Vis Application Spotlight — Make it Beautiful
Once again, I had fun.
IEEE VIS Application Spotlight Presentation Upcoming
After my apparently successful presentation at the VisGap 2020 workshop, collocated to the EuroVis/Eurographics 2020, in May, I was now invited to give a short Application Spotlight presentation and the IEEE VIS 2020. I am honored. And, I am looking forward to this opportunity.
Weekend of Nuget — Now with GFlags
Somehow, I never liked GetOpt. I am not convinced by all details of GFlags as well. But, it is the better option than whipping up some CmdLine parser myself.
For the nuget package I focused only on the thread-safe static library. If you need another variant, feel free to reuse my AppVeyor artifacts. Those include basically everything.
As usual, the package code is free: https://bitbucket.org/sgrottel_nuget/gflags_nuget
LibYAML Nuget
The community for native library nugets seems not very active. I assume most people use cmake, and have to use some extra scripting for some platform dependent package management, or something. I don’t know. I still like nuget a lot. And so, without further ado: my new Nuget package for LibYAML.
As usual, package code is free: https://bitbucket.org/sgrottel_nuget/libyaml-nuget
New Nuget for Lua 5.4
I updated the Nuget package for Lua (https://www.nuget.org/packages/lua/).
And I used this opportunity to modernize the package. I no longer use Coapp, but simply write the nuspec and targets file manually.
Let me know if you have any problems with the new package.
VisGap 2020
I had a nice opportunity to visit academia again. Colleagues from the old times at the university were organizing a workshop at this years EGEV 2020, the VisGap 2020 — The Gap between Visualization Research and Visualization Software — and they invited me to give a cap stone presentation. I was honored by the invite, and luckily, my company agreed to my participation as well.
Now, with our current COVID-19 situation, the conference and the workshop did not take place in Norrköping in Sweden as planned. Instead the whole conference and all workshops were converted to virtual events. As a result attendance was free. And, all sessions are freely available on YouTube. So, if you like to see my talk, be my guest:
