The Growth of Modern C++ Support
by Jonathan Adamczewski
From the article:
I’ve charted the numbers from Christophe’s data for C++11, C++11 Concurrency, C++14 and C++17.

This small post is for those programmers who use Twitter or are just about to start doing this. I'm sure developers will find some useful information here.
Twitter for C++ Programmers
by Andrey Karpov
From the article:
So, you are a C++ programmer. If you are wondering if you can find something interesting for yourself on Twitter, I have a few tips for you.

While we wait for CppCon 2015 in September, we’re featuring videos of some of the 100+ talks from CppCon 2014. Here is today’s feature:
The Canonical Class
by Michael Caisse
Summary of the talk:
It was a simpler time. A period in which every college student and learn-C++-in-a-weekend duffer could write a class with the assuredness that it would behave as desired when assigned and copied. There was a check list. Complete the checklist, add some domain specific behaviour, bake in the regression oven, and you were done.
Enter C++11 with its fancy new use of the delete keyword, additional applications of explicit, rvalue references, and some perfect forwarding. How are you to write a "simple" class? Should you include a swap? What does movable mean and are there expected semantics? When is the noexcept specifier used?
During this session we will explore the boilerplate of a C++11 class. The session will touch on rvalue references, move semantics, perfect forwarding, explicit, noexcept, initializer lists, and more as it applies to producing the desired semantics for our classes and structs.

Generic parallel programming for scientific and technical applications
by Guntram Berti
From the talk description:
Technical and scientific applications dealing with a high computational load today face the challenge to match the increasingly parallel nature of current and future hardware. The talk shows how the increased complexity of software can be controlled by using generic programming technologies. The process and its advantages are introduced using many concrete examples...

Sean Parent just published via Twitter this amazing short piece of code.
for_each_argument
by Sean Parent
The code is:
template <class F, class... Args>
void for_each_argument(F f, Args&&... args) {
[](...){}((f(std::forward<Args>(args)), 0)...);
}

In this next article Arne Mertz describes different type casts.
A Casting Show
by Arne Mertz
From the article:
In C++ there are two ways of type conversions: implicit and explicit type conversions. The latter are called type casts and they are what this post is about.

In just 2 and a half hours the Community Planning Session starts:
Community Planning Session
by Jens Weller
From the article:
The Community Planning Session will be at the #meetingcpp channel in Freenode! Join us from 17:00 CET for the discussion on how to get started & run your own C++ User Group! It does not matter if you are already active in a user group or want to get started, there will be plenty of room for discussions!
The session is one hour long, but you can join the chat anytime later in the evening, usually we'll hang out till late night in EU.

Testdriven C++ with Catch
by Phil Nash
From the talk description:
C++ has been notorious for being a second class citizen when it comes to test frameworks. There are plenty of them but they tend to be fiddly to set-up and ceremonious to use. Many of them attempt to follow the xUnit template without respect for the language environment they are written for. Catch is an attempt to cut through all of that...
