* Developing High-Quality C++ Libraries: Insights from the Beman Project
This talk distills insights from the Beman project, a new open-source C++ library collection implementing standard library proposals, on how to build high-quality C++ libraries in a collaborative environment. Developed with contributions from dozens of experts, Beman's best practices encompass documentation, file structure, pre-commit hooks, continuous integration, and effective CMake usage. Attendees will learn practical strategies for creating maintainable, user-friendly libraries that leverage modern tooling and encourage community involvement.
