A post highlighting some of the talks that let you learn about Modern C++ at Meeting C++ 2024
Learn Modern C++ at Meeting C++ 2024
by Jens Weller
From the article:
I think this is what should you get excited the most, C++20 is making its way through the compiler implementations and you actually can apply this to your own code base. The top voted talk this year reflects this, in C++ Modules - getting started today Andreas Weis will show you how Modules are now available with the big 3 compilers.

Meeting C++ offers free online and onsite tickets through their student and support programs. This is supported through the ticket sales for Meeting C++ 2024.
Highlighting the student and support tickets for Meeting C++ 2024
by Jens Weller
From the article:
Like every year, I'd like to point towards the programs for those that can't afford to pay for a ticket for Meeting C++ 2024.
And let me start with thanking those that enable these programs through their ticket buying: the attendees and sponsors of Meeting C++ 2024! With the schedule published, I'd like to highlight the student and support tickets for Meeting C++ 2024. 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 year for the first time you can choose to register either for onsite or online for these programs. A limited amount of tickets for Berlin will be available, depending on the ticket sale in October. So incase you registered for onsite but are not chosen for a ticket, then you'll have a chance to an online ticket...

Meeting C++ now offers 4 trainings that align with Meeting C++ 2024, and will be held in the last week of November.
Adding C++ trainings to Meeting Cpp 2024
by Jens Weller
From the article:
Trainings listing
C++ for C Developers - Migrating from C to C++ - a two day training by Slobodan Dmitrovic starting November 25th
These 4 trainings focus on various important current aspects of C++. From the migration to C++ from C, which is also a great course if you migrate to Modern C++ from "C with classes" like code. Or a refresher on unit testing by Kevlin Henney himself. Nicolai Josuttis gives a two day training, which is also available as single days: on the first day generic programming with templates and auto is bringing you a referesher, while focusing on C++20 Concepts, Ranges and Views on the next day. I've made the decision that prices for trainings are now fixed, half/full day trainings are 499 € and two day trainings are 999 €, this already includes taxes and all fees from the ticketshop. Attending the trainings will let you learn great new ways to think about your code and it gives support Meeting C++!
Program with GUTs - a half day training by Kevlin Henney on November 25th
Generic programming in C++ with templates and auto - full day training by Nicolai Josuttis on November 28th
Concepts, Ranges, and Views - The New Way of Programming in C++ - full day training by Nicolai Josuttis on November 29th

A few weeks ago the voting for Meeting C++ 2024 started, contribute with your own voting session to the program selection of this years Meeting C++!
Also, as the most recent announcement, early bird tickets are on sale until August 11th, the day the voting ends:
Early Bird Tickets for Meeting C++ 2024 are available until August 11!
by Jens Weller
From the article:
Quick reminder that the early bird tickets for Meeting C++ 2024 are going to be availble until the end of the voting on the talks!
Which is August 11th! Its also possible that early bird tickets sell out before this. Currently only the hotel ticket and the online ticket are available as early bird. The onsite early bird ticket sold out a few weeks ago.

Like in the last two years Meeting C++ is organizing an event about technical speaking at C++ conferences, aiming to help new speakers with their talks and give everyone a chance to pick up something to improve their talks! The call for talks for Meeting C++ 2024 is running until June 25th!
Speaking about C++
Organized by Jens Weller
From the event description:
This event will focus on the process of creating technical talks for the C++ community. Various speakers will share their views on how to submit, prepare and give talks to the C++ community in the form of lightning talks and a panel.

A post on how to provide a pointer to a Qt Model/View or other APIs storing pointers to their data without using shared_ptr or unique_ptr for the actual object.
Providing a stable memory address
by Jens Weller
From the article:
Some APIs allow you to store a pointer to your data element. This is used to access additional information from your types to display them in Model/View Architecture.
A while ago I showed how you can implement a tree with shared_ptr and enable_shared_from_this and then display this in QTreeView. And when working on my current project I knew this problem would come around again. Maybe not for a tree and a tree view, but I'll clearly need to have some way to have ui panels display and edit my data classes and store a stable memory adress as a pointer in Qt models. Back in 2015 the Qt5 example still used a pointer allocated with raw new for this, in Qt6 the example uses unique_ptr. Using shared_ptr for this back in 2015 was a good decision, and the code works very well. For the moment I don't see that my current project would need to make use of enable_shared_from_this, so using unique_ptr would be a good option...
