Next BeCPP UG Meeting Planned For November 4th, 2013
The next meeting of the Belgian C++ Users Group is planned for Monday November 4th, 2013 at 18:00 at LMS International, a Siemens Business.
LMS International ( http://www.lmsintl.com/ ) is sponsoring this event by providing the location, drinks and catering.
This time, there will be one speaker, giving two presentations of one hour on one subject. The agenda is as follows:
- 18:00: Sandwiches.
- 18:30: Session 1: Strings and String Manipulation in C++, Part 1 (Lieven de Cock) Once there were c-arrays, evolution brought us std::string. This made life easier, and less manual reimplementation was needed because of the power std::string brought to the table. Nevertheless we still keep on reimplementing basic and advanced string manipulation functionality. By this continuously reinventing the wheel we spend a lot of time fixing the same mistakes, while out there are tried and tested and proven libraries. C++11 also brings more power, but we will focus on boost string manipulations. Basic manipulations, like replace, find, erase, split, join, trim, …, next to lexical_cast, boost tokenizer, regex (both boost and std) will be explained and show cased. Next to the lexical_cast we will mention std::to_string. Similar library functionality provided by the POCO libraries will be shown too. String power is at your fingers for free, just say the magic word.
- 19:30: Break
- 19:45: Session 2: Strings and String Manipulation in C++, Part 2 (Lieven de Cock)
- 20:45: Demo of an LMS International software product followed by a drink.
