BitTorrent Tech Talks are one-hour sessions dedicated to the stuff that keeps us busy / keeps us up at night / keeps us coding. From time to time, we post them here. Because sharing.

In this edition of Tech Talks: an overview of some C++ gems. I threw this talk together because my team was about to start a new project in C++11. Since it’s fairly new, I figured some of it might not be as well-known as it should. Fundamentally, I’m pretty excited about all the new possibilities in C++11. Even higher-level abstractions, at even lower cost than C++98.

In the video below, we go over for-loops, automatic type deduction, lambda functions and more.

Correction: I say that lambdas with an empty capture statement defaults to by-value, which is incorrect. It defaults to not capturing anything.

Follow along with the C++ in the 21st Century slides:

In this edition of Tech Talks: BitTorrent’s Chief Architect Arvid Norberg describes how modern computers work, and the key challenges to software performance. He then breaks down how to modify data structures to better take advantage of your memory cache. Want to write your own high performance software?

BitTorrent Tech Talks: DHT

Every Wednesday, we meet in San Francisco, in a conference room creatively named San Francisco, for something we like to call Tech Talks. It’s one hour devoted to sharing the stuff that keeps us busy/keeps us up at night/keeps us coding.

In this week’s Tech Talks, we break down Distributed Hash Tables. Curious about how they work? Catch the video (above), or grab the slides over here.
