Aloha C++0x

There is something significant happening on Hawaii’s Big Island. No, Kilauea is not erupting again. However, the event taking place will have an impact for years to come. The ISO/IEC/JTC1/SC22/WG21 - C++ Standards Committee is meeting in Kona this week. In order to meet their goal of delivering C++0x in 2009, they must walk out of the meeting with an approved complete draft of the language and library standard ready for first public review. I was skeptical at first when several members of our team told me they "had" to go to Kona for a week. However, once I saw what was on their plate for the week, my envy quickly turned to sympathy.

C++ luminary Alisdair Meredith, who recently joined CodeGear, is heading up the delegation for BSI and representing CodeGear’s ANSI seat at the meeting. Joining Alisdair (from CodeGear) are Allen Bauer and Dawn Perchik. Check out Allen’s blog for a daily update on the proceedings.

Alisdair will be hosting a live webcast on October 9th with a full debrief of the meeting, as well as answering questions about CodeGear’s C++ Builder product. If you have a passion for C++ programming, you won’t want to miss this session with Alisdair
