UNIGROUP GENERAL MEETING
MEETING INTRODUCTION
Unigroup's July 2017 meeting will on The Latest C++ Standards, including the major changes over the past 6 years, what developers must know to stay current, and how coding using the new language and library features is likely to be quite different from that done in prior years. We expect to cover these language iterations: moving beyond C++98/03, C++11 -> C++14, C++14 -> C++17, Additionally, our speaker will have just come back from attending the latest C++ Standards Committee meeting one week earlier, so he will be presenting bleeding-edge information to Unigroup.
Update from our speaker: the C++ Meeting last week was evidently very productive: 3 new technical specifications were published, a 4th was sent to ISO for ballot, and the C++17 Standard final ballot is in progress. Lots of material to cover at Unigroup.

Introduction & Description of Talk:
C++ in 2017...
Last week the ISO C++ committee convened, and published another three Technical Specifications, sent a 4th on to ISO for balloting prior to publication, and started work on what will be the next standard after C++17 is published later this year.
Alisdair Meredith, former Library Working Group chair for the C++ committee and active committee member on behalf of Bloomberg LP, will report on the progress of this language since the standard was updated in 2011, right up to date with the latest efforts of that Toronto meeting.

GIVEAWAYS
Addison-Wesley Professional/Prentice Hall PTR/Pearson, and O'Reilly have been kind enough to provide us with review copies of some of their books, which we will continue to raffle off as giveaways at our meetings. The publishers always ask that the persons receiving the books provide a review and/or feedback about their books.
Unigroup would like to thank both publishing companies for the support provided by their User Group programs.
As always, all of the books will be available for review at the start of the meeting.
Note: Our book supply is currently running low, and we need to restock.

! Students: We are looking for proof that you are
currently enrolled in classes (rather than working
full-time), and as such, your Student ID should show
a CURRENT date. We have been presented Student IDs
containing NO dates whatsoever, and in the
current environment, perpetual/non-expiring access
to university facilities just does not feel right.
If your ID contains no date, please bring
additional proof of current enrollment. Thanks.
