This talk is an introduction to C++, but from a more practical perspective.

You will see why in Sabre we choose to use C++, and in fact why we had to migrate some of our Java-based applications to C++.

You will also see one characteristic and fundamental feature of C++: value semantics.

We will assume that you have at least a superficial knowledge of one of the programming languages from the C-family, like C, C++ or Java.
