Location: Bill and Helen Norrie Library

Join us for a special community screening of **[The Story of C++](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lI7tMxzSJ7w)** — the documentary that traces the journey of C++ from its origins to its lasting impact on the programming world.

This is a relaxed, in-person get-together. Come hang out with fellow C++ enthusiasts, watch the documentary together, and stay for drinks and conversation afterward.

## About the Documentary

Produced by CultRepo, this feature-length documentary explores the 40-year history of C++. It covers everything from its humble beginnings at Bell Labs to its standardization, the "C++ winter" of the early 2000s, and its massive revival and modernization with C++11.

The film features exclusive interviews with the engineers, standards contributors, and industry pioneers who shaped the language, including:

* Bjarne Stroustrup: Designer and original implementer of C++.
* Brian Kernighan: Bell Labs Computer Scientist and co-author of The C Programming Language.
* Alexander Stepanov: Designer of the Standard Template Library (STL) and generic programming pioneer.
* Chris Lattner: Creator of LLVM, Clang, and Swift.
* Anders Hejlsberg: Creator of C#, TypeScript, and Turbo Pascal and chief architect of Delphi.
* Herb Sutter: Chair Emeritus of the ISO C++ committee

Documentary: The Story of C++

Inceptive

**Welcome to Winnipeg C++ Developers!**

This month, we are talking about CMake. What is it? What does basic usage look like? And *why* should you use it?

This is open to those who are interested in the C++ programming language, whether you work with it professionally or as a hobby. We will begin on topic, but we will be free to diverge, even to programming languages other than C++.

If this piques your interest, then please join us!
