cURL and libcurl

getting started with libcurl

I am doing another webinar on March 28 2024, introducing newcomers to how to Internet transfers using the libcurl API.

Starting at 10am Pacific time. 17:00 UTC. 18:00 CET.

Agenda

  • libcurl basics
  • synchronous transfers
  • getting transfer information
  • concurrent transfers
  • URL parser
  • Q&A

The plan is to spend about 30 minutes going through the topics in the agenda and then take as long as necessary to let the attendees ask all and every question you may have about curl, the libcurl API and Internet transfers.

Sign up here

I have run this webinar before. The setup will be similar but not identical to previous runs. I believe attending the webinar is way better than watching a video recording of it in particular because you get the opportunity to interact and ask questions. Whatever detail you think is unclear or you would like to know more about, I can tell you all about it.

Using the libcurl API is not complicated, but it is a powerful machine and not everything is immediately obvious or straight forward.

See you on March 28.

(The event will be recorded and made available after the fact, and so will the slides.)

Register Here

This will be was an overview by Daniel Stenberg of the new WebSocket support in curl and in particular how to use this API with libcurl in your applications. It is followed by a live Q&A.

The session will be recorded and made available after the fact.

This webinar is done as a registration-only event on Zoom. If this is problematic for you, there will be a separate second version of this webinar done over Twitch at a later date.

Uncurled – the presentation

Uncurled – everything I know and learned about running and maintaining Open Source projects for three decades.

This is me, doing a live English-speaking presentation/webinar on these topics that I cover in my book: Uncurled.

Recording

Date: Tuesday August 23, 2022

Time: 10: 00 UTC (12:00 CEST)

Where: over zoom [Sign up]

The plan is to record this session and make it available after the fact on YouTube. This post will be updated with a link to that once it exists.

Agenda

Here’s the outlook on what I hope to be able to cover in a 40 minutes talk.

This will be followed by a Q&A-session with me answering any questions you might have. Feel most welcome and encouraged to submit your questions ahead of time if you already have some! (comment here, email me, comment or DM on Twitter, send a carrier pigeon, anything!)

I have not done this presentation before. I know the subject very intimately so I have no worries about that. The timing of the thing is what is going to be my bigger challenge I think. I aim for no more than 40 minutes of me blabbing.

Coming webinar: getting started with libcurl

2 Comments

Have you been curious about getting your feet wet with doing Internet transfers with libcurl but reasons (excuses?) have kept you away? Maybe it has felt as a too big step to take?

Fear not, on October 21 I’m doing a free webinar on Getting started with libcurl detailing useful first steps on how to get your initial application off the ground!

Sign up here!

The half-hour presentation will include details such as:

  • Basic fundamentals in the libcurl API and a look on the common data types and concepts.
  • Setting up and understanding a first libcurl transfer.
  • Differences between the two primary libcurl transfer interfaces: easy and multi.
  • A look at the most commonly used libcurl options
  • Suggestions on how and where to take the next steps

The plan is to make this presentation work independently of platform, compiler and IDE choice and it will focus on C/C++ code. Still, since most libcurl bindings are very “thin” and often mimics the C API fairly closely, it should be valuable and provide good information even for you who plan to write your libcurl-using applications in other languages.

We’ll also end the session with a Q&A-part of course so queue up your questions!

The presentation will be recorded and made available after the fact.

The event will take place on October 21, 2021 at 10:00 PDT (check your time zone)
