Join us for an evening of modern C++ learning and networking! This month, we’ll be watching the highly anticipated CppCon 2025 talk by the creator of C++ himself, **Bjarne Stroustrup**. Attendees will be able to ask brief questions during the talk and longer ones in the discussion after.

**The Talk**: Concept-based Generic Programming
In this talk, Bjarne dives into the evolution and power of Generic Programming in C++. He explores how Concepts allow us to write code that is general, efficient, and flexible without the "bloat" often associated with abstraction.

**Key topics include:**

* **Preventing Errors:** Using concepts to handle implicit narrowing and range errors (e.g., `spannable` and `number` types).
* **Modern Techniques:** How to make generic code as simple to write as non-generic code.
* **The Future:** A look ahead at **Static Reflection** (expected in C++26) and how it enables generating descriptors for class members.
* **Design Philosophy:** Why Generic Programming and Object-Oriented Programming are complementary, not mutually exclusive.

Whether you are new to Concepts or looking to deepen your understanding of C++ design principles, this is a great opportunity to learn from the language's author.

**Agenda:**

* **6:30 PM:** Doors Open & Networking
* **7:00 PM:** Video Screening starts
* **Post-Screening:** Group Discussion & Networking (until \~8:30 PM)

**Location & Instructions:**
We are meeting at the Business Center of Lenox Burnet. Please RSVP to ensure space is available.

* **Entrance:** Look for the glass door facing Burnet Road.
* **Directions:** The Business Center is located to the right of the leasing office.
* **Access:** If the door is locked or you don't see us, please post a comment on this Meetup page, and someone will come to let you in.

See you there!
