I hope to motivate again many visiting folks to start attending a near by C++ User Group, or to start their own User Group, if it does not yet exist.
There are 5 new C++ User Groups: Core C++, Israel, Brisbane, Moscow, Lissabon, Canterbury...

Common C++ Modules TS Misconceptions -- Boris Kolpackov
An illuminating "mini-FAQ" on a very current major feature progressing in ISO C++:
Common C++ Modules TS Misconceptions
by Boris Kolpackov
From the article:
It has become fashionable to criticize C++ Modules TS. My problem with this bandwagon criticism is that at best it's based on cursory reading of the specification but more commonly on just hearing others' knee-jerk reactions. Oftentimes the criticizing post cannot even get the terminology right. So in this article I would like to refute the most common Modules TS misconceptions...
- I cannot have everything in a single file
- I cannot export macros from modules
- I cannot modularize existing code without touching it
- No build system will be able to support modules

Better code understanding with Sourcetrail
by Bartlomiej Filipek
From the article:
I’m exploring the tool, and overall I am impressed! It works very well; the setup is easy to do, there’s a lot of help, beautiful and dynamic diagrams (even with smooth animations), under active development… what else would I want?

How not_null can improve your code? -- Bartlomiej Filipek
Let’s investigate what "not_null" (from the Core Guidelines/Guideline Support Library) can do for us.
How not_null can improve your code?
by Bartlomiej Filipek
From the article:
I believe "not_null" can help in many places. It won’t do the magic on its own, but at least it forces us to rethink the design. Functions might become smaller (as they won’t have to check for nulls), but on the other hand, the caller might require being updated.

CppCast Episode 124: Build Systems and Modules with Isabella Muerte
by Rob Irving and Jason Turner
About the interviewee:
Isabella Muerte is a C++ Bruja and Build System Trash Goblin. She taught herself to program by writing a build system and immediately regretting the decision. Her first computer ran Windows Millennium Edition and her parents forbade her from upgrading to anything else for 5 years. She is still bitter about this. In her spare time, she is into open source software, tattoos, computer keyboards, and making fake cover bands like 'Rage Against the Abstract Machine'
