CppCast Episode 10: SQLpp11 with Roland Bock

by Rob Irving and Jason Turner

About the interviewee:

Roland Bock is Head of Development at PPRO Financial Ltd, an FCA regulated e-Money institute offering prepaid MasterCard card programs and comprehensive financial solutions for international electronic payment transactions. Since 2008 he has been using SQL in C++. Being unhappy with the string-based approach of most SQL libraries, he decided to do something about it and developed a type-safe EDSL for SQL in C++: sqlpp11. In his spare time Roland is working on sqlpp11, experimenting with Concepts Lite and trying to write a proposal about compile-time configurable names for C++ standard. He lives and codes in Munich (Germany).

5 awesome C++ libraries we use--Edouard

An interesting post on interesting librairies:

5 awesome C++ libraries we use

by Edouard

From the article:

This is an opinionated post about five libraries we use in the production code of quasardb.

We of course use many more great libraries (for example Boost.ASIO which is not listed here). Maybe those five libraries are not the most important, but I felt they deserved some special highlight as they are not so well-known or understood...

Announcing Cat: a C++14 Functional Library -- Nicola Bonelli

By Marco Arena | Apr 29, 2015 07:19 AM | Tags: community c++14

Cat is meowing! A new open source C++14 Functional Library has been released:

Cat: a C++14 Functional Library

by Nicola Bonelli

From the article:

Cat is a C++14 library, inspired by Haskell. Cat aims at pushing the functional programming approach in C++ to another level. [...] On one hand it works for filling the gap in the language with respect to functional programming. [...] On the other hand Cat promotes the use of generic programming with type classes, inspired by Category Theory.

biicode Dependency Manager released to Open Source

By Felix Petriconi | Apr 15, 2015 11:24 PM | Tags: community

biicode just released the client code of their C++ Dependency Manager into OpenSource.

C/C++ Dependency Manager

From the Website:

biicode manages your project’s dependencies so you can use the libs you need (Curl, Catch, Fann, OpenSSL, OpenCV, POCO, Boost, Libuv, GTest ...) as you wish within your project. biicode uses CMake to configure and build your projects and it is compatible with many IDEs, version control systems and compilers.

C++11 is the second "most loved" language/technology on StackOverflow according to the survey

By Adrien Hamelin | Apr 14, 2015 11:21 AM | Tags: community c++11

In case you missed it, an interesting data point about how much programmers appreciate the improvements in C++11 (and 14) compared to C++98. As Stroustrup frequently says, C++11 feel like a new language. Note “love” means in the sense of “enjoy programming in”… more people are willing to say they enjoy programming in modern C++, and C++11 truly was a turning point and progress is continuing:

Come see a nice product review:

Boost.Spirit + Flatbuffers + Catch + Biicode + CLion + Github

by Max Galkin

From the article:

This weekend I’m test-driving several new technologies. OK, OK, maybe not so new for everyone else, but new for me. I’m trying to write a parser for the Flatbuffers IDL grammar using Boost.Spirit, I’m referencing Boost using Biicode, I’m testing the code using Catch, I’m editing the project in CLion, and I’m pushing the results to Github yacoder/flatbuffers-with-spirit!
