Name: Conan Package Manager for C++ in Practice
Start: 2021-03-30T19:00:00+01:00

This month we welcome Jerry Wiltse from the Conan development team, who's going to give us a tour of the Conan package manager for C++. We also have a shorter talk from Frank Haferkorn.

As usual we'll meet virtually. Venue details will be updated soon.
Please note that times are UK times (slightly confusing as meetup just says GMT+1. The UK changes from GMT to BST just before the event, so if you're looking at it before that you might think it means CET!).

Agenda:

19:00 Phil Nash - 'Intro and News'

19:10 Frank Haferkorn - 'The Compound Block "LOOP" - and some implications'

The compound group "LOOP" is a C / C ++ language extension..
The introduced compound statements loop() {}, typed_loop() {}, named_loop_up() {} and named_loop_down() {} are reductions of the regular for(;;){} compound. They will allow writing different algorithms and will increase teachability of C/C++.

19:30 short break

19:45 Jerry Wiltse - 'Conan Package Manager for C++ in Practice'

The Conan package manager for C++ is useful in both simple and advanced development environments. Join the Conan team to see it in action, with a simple demo using OSS libraries and tools from ConanCenter, and a more complete demo showing how to create and upload a package including different binaries for different platforms to a private repository. Also, learn about many other unique and innovative advanced Conan features along the way.

20:45 Finish and socialising in Remo

Do stay on for the informal chat in Remo, after the talks.

About the speakers:

Jerry Wiltse is a member of the Conan development team, and has been dedicated to build engineering for C and C++ since 2016. He is an avid open-source enthusiast but also deeply focused on enterprise development environments. He is also the narrator and creator of the Conan learning track on the JFrog Academy.

Frank.Haferkorn is a German Physiker, senior software developer and founder or Head-Of-Science of the inventor bureau [OGIS] OatGrain-InnovationS. He belongs to the generation that has seen the whole development of desktop computers (from the CBM-PET) and has worked as a professional software developer in the industry since graduating from the Technical University of Munich in 1995 until today.
His areas of expertise are Modern C ++ (>=2020), algorithms, parallel computing technology, physics (electrodynamics / QM / QED / SRT / ART and the psychoacoustics of Spatial Hearing). He has also worked in the field of semantic web / linked data. Currently he digs into the Raspberry-PI technology.
In addition to smaller publications, he also “draws” his own thoughts on the further development of C ++. The use of elaborate tools of all kinds is his hobby and covers the whole spectrum from Visual Studio to Qt and Linux. To compensate, Frank can be found as an artist drawing, composing and as a sound designer for spatial audio.
