CppCon 2015: Sean Parent "Better Code: Data Structures"

Sean Parent discusses how to better utilize standard library containers and design custom ones to eliminate incidental data structures and simplify code.

cppcon.org -- The standard library containers are often both misused and underused. Instead of creating new containers, applications are often structured with incidental data structures composed of objects referencing other object. This talk looks at some of the ways the standard containers can be better utilized and how creating (or using non-standard library) containers can greatly simplify code. The goal is no incidental data structures. -- Sean Parent is a principal scientist and software architect for Adobe’s mobile digital imaging group.
