This session will introduce and discuss our new BSD-licensed
CsString library.
No prior knowledge of CopperSpice or DoxyPress is required.
Barbara Geller and Ansel Sermersheim are the co-founders of
CopperSpice, a C++ GUI library; and of DoxyPress, a
documentation generator. They have both spoken at CppCon 2015
and C++Now 2016, as well as at the ACCU Bay Area meetup.
Barbara has programmed in C++, Qt, Visual Objects, Clipper, PHP,
