Highlighting the free Student and Support tickets for Meeting C++ 2021

By Meeting C++ | Sep 16, 2021 04:25 AM | Tags: meetingcpp community

Like in the last years, Meeting C++ hosts two programs to allow students, under represented folks and others to participate in the conference.

Highlighting the Student and Support tickets for Meeting C++ 2021

by Jens Weller

From the article:

With the talk listing published, and the schedule coming soon, I'd like to highlight the student and support tickets for Meeting C++ 2021.

For a few years now Meeting C++ has hosted programs to give students, underrepresented folks and those who can't afford a ticket access to the conference. This is supported through the ticket sales and some times sponsorships...

CppCon 2019 Compiled C++ Coding Standards--Valentin Galea

By Adrien Hamelin | Sep 15, 2021 01:07 PM | Tags: community

Registration is now open for CppCon 2021, which starts on October 24 and will be held both in person and online. To whet your appetite for this year’s conference, we’re posting videos of some of the top-rated talks from our most recent in-person conference in 2019 and our online conference in 2020. Here’s another CppCon talk video we hope you will enjoy – and why not register today for CppCon 2021 to attend in person, online, or both!

Compiled C++ Coding Standards

by Valentin Galea

Summary of the talk:

Coding conventions, guidelines and standards are a perennial effort of software development. Lots of work goes into preparing and writing them but arguably less in following them - partly because these are documents usually maintained outside of main development, so they evolve separately and often retroactively.

We will show a novel model whereby the coding standard chosen by a team is a 'live' source code file integrated into a production repository so that it participates in compilation. This immediately brings a couple of advantages that we will explore in detail, as well as the implications it has in the context of a full team of developers.

As a practical example, the coding standard files of Splash Damage - a game development company - will be shown and discussed, detailing the various C++ aspects they deal with it and the techniques encouraged therein. Going further than the code, we'll talk about the human factor and how standards are written, evolved and championed across a large company in the face of different constraints between projects and teams.

C++20 String Formatting Library: An Overview and Use with Custom Types

by Marc Gregoire

Summary of the talk:

C++20 introduced a nice formatting library with std::format(). This session will explain what the formatting library provides, how to use all of its functionality, and most importantly, how you can customize it so that you can use formatting strings that include your very own custom types and custom formatting parameters, and of course, how to handle errors.

CPPP call for proposal closes September 30th -- Fred Tingaud

The Call for Proposals for the CPPP conference that will be fully online December 1-3 2021 is open.

CPPP call for proposals is open until September 30th.

By Fred Tingaud

From the article:

The proposal portal at https://proposal.cppp.fr was designed with new speakers in mind and each field comes with advices on how to write your proposal to increase your chances. If you are thinking about proposing your first talk, we hope that it will encourage you to do it.

CppCon 2019 A C++ Approach to Physical Units--Mateusz Pusz

A C++ Approach to Physical Units

by Mateusz Pusz

Summary of the talk:

This talk presents a new C++20 library for Dimensional Analysis and Physical Units handling. The essential requirements of the library are user-friendliness, compile-time safety, no runtime overhead, and easy extensibility. The syntax of the library is built around a few easy to learn concepts and strictly checked at compile time, which makes it easy to learn and very forgiving for the novice.

The talk presents motivating examples of why we need such a library, compares the library with other similar products on the market, describes the basic usage and interface, and highlights the benefits of the design choices made.

The talk is also a great showcase of practical usage of new C++20 features that make the library interface easier to use, maintain, and extend. Concepts, contracts, class types provided as non-type template parameters, and other C++20 features make a huge difference in how we can design Modern C++ code.

Meeting C++ 2021: choosing the online platform

By Meeting C++ | Sep 8, 2021 08:10 AM | Tags: meetingcpp community

Meeting C++ reveals on which online platform the conference and the online C++ User Group will be hosted this year.

Choosing Hubilo as an online platform for Meeting C++ 2021

by Jens Weller

From the article:

During July and August I did compare many online platforms, to choose the one to host this years online conference and the events of Meeting C++ online in. The winner is Hubilo.

Its been a difficult and time consuming process to compare the various platforms and get a feel for what online events will have a look and feel in 21/22 when choosing a certain platform. I'd like to be able to host all formats of the online User Group in one platform: the talks, the panels and especially the online fairs for C++ jobs/recruiting and tooling. This years conference will host all these event types too!

Meeting C++ has opened this years call for sponsors

Meeting C++ 2021: looking for sponsors

by Jens Weller

From the article:

With the online platform being selected, its finally time to open the call for sponsors for Meeting C++ 2021!

Sponsoring is an easy way to support the work of Meeting C++, as my work is mostly funded through the ticketsales and sponsorships of the yearly Meeting C++ conference. So maybe your employer is interested in sponsoring Meeting C++ 2021?

CppCon 2020 Building an Intuition for Composition--Sy Brand

Building an Intuition for Composition

by Sy Brand

Summary of the talk:

If you're fed up of reading articles about "monads" and "endofunctors" that don't give you an understanding of how they can actually help your C++ programming, this talk is for you.

Function and data composition are becoming increasingly important in C++ due to features like ranges, continuable futures, and new error handling techniques. Using real-world examples and C++ programming idioms, I'll help you build an intuition for the mathematical concepts which underpin these so that you can make the most of them in your code and build your own abstractions built on the same foundations.
