Welcome to GoingNative #66! This is an exciting episode, as we're happy to share our massive C++ Standard conformance progress for the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler that ships with Visual Studio 2017 version 15.7.

In this episode of GoingNative, Steve Carroll talks to Brent Rector and Kenny Kerr from the Windows team about C++/WinRT!C++/WinRT is a standard C++ header-based library that takes WinRT APIs and exposes them as C++ classes that you can use in your application in a natural and familiar way. You can consume it from any standard C++ application and is the easiest way to get access to the modern Windows APIs. C++/WinRT is designed to offer an improved alternative to C++/CX and works with any major standard C++ compiler on Windows. It shipped inside the Windows 10 SDK v17025 for the first time. This means that as long as you have a version of the Windows 10 SDK installed that is at least 17025, you can simply include the appropriate headers from within any C++ project and start writing modern C++ code using the Windows API.You can learn more about C++/WinRT here: https://moderncpp.com/You can also check out the CppCon 2017 talk: C++/WinRT and the future of C++ on Windows

We are back after a long break with GoingNative #63, where Steve Carroll chats with Andrew Pardoe about the Visual Studio 2017 Build Tools and daily compiler builds on myget.org!The Build Tools is an alternative wau to get the compiler, libraries, and Windows SDKs for C++ development without having to install the IDE. Great for build servers, CI servers, and other environments where an IDE is not necessary. You can download the Build Tools at: http://aka.ms/buildtools.We also now offer a way to get the very latest "hot off the press" version of the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler at: https://visualcpp.myget.org/gallery/dailymsvc. If you want to test out the very latest features without having to wait, and give feedback on how the compiler is doing, this is the way to do it.

In this episode of GoingNative, Steve Carroll talks to Rich Chiodo and Nick Uhlenhuth about the C++ unit testing experience, and the latest investments we've made to support CTest, Google Test, and Boost.Test.Check out the following blog posts on Google Test & Boost.Test:Unit Testing: Test Adapter for Google Test goes in-box!Unit Testing: Test Adapter for Boost.Test goes in-box!

Happy 50th episode! This episode covers our new, more advanced code optimizer for the Visual C++ compiler back-end. It provides many improvements for both code size and performance, bringing the optimizer to a new standard of quality expected from a modern native compiler.This is the first public release and we are encouraging people to try it and provide suggestions and feedback about potential bugs. The official release of the new optimizer is expected to be Visual Studio Update 3, while the release available today is unsupported and mostly for testing purposes.Read our blog post to get the details!
