Revisiting the BlackBerry 10 NDK

I've been looking at the BlackBerry 10 NDK the last weeks, and did write about it to share some thoughts and results.

Revisiting the BlackBerry 10 NDK

by Jens Weller

From the article:

The last few weeks I did look again at the BlackBerry 10 NDK, as a client had asked for help and training. I offered to adapt my Qt Introduction course to the BlackBerry plattform, and offered my advice...

Quick Q: Are there significant differences between boost::bind and std::bind? -- StackOverflow

By Blog Staff | Jul 1, 2013 01:58 PM | Tags: intermediate boost

A few minutes ago on SO:

Should I be seeing significant differences between std::bind and boost::bind?

I'm exploring the support for C++11 on the 4.7 branch of g++ (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.7.3-2ubuntu~12.04, to be specific) and I seem to be finding differences. In particular, if I comment out the #include of boost/bind.hpp and systematically replace occurrences of boost::bind with std::bind in the Boost ASIO async client example (taken from http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_45_0/doc/html/boost_asio/example/http/client/async_client.cpp), the program no longer compiles. Any explanation for this?
