Meet the Authors
summary
Panelists claim a compact Tour of C++ is 180 pages that settles “what to read,” describe using clang-format to stop arguing about code layout, and explain modules as a concrete fix that turns “headers times sources” into headers plus sources for compile-time scaling. They show practical fixes: perfect forwarding to avoid extra copies (with template caveats), a three‑hour C++11 memory‑model talk on Channel 9, and real‑world book workflows (FrameMaker Word LaTeX, ten‑minutes‑a‑day drafting).
