Realtime C++ app dev with graphical state machines in Visual Studio

About this event

Code RealTime is an extension for Visual Studio Code for developing event-driven, stateful, realtime applications in C++.
Such applications consist of a network of objects which run autonomously and concurrently and that communicate by means of exchanging messages.
Each object has a state machine that describes how it changes over time, typically by receiving messages from other objects.

Coding these applications directly in C++ can be challenging and error-prone due to the lack of suitable high-level abstractions in C++. Code RealTime addresses
this by supporting the Art language, a domain-specific language specifically designed for developing this kind of applications. Art is a textual language, but also provides
graphical diagrams, such as state diagrams. It adds several useful concepts on top of C++, such as capsules, state machines and protocols. It has no overlap with C++,
and keeps you in full power and freedom to use everything from modern C++, including any third-party libraries, when developing your applications.

Come to this session to learn about the special challenges involved in creating stateful realtime applications, and how Code RealTime can help by raising the abstraction level,
increasing the level of automation by means of automatic code generation, and provide as-you-type analysis to detect potential problems as early as possible.
