Meetup #2: Tim Song

Please join us for our second official C++ Singapore meetup!

This time, we have someone really special coming over — Tim Song.

A member of the ISO C++ Standards Committee, he spends most of his committee time helping standard library proposals get into shape and fixing bugs in the library specification. He is the author or co-author of a number of ranges features in C++23 and C++26, as well as more than 150 library defect reports. He is also an administrator on cppreference and a frequent participant in the C++ tags on StackOverflow.

👉 In a previous life, Tim worked on modeling gene expression in dividing budding yeast (S. cerevisiae) cells, for which he earned a Ph.D. in computational biology and bioinformatics.

✅ JSON and Back Again: Exploring C++26 reflection

One of the biggest and most exciting C++ features is reflection. In this talk, we'll work through the examples that showcases the power of the feature by using reflection to serialize a struct into JSON and deserialize JSON back into a struct. Along the way, we'll also see a few new C++26 language features and common patterns in reflection code.

✅ Ask Me Anything!

An AMA w/ Tim, where the audience can ask all things C++!

📸 Note: Photographs will be captured during the event for future promotional activities.
