Microsoft project for cloud-based client-server communication
...A powerful model for composing asynchronous operations based on C++ 11 features. Windows desktop, Windows Store (UWP), Linux, OS X, Unix, iOS, and Android. Support for Visual Studio 2015 and 2017 with debugger visualizers.
HOOPLE is a portable collection of C++ source code, featuring thread-safe objects for collections and event processing, RPC-style plugin-based encrypted networking (CROMP / octopus), bookmark collection management utilities, and a lot of other cool stuff.
This is the project page for HOOPLE version 1, which was retired on September 25 2010. The code supposedly still builds on both Linux (with gnu gcc) and on Windows (with ms visual studio).
