The fourth part of my series about developing applications with C++ using Qt and boost:
Menus and Widgets in Qt
by Jens Weller
From the article:
Lets start with how Qt sees and handles menus. You can easily create a window menu in the RAD Editor of QtCreator, and then add a slot for its triggered() signal. But for a context menu...

From the cppcon.org announcement:
2015 Program Additions
Most of this fall’s program is already online, but we are still working on it. Today we are announcing three new sessions and a panel.
Herb Sutter will be presenting “Writing Good C++14 By Default.” Herb’s session will build on Bjarne Stroustrup’s keynote of the previous day on “Writing Good C++14.”
Chandler Carruth, C++ Language and Compiler Lead at Google, will be presenting “Tuning C++: Benchmarks, and Compilers, and CPUs! Oh My!”
Sumant Tambe will be presenting “Reactive Stream Processing in Industrial IoT using DDS and Rx.cpp,” which includes a live demo of a distributed complex event processing system for Internet of Things.
Our Monday evening panel will be “Grill the Committee,” featuring the opportunity for audience members to question members of the ISO C++ committee. We’ve not yet identified the panel members, but last year’s panel featured a dozen committee members and we’ll have a similar panel this year.

Have you registered for CppCon 2015 in September? Don’t delay – Registration is open now.
While we wait for this year’s event, we’re featuring videos of some of the 100+ talks from CppCon 2014 for you to enjoy. Here is today’s feature:
Introduction to Undodb
by Julian Smith
Summary of the talk:
UndoDB's performance and low memory consumption allows you to step your application backward, as well as forward, faster than any other commercial or open-source reversible debugger. By stepping back in your program, setting a watchpoint or replaying non-deterministic bugs, you can get straight to the root cause of the bugs upsetting your customers, decreasing your productivity and slowing your software releases.

The 3rd entry in my series about building applications with C++ using Qt and Boost:
Building factories in C++ with boost::factory
by Jens Weller
From the article:
boost has a small library focusing on the creation of factories as functional objects, so that boost::factory is part of boost::functional. The library offers...

In September, well-known software trainers KDAB, will visit Boston, Chicago, Austin and the Bay Area with a 2 day training class designed for seasoned C++ users on “What’s new in C++11 and C++14?”.
About the Training:
What’s in it for me?
The importance of C++11/C++14 in the C++ ecosystem is growing fast and inevitably will become the version most used before long. Every professional developer should invest in learning it and introducing its benefits into projects.
C++11 and C++14 bring a large range of new features that make development safer, faster, easier and more fun. Once you have tried features like lambda functions, range-based for loops, the auto keyword and the new initialization syntax, you won’t want to go back.
You will also learn many more advanced features like variadic templates, rvalue reference and of course the new standard library additions like multithreading classes, smart pointers, regular expressions and new containers and algorithms.
Course topics include both the language and the standard library changes introduced in C++11, as well as the changes from C++14, all of which changes are clearly marked in the material in case you do not yet have a C++14-capable compiler.
See the table of contents for the detailed list.
This compressed, in-depth 2 day training covers all the topics you will get from our regular 3 day training, so bring your laptop, and be ready for an exciting ride.
Sign up now and give your C++ knowledge a gigantic boost.

Practical Type Erasure
by Cheinan Marks
Summary of the talk:
Type erasure looks like a neat concept, but what are its real life uses? This talk will briefly show the inner workings of type erasure, and demonstrate a real working implementation of a configuration system from public domain production code. Uses and pitfalls of type erasure will also be covered.
