An overview on the issues face when porting my first application to Qt6
Porting my first Application from Qt5 to Qt6
by Jens Weller
From the article:
Just this week I had the opportunity to recompile one of my Qt Applications to build it with Qt6. Here is some of the results.
The application in question manages parts of the conference, and hence is written in Qt for the UI and uses SQLite as datastorage, so Qt also used for this and as I learned for a few other things too...

Improved Iterators with Ranges
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
There are more reasons to prefer ranges library above the classical Standard Template Library. The ranges iterators support unified lookup rules and provide additional safety guarantees...

Sentinels and Concepts with Ranges Algorithms
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
The ranges library in C++20 supports sentinels. Sentinels stand for the end of a range and can be regarded as generalized end iterators...

Design Patterns VS Design Principles: Factory method
by Jonathan Boccara
From the article:
Let’s examine another design pattern in our “Design Patterns VS Design Principles” series, where we relate design patterns to design principles. Today, we focus on the Factory method design pattern.
We’ll see the various forms the Factory method design pattern can take, the differences with the Abstract Factory method, and to which design principle the Factory method pattern relates to...

Several Boost authors have embarked on a project to improve the performance of boost's associative containers.
Boost.Unordered
by boost.org
About the improvements:
Boost.Unordered's new implementation of std::unordered_map (and multimap, set and multiset variants), and to extend its portfolio of available containers to offer faster, non-standard alternatives based on open addressing.
The first goal of the project has been completed in time for Boost 1.80 (due August 2022). We describe here the technical innovations introduced in boost::unordered_map that makes it the fastest implementation of std::unordered_map on the market.

Embracing Modern C++ Safely, Book Review
by Bartlomiej Filipek
From the article:
C++11 has been around for around 11 years and C++14 for 8. From my experience, I see that even today, many companies struggle to use those standards in production in the most efficient way. As always, with new stuff came benefits, risks, and increased learning effort. Fortunately, with a new book written by top C++ Experts, we have a solid guide on what is safe and what might be problematic in Modern C++.
The book is called “Embracing Modern C++ Safely”.
Let’s see what’s inside...

Projections with Ranges
by Rainer Grimm
From the article:
The algorithms of the ranges library are lazy, can work directly on the container, and can easily be composed. But they have more to offer: projections. A projection is a mapping of a set into a subset. Let me show you in this post what that means...
