Online C++ User Group Meetings in May 2021

by Jens Weller

The monthly overview on upcoming C++ User Group meetings. A bit later then usual, seems my talk at C++now and announcing Meeting C++ 2021 has kept me a bit too busy.

Next week Tuesday: Meeting C++ online - May - Design Patterns - Facts and Misconceptions with Klaus Iglberger. If you're interested in this topic, Klaus also gives a training on Modern C++ and Design Patterns in June.

Announcing Meeting C++ 2021 online conference!

by Jens Weller

Finally I can announce the official start of this years conference with the begin of the call for talks and the first batch of tickets available!

Meeting C++ 2021 will be from 10th - 12th November (Wed- Fri) and 100% online. Thats different from last year, when part of the planning always had to keep in mind that a hybrid event might become the "better" format due to venue contracts. This was one of the reasons last years conference was single track. Like every year the conference will run under Berlin Code of Conduct.

The most popular C++ standard features

by Jens Weller

Continuing the series about the Meeting C++ survey results with a look at the standard features. Last week I compared the ISOCPP survey to the one of Meeting C++.

When I was looking into the questions I could ask in the survey tool, it came to my mind that it would be interesting to know more about the details of standards, not just asking for which standard folks use in various ways. So in this blog post, I'm going to show you the questions about standard feature usage.

Online C++ tool fair

Similar to the job fair, I decided to host a short tool fair in April, to give the community the chance to see demos and extend their knowledge around C++ tooling!
Event will happen between 20:00 - 22 CEST.
Wonder.me works best in Chrome (only officially supported browser). The mobile app/web client may or may not work.

Mathematical constants in C++20

by Jens Weller

When I researched the library and language features of C++20 for the Meeting C++ Community survey, this feature catched my eye.

And I thought its such a nice small feature, I should mention it on the blog. As all other C++20 blog posts right now seem to be about coroutines. It also is a nice follow up on an old blog of mine: C++ & π, where I showed the various ways of obtaining pi for C++ in 2013...

Taming the power of C++ with AI

by Jens Weller

In January Bryce Adelstein Lelbach gave a talk about NDVIDIAS CUDASTL fork at my online C++ User Group. Shortly after this talk was published on YouTube I got contacted by a start up, seeking feedback on their ideas of accelerating C++ with help of GPUs and AI...

Job related results from the Meeting C++ community survey

by Jens Weller

I started a blog series about the results for 2020 of the Meeting C++ Community survey. As next week is the second online C++ Job fair, I thought I take a look at the job related questions.

This time all graphs show the result of 2020 on the left and the current result for 2021 on the left. So you can compare and see a few first changes to 2020. Mostly the results are similar though, most questions have so far around ~200 answeres in 2021. If this trend continues, 2021 is going to collect again around 1-1.5k answers per Question it seems.
