Both Keynotes from Meeting C++ 2015 are online!
by Jens Weller
From the article:
Great news: Since yesterday, both of the keynotes from this years Meeting C++ conference are on youtube! Both keynote speakers chose to speak on a specific topic, and delivered very well. There is also a playlist for Meeting C++ 2015.

Vittorio Romeo expands the Dive into C++14 series with a new video covering the implementation of a generic "unique resource" wrapper.
About the tutorial:
This new tutorial covers the implementation of a generic "unique resource" class, with the same ownership semantics as
std::unique_ptr.
std::unique_ptris not limited to pointer-like handles - by adapting other kinds of handles to the `NullablePointer` concept, it can still be used. Nevertheless, for educational purposes and to understand the commonalities between resource types and handle types, we're going to implement our ownstd::unique_ptr-like generic "unique wrapper".The video shows the implementation of the resource class and the abstraction of the behavior of several example resource types (heap-allocated pointers, OpenGL VBOs, int-based-handle APIs).
All the code is available on GitHub. The code segments are thoroughly commented and can be read as a tutorial without watching the video, if preferred.
