Holiday Gift: Open-Source C++ SDK & GraphLab Create 1.2 by Rajat Arya.
From the post:
Just when you were wondering how to keep from getting bored this holiday season, we’re delivering something to fuel your creativity and sharpen your C++ coding skills. With the release of GraphLab Create 1.x SDK (beta) you can now harness and extend the C++ engine that powers GraphLab Create.
Extensions built with the SDK can directly access the SFrame and SGraph data structures from within the C++ engine. Direct access enables you to build custom algorithms, toolkits, and lambdas in efficient native code. The SDK provides a lightweight path to create and compile custom functions and expose them through Python.

One of the great things about the Internet is that as soon as you wonder something like “…how am I going to keep from being bored…” a post like this one appears in your Twitter stream. Well, at least if you are a follower of @graphlabteam. (A good reason to be following @graphlabteam.)
Watching the explosive growth of progress on graphs and graph processing over the past couple of years makes me suspect that the security side of the house is doing something wrong. Not sure what but it isn’t making this sort of progress.
Enjoy the SDK!
