The Shape of a Program

Explore the fascinating intersection of topology and programming in this opening keynote from C++Now 2018. Delve into Lisa Lippincott's innovative perspective on viewing programs as spatial shapes, specifically as bitopological manifolds. Learn how this approach can provide new insights into arranging actions and capabilities within frameworks of time, space, causality, and possibility. Gain a fresh understanding of program structure without requiring prior knowledge of topology. Benefit from Lippincott's expertise as Chief Software Architect at Tanium and her contributions to the C++ standard. Discover how mathematical concepts can illuminate software design in this thought-provoking 75-minute presentation.
