Hi! A small group of like-minded C++ programmers in Pasadena, CA has been meeting regularly for the past few months. The group's name is ALACPP, for Advanced Los Angeles C++, and we're interested in teaching ourselves more about generic programming and other advanced C++ techniques. Obviously, we're Boost users! We read books together and have weekly lunch meetings to discuss them; we just finished _Modern C++ Design_ and are moving on to Herb Sutter's _Exceptional C++_. We're also organizing periodic evening meetings, to explore specific topics in depth. If you'd like to give a relevant presentation to the group, please contact me! If you're in the Los Angeles area, I invite you to check out the group. Our meager website can be found here: http://www.alacpp.org and you can sign up for our mailing list here: http://lists.ellipsis.cx/mailman/listinfo/alacpp Thanks! Jon -- Jon Stewart stew1@ellipsis.cx
