Speaking Sessions

  • C++ Web Servers and APIs

    1:00 PM Saturday   Room: Fireside A
    The Internet is a voracious user of processing power. Delivering web pages, querying databases, and processing images are just a few of the tasks web servers and APIs handle. This need for raw CPU performance has led to a resurgence of C++. While C++ had never gone away, more than ever before, it is the go-to language when performance is paramount. Most developers are surprised to learn that web servers and APIs can be built using C++. They are even more surprised to find out there are free and open source libraries to help you implement all of the features of modern web applications. In this session, we will build a small web server using C++ which can serve web pages and APIs.
