Reproducible Developer Environments in C++ - Michael Price - CppCon 2022
https://github.com/CppCon/CppCon2022

Getting a developer environment properly configured for your projects can be time-consuming and error-prone. Too often, the requirements are not clearly defined, are simply outdated, or make assumptions about the existing environment. Getting it slightly wrong can result in failures that are difficult to diagnose and could take days or weeks to discover. Working with multiple projects that have potentially conflicting requirements can make multi-tasking a chore. From getting the wrong version of GCC installed to requiring a specific version of an operating system, there are so many things that can stop a developer in their tracks.

This talk will describe the criteria we can use to determine the effectiveness of a solution to these problems, apply those to historical techniques, and will present a deeper look at two modern solutions, GitHub Codespaces and Microsoft Dev Box.

How Microsoft Uses C++ to Deliver Office - Huge Size, Small Components - Zachary Henkel - CppCon 2022
https://github.com/CppCon/CppCon2022

Office is one of the largest and longest-lived C++ codebases in the world. Over 40 years Office has evolved from a single application written in C for DOS to a product containing over 100M lines of C++ code targeting more than a dozen platforms. What are the implications of growing to this size and what sort of engineering is required? In this talk I’ll give a glimpse behind the curtain on the C++ engineering and architecture in Office. In addition to sharing some details on the scale of Office, I’ll describe the design and coding standards used to create well-factored components that we have termed liblets.

Zachary Henkel

Zachary is a Principal Software Engineer on the Core Architecture Team in Office. He is focused on codebase health and sustainability. He relishes the challenge of evolving the C++ code of a product as large and long-lived as Office. As much as Zachary likes writing new code, he’s happiest when deleting unused or duplicate code.
