11:00 NICO JOSUTTIS: THE BEST AND WORST NEW FEATURES OF THE C++11 STANDARD LIBRARY
: For the second edition of "The C++ Standard Library" covering C++11 (C++0x), I tried hard to understand the new features of both the C++ language and its library.

09:30 PHIL NASH: THE CONGRUENT PROGRAMMER

Track 1
09:30 REQUIEM FOR C
 Uncle Bob (Robert C. Martin): For nearly five decades, it's been C. Regardless of what else has been tried, the new language paradigms that have been explored, the new semantics that have been probed, C was at the heart of the successes. C++, Java, C#, Ruby, all took their cue from C. View the podcast here...
11:00 FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING YOU ALREADY KNOW
 Kevlin Henney: From JVM to .NET languages, from minor coding idioms to system-level architectures, functional programming is enjoying a long overdue surge in interest. View the podcast here...

16:00 COMPLEXITY THINKING? OR SYSTEMS THINKING++?
 Jurgen Appelo: People have been using the term Systems Thinking for a few decades. But nowadays we sometimes hear the term Complexity Thinking. Some claim that comparing complexity thinking to systems thinking is like comparing Einsteinian physics to Newtonian physics. Others claim that complexity thinking is nothing more than systems thinking in a fashionable jacket. View the podcast here...

Track 1
11:00 GIL ZILBERFELD - FROM CRAPPY TO CLASSY: LEGACY CODE RESUSCITATION
: Many times we're handed someone else's code. "It's working code; the last guy who worked on it said so", says our boss. Then he leaves the room. After close examination, we conclude there isn't a single test in sight. No proof it works, or a safety net to make our changes. Just "working" code. View the podcast here...
14:00 BERNHARD MERKLE - C WILL LIVE FOREVER BUT IN THE 21ST CENTURY IT LOOKS LIKE THIS...
: There is nothing like C when it comes to the bare metal and real embedded development. It is still one of the most popular languages and unlikely to be replaced in the near future. However there are quite a few problems in the language and especially for developers in the embedded area. View the podcast here...
