Intro to C++ Classes

This will be a somewhat fluid introduction to user defined types in C++.

Some members have mentioned an interest in learning new features of C++ while others have mentioned an interest in learning C++ as a new language for them. Last week I spoke about std::print and the prototypical "Hello World" first program.

For this meeting I'll do an introduction to user defined types in C++ through the C++ "class" keyword. The content of the meeting will vary depending on participants' interests and levels of experience. I may go over things like member aggregation, special member functions, move semantics, regularity, and template meta programming of classes.

This is an online meeting and I'll be using Microsoft Teams free service for it. This should help integrate the use of Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 into the meeting but will limit the meeting to a hard one-hour cut-off. If all goes well, I'll start the meeting at 6pm Mountain Time exactly and it will end at 7pm.

If you have any troubles getting on, please use something like the meetup group's event interface to let us know.
