September Talk: Andreas Reischuck "Coroutines in Action"

Hi C++ Developers,

For September we want to restart our in regular events for 2026.

A+S Consult is so generous to host this meeting in Dresden Tolkewitz.

I will give a talk as a preview to Meeting C++ 2026.

Title:

Simple use cases for Coroutines

Abstract:

Are you intrigued by C++20 coroutines but unsure how to apply them in your projects? This talk demystifies coroutines by showcasing their practical benefits in two real-world scenarios, without diving into complex libraries or intricate details.

We'll explore:

1. Streamlining REST API interactions: Learn how coroutines can simplify asynchronous operations, eliminating callback hell and complex state management in a data acquisition application.

2. Enhancing multi-threaded workloads: Discover how coroutines can revolutionize your approach to Asynchronous Procedure Calls (APC) on Windows, leading to cleaner memory management and a more intuitive architecture.

We will try to setup a Live Stream on Youtube. Details will be posted here.

Date: Thursday, 10. September 2026
Start: 19:00
Ende: 21:30
Ort: Schaufußstraße 19, 01277 Dresden-Blasewitz

RSVP on Meetup!

PS: We are looking for speakers! - Please propose your talk!

Greetings
Andreas

April Vortrag: Stefan Urlberger und Patrick Morgenstern "vcpkg"

Hallo C++ Freunde,

For April we will have a talk in German.

Stefan und Patrick werden uns in seinem Vortrag mehr zu vcpkg erzählen.

"VCPackage - warum schon wieder ein neuer Package-Manager?"

Abtract:

Eine "Reise" von den PackageManagern NuGet zu Conan und final zu VCPackage: Warum wir jetzt bei VCPackage gelandet sind. Gründe, Painpoints und Erkenntnisse bei der (mehrfachen) Umstellung eines seit über 30 Jahren am Markt existierenden großen Softwareprodukts (die noch nicht komplett abgeschlossen ist).

Unser Treffen findet bei swp software systems GmbH & Co. KG statt.

Datum: Mittwoch, 10. April 2024
Start: 18:30 (Vortrag beginnt 19:00)
Ende: 21:00
Ort: Königsbrücker Straße 124, 01099 Dresden (Anfahrt)
Live Stream: Youtube (beginnt 19:00)

PS: Wir brauchen mehr Vortragende!

Viele Grüße
Andreas

Januar Talk: Markus Klemm "C++20 Coroutines, with Boost ASIO in production: Frightening but awesome"

Hello C++ User Group,

We hope you have a good holiday and a good start into 2024!

Markus Klemm will give the first talk of the year for us:

"C++20 Coroutines, with Boost ASIO in production: Frightening but awesome"

Abstract:

Writing asynchronous code, for example with Boost ASIO, breaks a lot of basic patterns, often resulting in a lambda callback hell or lifetime issues. C++20 coroutines are a major help to reducing this complexity as other languages have done with „async functions“ or so called await semantics. However if one tries to use out of the box coroutines they are up for a lot of questions and confusion.

In this talk aimed at C++ intermediate to expert level audiences I will demonstrate, in conjunction with Boost ASIO, how one can write safer and orders of magnitude more readable asynchronous code thanks to the new compiler and library features.

I will also elaborate the many culprits and surprises that came along when I adapted C++20 coroutines for productive real world usage.

This meetup session will be in person, hosted by HicknHack Software Gmbh and also online.

Date: Wednesday, 24. Januar 2024

Start: 19:00

End: 21:00

Place: HicknHack Software Gmbh, Eisenstuckstr. 48, 01069 Dresden and Live on Youtube

Please feel free to propose your talk for one of the remaining sessions of the year!

Cheers!

Andreas
