Contemporary C++ in Action
summary
A compact client‑server video streamer is actually built, using libav, SDL, ASIO executors and C++20/23 features (generators, coroutines, expected, modules, ranges). The demo compiles and runs live, showing an infinite directory iterator feeding decoded frames, networked delivery with timeouts and cancellation, and a GUI that renders frames — the implementation details, wrapper value types, and the fact that it succeeded on stage decide whether this is worth watching tonight.
