cpptalksindex

An index for C++ talks

Aim

The aim of this is to provide a community-managed tags for C++ conferences. Both experienced developers seeking to improve on a particular area or beginners looking for new areas to explore may use it to find material to watch.

Adding a talk

Talks are gathered from db.json. Copy-pasting should get you the structure:

  {
    "speakers": ["sample_speaker", "sample_speaker2"],
    "title": "",
    "conference": "CppCon",
    "year": 2020,
    "link": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=",
    "tags": [
      "no-tags-yet"
    ]
  },

Building the server

Requirements:

• cmake (tested with cmake 3.18.4)
• A recent C++ compiler, supporting the C++17 standard (tested with gcc 10.2.0)

Steps:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. # -GNinja
cmake --build . # Or make / ninja
ln -s ../www . # The server will run fine but 404 if you forget this step

There should be a bin/cpptalksindex binary in build. You can start the server with ./bin/cpptalksindex ../db.json, which will run the server. The server listens on port 8485 (hardcoded in main.cpp, should you need to change it).
