Modern C++ Questions and Answers Real-Time, Online on the Internet

Title: Q&A on all of Chapter 19 and particularly exercise 1 & 2.

Book: Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++, 2nd Edition -- Bjarne Stroustrup

We emphasize questions and answers within our lively interactive round-table discussion. They're discussed in the context of a live programming demonstration with is screen shared and audio. Anyone can participate or simply listen.

Let's Learn Modern C++17 Together - it's like a whole new, even better language!

Our timezone is: Chicago USA CST/CDT Central time

Suggested Reading

Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++, 2nd Edition -- Bjarne Stroustrup (AKA. Birds book or PPP) :: Chapters: the chapters mentioned in the event title above.

Additional Reference Material

C++ Programming Language, The, 4th Edition -- Bjarne Stroustrup (AKA. Mountains book) :: Chapters: All chapters in the book.

Suggested Compiler and IDE -

We will be using the Qt cross-platform development environment for programming exercises and examples. Of course, you may use any other compiler, but we may be less familiar with it. You can download the open source Qt product here:
http://www.qt.io/developers

Young People: All programmers are welcome, however if you are under 18 years of age, you will need to be accompanied at ALL times by your parent or legal guardian. There are no exceptions to this rule.

Who should attend? - Are you a solid programmer (in another language or C++) who wants to expand your horizons to the powerful new modern C++?

Learn as experienced Modern C++ 17 programmers (mentors) share their knowledge with you.

Mentors Needed! - Our expert volunteer mentors benefit from teaching, as well as hearing and learning alternative approaches from their fellow mentor's views, and the questions asked by the learners (students) during a session.

Don't forget to invite your programmer friends.

Group Culture and Meeting Facilitation -

We discuss deeply technical specifics regarding Modern C++ and how to modernized code up to that standard. Introductory and advanced questions and answers are interleaved with the goal of everyone getting some benefit moment to moment. All questions are treated with respect. All answers/replies/comments and asides are considered, challenged, and supplemented by everyone in the group. We are highly interactive and we sit around a huge table to facilitate quality communication. No one is required to speak, but we hope you will have something to add when you are comfortable doing so. The moderator of the group is very proactive in keeping the discussion understandable, focused, on topic and moving forward, as well as creating space for people to speak and express their technical ideas. We aim for highly productive, highly interactive learning. Generally, Grant is the moderator and Alan is the primary mentor.
