Distributed C++ Meetup 0x02

by Jean Guegant

Here is a quick follow-up of the event I announced in my previous post: the Distributed C++ Meetup 0x02. A quick explanation for those too lazy to click a link or scroll down a bit to read my previous post (not judging you here, I would do the same); the concept of a Distibuted C++ Meetup consists in gathering multiple C++ user groups from around the world in one event using video-conference facilities. This time we had the pleasure to bring together the Berlin, London and Stockholm Meetup groups using King’s offices.

East End Functions

by Phil Nash

There has been a recent stirring of attention, in the C++ community, for the practice of always placing the const modifier to the right of the thing it modifies. The practice has even been gifted a catchy name: East Const (which, I think, is what has stirred up the interest)…

Announcing Meeting C++ 2018

by Jens Weller

Meeting C++ returns with its 2018 conference edition! Like in the previous years, we’ll be meeting in Berlin from the 15. - 17th November!

Call for Talks will start soon, just as last year, Meeting C++ 2018 has a track for new speakers!

C++Now 2018 Opening Keynote is Lisa Lippincott

Lisa approaches languages from a mathematical point of view and thinks deeply on the meaning of programming. In this presentation [The Shape of a Program], she will encourage us to apply topology, the fundamental mathematics of space, as a way of looking at a program.

We expect C++Now to sell out again. Register immediately so you won’t miss out.

The submissions deadline is May 11 with decisions sent by July 1.

Starting a new Community at Patreon

I started doing my own videos and video interviews on YouTube last year, and to compliment that, I decided to also start a community of supporters on patreon. You’ll be able to know guests of Meeting C++ & friends ahead of time and be able to suggest potential questions to ask…
