Bio

Dave Abrahams is a founding member of boost.org and an active participant in the ANSI/ISO C++ standardization committee. He has been a software professional since 1987, his a broad range of experience in industry including shrink-wrap software development, embedded systems design and natural language processing. He has authored eight Boost libraries and has made contributions to numerous others.

Dave made his mark on C++ standardization by developing a conceptual framework for understanding exception-safety and applying it to the C++ standard library. Dave created the first exception-safe standard library implementation and, with Greg Colvin, drafted the proposals that eventually became the standard library's exception-safety guarantees.

In 2001 he founded Boost Consulting to deliver on the promise of advanced, open-source C++ libraries, and has been happily developing C++ libraries, teaching about C++ and Boost, and nurturing the Boost community ever since.

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
