[ALACPP] Thursday Night's Agenda

[Jon Stewart <stew1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

1. Introductions & Announcements

2. Book vote -- which book will the discussion group read next? The email 
at the bottom lists the current ballot. If you have any others you'd like 
to nominate, speak up.

3. Meeting discussion -- do you want to see regular night meetings, more 
in the vein of LAJUG? What other things would you like the group to do?

4. Presentation -- EventHandler. Functors are playing a large role in C++ 
these days: using the STL effectively requires them, Alexandrescu devotes 
a chapter to them, and Boost is constantly improving them. I'll discuss an 
extension of Boost::function, EventHandler, and demonstrate its practical 
application of policies and Boost's Preprocessor library.

5. Drinking!


See you all Thursday night!



Jon

Here are some books I'd be interested in reading next; if you have other 
suggestions, please make them known:

_The C++ Standard Library: A Tutorial and Reference_ by Nicolai Josuttis

	The definitive text for learning and using the STL.


_C++ Templates: The Complete Guide_ by David Vandevoorde and Nicolai 
Josuttis

	How templates work, in detail.


_Exceptional C++_ by Herb Sutter

	Exception safety and other gotchas', seemingly in the vein of 
Scott Meyers.


_C++ Network Programming, Vol. 1: Mastering Complexity with ACE and 
Patterns_ by Douglas Schmidt and Stephen Huston

	An introduction to the ACE networking library, going over how to 
write a portable, efficient networking layer.


_Standard C++ IOStreams and Locales: Advanced Programmer's Guide and 
Reference_ by Angelika Langer and Klaus Kreft

	All you ever wanted to know about iostreams that other authors 
were afraid to answer.


_The Boost Graph Library_ by Lee, Lumsdaine, and Siek

	Covers the Boost Graph Library, giving insight into the Boost 
design philosophy, not to mention a refresher course in graph theory.
