[soci-users] Slides from SOCI talk at London C++ Meeting

[Mateusz Loskot]

Hi,

I've just came back form the first London C++ Meeting
at Google Campus [1] where I had pleasure to give introductory
talk about SOCI, on basic idea behind the library and
core concepts the library heavily relies on.

Here are the talk slides:

http://slid.es/mloskot/soci

I guess, it may serve as not-a-bad overview for anyone
new to SOCI, before diving into the SOCI source
code and documentation.
I may update the slides in future or derive new talks.
Feel free to use it yourself if you like.
Comments are quesions are welcome.

Around 20-30 people listened to the talk,
followed with series of ineresting question and some
ideas discussed over beer afterwards.

Hi Mateusz,

Congratulations for the nice presentations, thanks for making the slides
available and sorry for not finally being able to come to London to meet
you, unfortunately I just had too much of other work recently to be able to
do it. When is the next meeting? ;-)

People love slides, usually (not as much as graphs, but as it's going to
be a bit difficult to produce those for SOCI, we'll have to do with what we
have ;-), so I'd definitely add a link to them to SOCI home page.

Not that I have any plans to reuse them, but I just wonder: how can people
actually do it? I.e. what are the "sources" of the slides and can they be
obtained from slid.es somehow?

Anyhow, once again, this is a very nice short introduction to SOCI,
thanks!

Pity, indeed.

Next meeting is in 15 July, but the topic is to be confirmed,
likely some mobile C++ development

Perhaps you'd have closer for this conference

I'm still hoping to be ther in November, but it's unsure ATM.

Good idea.
I'll add it to the Articles section.

I used reveal.js framework to produce the slides
http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/

The whole presentation is included in single HTML file
plus one picture and bunch of JS/CSS linked as external files.
So, it is self contained and I'm going to create GitHub repo
so it's easier to grab copy.
