Using QT's native gRPC support
Here we implement a client using QT 6.8 with an interactive QML UI!
Exploring how to implement the client using gRPC async callbacks
Here we implement all four operations as actual - usable - methods with event-callbacks.
Exploring how to implement the server using gRPC async callbacks
Here we implement all four operations using the newer - and much nicer - callback interface.
Exploring the async callback interface for gRPC in C++
Here we will look into how to use the newer - and much nicer - callback interface.
Implementing a unary, async client
In the first iteration, we will deal with a traditional RPC call; it takes one input argument and returns one output value.
Implementing the full routeguide async client
Here we implement all four operations, including the bidirectional stream rpc method RouteChat(). We re-use the abstractions we created in the previous article.
Implementing the full routeguide async server
Here we implement all four operations, including the bidirectional stream rpc method RouteChat(). We also add more abstractions to minimize the code required for each request.
Implementing an async client with one message and one stream.
In this iteration of the client, we add incoming or outgoing streams of requests or replies. We are not yet ready to take on the bi-directional stream.
Implementing an async server with one message and one stream.

A smart asynchronous object-cache in C++
A generic cache in C++ that only fetch an item once, even if there are many simultaneous requests for the data.
Version 0.90 of restc-cpp with important new features
Restc-cpp is a REST client library for C++ projects.
The great mystery on how to make durable, asynchronous functions for asio.
Many C++ developers seems confused about the secret sauce of asynchronous completions - or composed operations - in Boost.asio.
Deploying distcc in a kubernetes cluster to transform it into a big, fast build-machine.
For C++ developers, more cores to build on means faster builds. If your project is big, more cores can make a significant boost. If you have a local k8 cluster with spare CPU, it's amazingly simple to turn it into a build-machine.
Some words about a simple experiment with QT
What does it take to make a simple Qt/QML application and deploy it on iOS, Android, macos, Linux, Windows? Let's find out!
How to make std::shared_ptr<> objects singleton instances
How do you ensure that, for example, a database wrapper, only hands out one instance of any given data object?
Serializing directly between C++ objects and Json files
C++ is a popular Object-oriented language. Json is a popular format for storage of Objects. Why is it so hard to make those two things play ball?
The second beta of restc-cpp is released
Restc-cpp is a REST client library for C++ projects.
Getting QSqlRecord right
I wasted quite some hours figuring out how to correctly insert new records in a QSqlTableModel derived class.
