Improve your C++ skills! Last week, we had a workshop covering an introduction to the language, and looking at functions and strings. Participants watched a couple of presentation videos, and then had the opportunity to put questions to experienced LibreOffice developers.

Well, the second workshop is coming up! On December 20 at 19:00 UTC, join us to discuss these topics: I/O streams and building LibreOffice! Beforehand, you can watch this video for an overview:

Then check out this page about I/O streams, and the building guides for LibreOffice. (You don’t have to read them all in detail, but take a look, and think of things you want to talk about!)

On December 20, you can join the discussion in the following ways:

• #libreoffice-dev on Freenode
• Our Jitsi channel

See you then!

Ever wanted to expand your programming skills, and venture into the world of C++? Well, we’re here to help! On Thursday December 13, at 19:00 UTC, we’ll have a live meeting on our #libreoffice-dev IRC channel, to discuss features of the language and provide help. LibreOffice developers will be available to answer questions and get your started with building the source code.

Now, if you want to take part, there are two videos to watch beforehand. The first is an introduction to C++ from Stanford University (it should start at 26:50, but if not, skip to that point to see the main content):

Then there’s a video which goes further into the language, looking at functions and strings:

So, watch the videos when you have some spare time, then join us on December 13 to discuss what you’ve seen, and learn more! See you soon…
