Recent C++ blog posts worth reading and my CppCon2016 presentation submissions...

I've submitted two session proposals to the upcoming CppCon2016, the C++ Conference. The talks that I have submitted are "A Tale of Two WG21 ISO C++ Language Proposals: Concepts and Unified Call Syntax" and "UI prototyping and Internet of Things development for multiple devices using an enhanced Clang-based C++compiler ". I will learn before the end of June whether my talks are accepted. As part of my presentation research, I have been reading a lot of C++ blog posts and articles. Out of the many articles, here are just a few (of the many great posts) that are definitely worth reading.
