26th C++ group meetup - 5-18-2021

Hello all,

San Diego C++ meetup #26 - virtual meeting - Tuesday 5-18-2021

Welcome slides – goals we would like to achieve in San Diego C++ Meetup

This meeting:

• A Practical Approach to Error Handling

Abstract: Every program may encounter errors, some originating from internal bugs in the program, others coming from the environment the program is operating in. Ignoring all errors will make the program utterly unreliable, while treating every conceivable one introduces lots of extra complexity with little benefit. At think-cell, we have been using and refining our own principled approach to error handling, which we have not seen elsewhere. This lecture teaches our method, so that you in your next project, too, can write more reliable software with less effort.

Arno Schödl, think-cell Founder & CTO:
Arno is responsible for the design, architecture and development of all our software products. He oversees think-cell's R&D team, Quality Assurance and Customer Care.
Before founding think-cell, Arno worked at Microsoft Research and McKinsey. Arno studied computer science and management and holds a Ph.D. from the Georgia Institute of Technology with a specialization in Computer Graphics.

If time permits:

• Declare? define?
• Would this compile? From a linkedin post
• Walletfox const, capture and lambda.
• 2 years of San Diego C++ Books recommendations - a recap!
