As part of today’s VS 2013 launch, in addition to the live talks and Q&A we also have some recently recorded talks that are now also live. My talk is a quick 20-minute tour of the new ISO C++ conformance features in VC++ 2013 — nothing I haven’t said before, so if you’ve seen my last two Build talks you’ve seen this material, only here I’ve condensed it to a distilled two-minute overview of each feature using examples.

Here they are, each between 4 and 20 minutes long. Note that these are just the (V)C++-specific topics — be sure to look at the Related Videos of each to see other new features that light up for C++ as well as for other languages.

ISO C++ received a major upgrade with the latest standard, adding many features that make the language both simpler and more powerful. Visual C++ 2010 and 2012 have already implemented a number of these features, from auto to range-for to lambdas. In this video, Herb Sutter reviews the additional ISO C++ standards conformance improvements in Visual C++ 2013, and how each of them contributes to making modern C++ code clean, safe, and faster than ever.

Visual Studio 2013 includes several compelling new features for C++ developers. In this video, you’ll learn about IntelliSense improvements, the new code formatting feature, and other changes that help you navigate through and write your code.

New Compiler Optimizations for C++ Applications (Jim Hogg & Ankit Asthana)

C++ developers will find many improvements in Visual Studio 2013 — including new versions of the compiler, linker and tools — that make code run faster. In this video we’ll cover C++ performance improvements, including better vectorization; permutation in the order of loop nests; better Profile-Guided Optimization (that now applies to Windows Store apps); a new vector calling convention; and more support for C++ Accelerated Massive Parallelism (AMP).

Visual Studio 2013 includes numerous improvements for debugging C++ applications. In this video we’ll demo two of these features: Just My Code and JavaScript/Native Interop Debugging.
