August Meetup "Experience with C++11 in ArangoDB" and barbecue

Hi everybody,

in our August meetup we will have Max Neunhöffer from Cologne speaking about C++11 in arangodb.

Update: Before the talk we will have a barbecue. Think-Cell will sponsor meat and salads. Thank you Think-Cell!

Abstract:

ArangoDB is an open source, multi-model NoSQL database that is written in C++ and embeds Google's V8 engine to implement the higher levels of its functionality in JavaScript. Recently we decided to switch to C++11 for the database kernel.

In this talk I will first give a short overview of the software architecture of ArangoDB and proceed to tell you about our practical experiences with the switch to C++11. I will explain which of the parts of the "new" standard have been more important and which have been less useful, and I will report about the difficulties we encountered.
