Windows, MacOS and Web - Lessons from Cross-platform Development

Explore lessons from cross-platform development in this CppNow conference talk. Delve into the challenges of porting a large Windows-only software project to other platforms, focusing on elegant solutions for hiding platform-specific code. Learn about cases where standard C++ abstractions and cross-platform libraries like Qt and Boost were insufficient, and discover novel approaches to these problems. Gain insights into porting functionality to the web using C++ and WebAssembly, including a unique tool for generating type-safe C++ bindings from TypeScript interface definitions. Benefit from the speaker's extensive experience in software development and recent work on Mac porting and WebAssembly integration.
