18:30 : Book Launch: C++ Brain Teasers by Anders Schau Knatten

Welcome to the official launch of the book C++ Brain Teasers! This is the latest book in the Brain Teasers series from The Pragmatic Programmers, written by OCPPUG's own Anders Schau Knatten, who has also served as the NDC TechTown quizmaster for the last few years.
The book consists of 25 short C++ programs, and the point is to guess what the output is, and why the language works like that. Much like CppQuiz.org and the TechTown pub quizzes, except with more elaborate explanations of the underlying principles of the language. The puzzles were selected to be more cohesive and relevant to real-world uses, and the explanations include lots of practical tips to write better and safer code in practice. More than just a quiz book, it's designed to get you started thinking about how C++ works under the hood and how to use the language in a better way.
The event will start with an interview by Olve Maudal, then we'll do one chapter as a mini-quiz and Anders will read that chapter. There will also be a few physical copies for sale, as well as a discount on the e-book.
