What if you could stop treating AI coding tools like magic — and actually understand how they work?

In this hands-on CppCon 2026 workshop, Jody Hagins takes you deep inside the mechanics of modern AI coding assistants by guiding you through building a working AI coding agent in C++ from scratch.

Not a polished commercial product.
Not a black box.

A real, understandable system that talks to an LLM, defines tools, executes commands, and runs the same style of agentic loop used by tools like Claude Code and Cursor.

If you’ve been curious about AI-assisted development but want to move beyond hype and marketing buzzwords, this workshop is designed for experienced C++ developers who want practical understanding and hands-on experience.

Throughout this intensive one-day lab-focused class, you’ll build an agent capable of:
Reading and writing code
Compiling and fixing its own errors
Executing tools and commands
Managing conversational context
Even modifying its own source code to add new functionality
Along the way, you’ll gain insight into:
How system prompts shape model behavior
What “tool calling” actually means
Why LLMs hallucinate and go off the rails
How context windows and turns really work
Why the same model can behave completely differently depending on prompting and tooling

Jody Hagins brings decades of experience spanning AI research, Unix kernel development, low-latency financial systems, and modern C++. This workshop blends practical engineering with deep technical understanding to help demystify one of the fastest-moving areas in software development today.

By the end of the day, you won’t just be using AI tools — you’ll understand what they’re doing under the hood, why they fail, and how to build your own.

🌐 Online at CppCon 2026
📅 Monday–Wednesday, September 21–23, 2026
🕘 09:00–15:00 MDT | 11:00–17:00 EDT | 17:00–23:00 CEST


Master C++23 with One of the Language’s Foremost Experts
C++23 is here—and it’s packed with powerful language and library updates. Whether you're a professional developer looking to stay current or a Modern C++ practitioner curious about what's next, this three-day online workshop is your gateway to understanding and using C++23 effectively.

Led by Nicolai Josuttis—acclaimed author, educator, and a long-time member of the C++ Standards Committee—this course walks you through every major feature of C++23 that is already supported by leading compilers like GCC, Clang, and MSVC.

You’ll explore:
New language constructs that enhance expressiveness and clarity

Library additions that streamline development

Real-world use cases for day-to-day application programming

Design rationale behind the changes, with insider insights from the standardization process

As with Nico’s popular books and courses, the focus is on practicality and usability, helping you understand not just what the features are—but why they exist and how to use them right.

Whether you're adopting C++23 in production or just beginning to experiment, this course gives you the tools, context, and confidence to write modern, expressive, and efficient C++.

🎟️ Live. Online. Instructor-led.

Architecting Real-World Systems with Modern C++
Modern C++ empowers engineers with powerful tools—but designing scalable, robust, and maintainable systems requires more than just technical fluency. It requires architectural thinking.

Join Charley Bay for a three-day online workshop that equips experienced C++ developers with the architectural mindset and design strategies needed to tackle complex system-level challenges. You’ll explore how to apply Modern C++ effectively in real-world environments, with a focus on making informed, deliberate tradeoffs that balance performance, maintainability, scalability, and domain-specific constraints.

This workshop is for:
Engineers making or influencing architectural decisions
Developers ready to grow into system-level leadership roles
Teams tackling large, multifaceted codebases or product families



You’ll learn to:
Apply architectural patterns using Modern C++ idioms
Break down large systems into well-defined subsystems and APIs
Reason about complexity, edge-cases, and failure modes
Evaluate design tradeoffs in real-world industry contexts
Develop a solid Theory of Operation for your systems and products

Through case studies, design critiques, and hands-on exercises, Charley will walk you through practical lessons from a range of industries. You’ll leave with techniques you can apply immediately—and a clearer understanding of what it means to be a system-level thinker in C++.

🎟️ Online. Live. Interactive.
Limited capacity to ensure engagement and personalized feedback—secure your place now.
