Typical C++, but why?
The C++ type system is both very weak and very strong. In this presentation I will show you how using the strengths of the type system makes your code better. I will show you how types... * prevents incorrect code from compiling * improves readability of code * reduces the risks when changing code and I will show you how very simple changes to your code will take you far in the desired direction.
