Klaus Iglberger is a freelancing C++ trainer and consultant and is currently on the payroll of Siemens in Nuremberg, Germany.

He has finished his PhD in computer science in 2010 and since then is focused on large-scale C++ software design. He shares his experience in popular advanced C++ courses around the world (mainly in Germany, but also the EU and US).

Additionally, he is the initiator and lead designer of the Blaze C++ math library (https://bitbucket.org/blaze-lib/blaze/src/master/) and the organizer of the Munich C++ user group (https://www.meetup.com/MUCplusplus/).

Back to Basics: The SOLID Principles

Apr 28, 2020

For almost two decades the SOLID principles have proven to be a valuable set of guidelines to cope with software dependencies. Although initially introduced as guidelines for object-oriented programming, they have become a universal set of guidelines that can equally well be used for procedural, functional or generic programming.

In this talk, Klauss will recap the SOLID principles and explain why they form such a valuable set of guidelines. Also, he will go into details about several common misconceptions and misunderstandings.

Embrace No-Paradigm Programming!

Apr 09, 2020

What kind of language is C++? Is it a procedural programming language? An object-oriented programming language? A functional programming language? A generic programming language? All of those? None of those?

In this talk I’ll analyse why it is increasingly hard to answer these questions, especially since the advent of “Modern C++”. I’ll demonstrate by example that the good solutions, i.e. the solutions that promote loose coupling, ease of use, ease of maintenance, and performance, are not firmly rooted in either one of the traditional paradigms. The examples will raise doubt whether it is reasonable to try to assign C++ to any one of the paradigms. Instead, they may be an indication that we should embrace no-paradigm programming.
