Based on the successful traditions of five years of BoostCon, which has been the main face-to-face event for all things C++ and Boost, C++Now! 2012 will present leading speakers from the whole C++ community. The conference name is changing to C++ Now! to reflect the current value of the language, the focus on its new state (from the new C++11 Standard), and the need to continually look to the future so the language remains useful to the C++ community.

The focus of this conference will be the new C++11 language Standard and, as usual, Boost: what’s new in C++, its Standard library, and in the Boost libraries; how to write and maintain Boost libraries; how to evangelize or to deploy Boost within your organization; and more. No matter what you are interested in, from the C++11 to the infrastructure and process of Boost or its vision and mission, it all comes together in the C++Now! sessions. Meet colleagues and feel the inspiration to support your work with C++ and Boost for the next year.

The C++ Now! Conference is dedicated to the discussion and teaching of C++, an open and free language and standard, as well as of open source software usage and developments in the C++ developer and user communities. To reflect the breadth of the C++ and Boost communities, the conference includes sessions aimed at three constituencies: C++ and Boost end-users, hard-core Boost library and tool developers, and researchers pushing the boundaries of computation. The program fosters interaction and engagement within and across those groups, with an emphasis on hands-on, participatory sessions.

As a multi-paradigm language, C++ is a melting pot where the most compelling ideas from other programming communities are blended in powerful ways.  Historically, some of the most popular sessions at C++Now! have highlighted these concepts, from DSLs to functional programming to transactional memory and more.  Bring your C#, Python, Ruby, Haskell, or other language influences to bear in an environment that will broaden their exposure.
