Anti-IF idioms in C++ -- Marco Arena

By Marco Arena | Nov 28, 2014 09:46 AM | Tags: intermediate community c++14 c++11

I'm showing interactive examples of "anti-IF" idioms in C++, inspired by C# snippets which Claudio Pattarello proposed at the Italian Agile Day 2014.

Anti-IF idioms in C++

by Marco Arena

From the article:

In this post I’d like to show you how to rewrite these idioms in C++, starting from a C# snippet. And the resulting code is pretty much identical. [...] I'm not saying "this is the best thing you can do in C++". [...] Sure, we have specific idioms in our favorite language but I think it’s lovely that we are able to reuse the same code from other languages with a little effort. And this is also appealing for other programmers who want to experience C++, maybe by starting coding idioms they know. ...

First community planning session was a full success

By Meeting C++ | Sep 19, 2014 11:35 AM | Tags: user groups community

Yesterday I held the first planning session for local C++ communities at the #meetingcpp chat at freenode.My plan is to make this a monthly online meeting, where new user groups can be planned and existing user groups can exchange and connect.

Yesterday I held the first planning session for local C++ communities at the #meetingcpp chat at freenode.My plan is to make this a monthly online meeting, where new user groups can be planned and existing user groups can exchange and connect. As this was the first time, and I just returned from CppCon, so I only could announce it a day before. Yet it was a good start, especially the contact to the brazilian C++ User Group is great to have.
