D Fibers

Ali will present a shorter version of his DConf 2016 talk:

  http://dconf.org/2016/talks/cehreli.html

D's fibers (coroutines in other languages) are not a part of the language but a feature implemented by the D runtime.

This talk should be fairly accessible to new programmers even without a CS background as it will explain the function call stack as well as context registers, concepts necessary to understand how fibers are useful at all.

As always, bring all other D questions and comments...

Ali Çehreli has been working with C, C++, and D in Silicon Valley since 1996. He is the author of the book "Programming in D", a board member of The D Language Foundation, and an organizer of DLang and ACCU meetup groups in Silicon Valley.

Related, we tried to use the very fancy equipment that's in the exact meeting room that we will be using. The audio was on and off, with about 50% success rate. We fixed it by powering down one of the fancy microphone thingies. To repeat, in my experience, recording meetings is not a solved problem yet. :)

Might I suggest a backup mechanism, just in case the "fancy equipment" doesn't work. Something as simple as setting up a smart phone or camcorder. If it's needed, then you at least have the video/audio.

I've used google hangouts to broadcast/record all our Boston meetings and haven't had a problem yet. And as you will see next Sunday, we don't have any special equipment! The quality is super-low, but low-quality is better than not recording :)

Even if you just have audio, you can later "re-play" the slideshow to match what was being said so people can follow along. The audio dialog, especially for questions, is what I think most people are interested in.

Nice. I won't be there, but I really liked the talk about multitasking you gave at DConf 2016. I never heard of coroutines before it, so it pretty much blew my mind how easily you can iterate on several trees (simultaneously) with them.
