In this lecture, we will discuss some of the most painful issues faced by developers attempting to consume C++ libraries from a non-C++ application. These issues are typically first confronted by the non-C++ developer and then more experience interop stakeholders must be brought in. Issues arising during initial consumption are notoriously difficult to diagnose, debug, and understand often requiring some reverse engineering skills. This talk is designed around bridging the gap between C++ library author and the library consumer who is often not a C++ application developer.

Aaron took an unusual path to software and graduated with a degree in Social Work - which he declares has provided more long term value than any other aspect of his education - prior to attending grad school for Computer Science.
