About us

This Meetup is for C++ developers interested in graph algorithms, graph-based systems, and high-performance graph processing. We focus on practical graph modeling, traversal, optimization, and real-world use cases across domains like routing, simulation, networking, compilers, and data analysis.

Discussions are framework-agnostic, but Boost Graph is often used as a reference implementation due to its unique strength: decoupling graph algorithms from data structures, enabling highly reusable, zero-overhead, and customizable graph code.

Sessions include technical talks, case studies, live demos, and open discussions about performance, design trade-offs, tooling gaps, and the future of graph development in modern C++.

Boost Graph Basics: Hands-On Workshop
Thu, Feb 5 · 7:00 PM CET
Cocoon Space : salles de réunion paris, location salles et co-meeting, 11 Av. Philippe Auguste, Paris, FR
Description:

Dive into the world of graph algorithms in C++ with the Boost Graph Library (BGL).

19:00 – Welcome
19:15 – Presentation: Boost Graph Library Basics
Defining graphs, adding vertices and edges, traversals with BFS and DFS, shortest paths with Dijkstra... The goal is to understand the key concepts and the generic, high-performance philosophy behind the BGL.
20:00 – Interactive Session: Your Projects and Use Cases
Open discussion about the graph algorithms and methods participants actually use. Share experiences, explore practical solutions in C++, and get collective feedback. This is the time to ask questions, present ideas, and experiment with simple examples. Lightning Talks welcome, just ask!
21:00 – Closing
Wrap-up and next steps for continuing your exploration of graphs in C++.

Who Should Attend:
C++ developers, software engineers, and anyone working with or interested in graph algorithms and high-performance graph libraries. Bring your questions, ideas, and curiosity!

Requirement: Laptop
