CppCon 2015: Sean Parent "Better Code: Data Structures"
http://www.cppcon.org
--
The standard library containers are often both misused and underused. Instead of creating new containers, applications are often structured with incidental data structures composed of objects referencing other object. This talk looks at some of the ways the standard containers can be better utilized and how creating (or using non-standard library) containers can greatly simplify code. The goal is no incidental data structures.

Keynote GoingNative 2012 C++
We know how to write bad code: litter our programs with casts, macros, pointers, naked new and deletes, and complicated control structures. Alternatively (or additionally), we could obscure every design decision in a mess of deeply nested abstractions using the latest object-oriented programming and generic programming tricks. Then, for good ...CppCon 2014: Mark Maimone "C++ on Mars: Incorporating C++ into Mars Rover Flight Software"

What’s the single most important design guideline for the creation of high-quality software? For Scott Meyers, it’s all about interface design. That includes user interfaces, of course, but also APIs, i.e., class interfaces, function interfaces, template interfaces, etc. The guideline is simple: make interfaces easy to use correctly and hard ...CppCon 2014: James McNellis & Kate Gregory "Making C++ Code Beautiful"

Our lives now run on software. Bugs are becoming not just annoyances for software developers, but sources of potentially catastrophic failures. A careless programmer mistake could leak our social security numbers or crash our cars. While testing provides some assurance, it is ...Rethinking Exceptions
The C++ programming language is accelerating with amazing new features, but sometimes it can feel like these features are out of reach. Unfortunately, many C++ developers are stuck using old C++ compilers, runtimes, and tools. They are missing out on some of the best features the language has to offer. ...CppCon 2014: Andrei Alexandrescu "Optimization Tips - Mo' Hustle Mo' Problems"

Reasonably-written C++ code will be naturally fast. This is to C++'s excellent low-penalty abstractions and a memory model close to the machine.
However, a large category of applications have no boundaries on desired speed, meaning there's no point of ...Things that Matter
In the 45+ years since Scott Meyers wrote his first program, he’s played many roles: programmer, user, educator, researcher, consultant. Different roles beget different perspectives on software development, and so many perspectives over so much time have led Scott to strong views about the things that really matter. In this ...
