Programming is hard. Programming correct C and C++ is particularly
hard. Indeed, both in C and certainly in C++, it is uncommon to see a
screenful containing only well defined and conforming code. Why do
professional programmers write code like this? Because most
programmers do not have a deep understanding of the language they are
using. While they sometimes know that certain things are undefined or
unspecified, they often do not know why it is so.

In this presentation we will study small code snippets in C and C++,
and use them to discuss the fundamental building blocks, limitations
and underlying design philosophies of these wonderful but dangerous
programming languages.

Olve Maudal works for Cisco Systems. He loves to write code, but is
just as interested in how software is developed as what it actually
does. He is currently involved in developing telepresence systems.
Previous experience includes developing systems for finding oil
(Schlumberger), and developing systems for electronically moving money
(BBS).

Olve is an active member of the vibrant geek community in Oslo where
he is involved in JavaPils, Cantara, XP Meetup, Oslo C++ Users Group,
Lean Meetup and a few other things. He is also an active member of
ACCU in Europe. You can follow him at http://olvemaudal.wordpress.com
