDB and Linux System Tools by Mike Shah

Friday 17th April 13:00 - 21:00 UTC / 08:00 - 16:00 EDT - £345/$460/€400 - £90/$120/€105 for Students

Developers spend more of their time debugging code, than actually writing code. So why do we not spend as much time learning debugging tools and associated utilities to help get us out of trouble? Part of the answer is that debugging is often not taught as a subject -- but this workshop is here to fix that! In this workshop you will learn how to use a debugger (GDB) and associated tools (valgrind, sanitizers, code coverage tools, objdump, dwarfdump, etc.) to help debug and understand what your software is doing. In the age of AI generated code, legacy code, and massive code bases, understanding how to use tools is of critical importance. In this workshop we'll do interactive exercises to help ramp you up, and get you ready to tackle any project with tools in hand to help you understand how to write correct code, read code, and develop software with confidence
