Since we have seen C++11 we obtained an ability to create user defined literals both prefix and suffix forms. But let's start from the begging, shall we?

Have you ever wanted to be able to iterate through your own class as if it was a cool STL container?

So it's been a long time I've wrote something for the blog. Since the last post few things have changed. For example - I've moved in a foreign country. I went into Ukraine which is not a big deal you would say, but for me it's a pretty significant change in my life. I've worked a two years in solo on a video related projects, one of which was related to trans-coding video on fly using a gstreamer and the other one was about storing and providing access to a video content by special tags, this one was a nightmare. The gstreamer is a neat open source solution in video processing libraries. The people designed it are crazy ones - such a over-complicated implementation to achieve flexibility and effectiveness in processing video on various platforms and hardware. The most important about this library for me was it's non-existing support. Or should I say community driven support? I don't know even for now. At the time I've had a couple questions...
