Upcoming Events Reminder

The dust has settled over Dr. Dobb's Architecture & Design World in Chicago, and speakers like Dr. Dobb's blogger Arnon Rotem-Gal-Oz and Dr. Dobb's columnist Scott Ambler have made it safely home. Well, that is if you don't count the summer cold that Scott is recovering from.

Which means, of course, what's next up on our plate is the SD Best Practices in Boston on September 18-21.

A lot of the speakers should be familiar to Dr. Dobb's Journal readers because they've also written articles. -- and a lot more who ought to be. Let's see, there's: John Graham-Cumming, David Intersimone, Kirk Krauss, Joe Marasco, Tracy Ragan, and Robert Seacord, among others.

The conference is organized around 8 tracks: Build and Deploy; C++; Design and Architecture; People, Projects and Teams; Process and Methods; Requirements and Analysis; Testing and Quality; Web Services/SOA; plus Secure Design mini-track.

Finally, it's worth mentioning that a couple of other events will be co-located at the same place, same time: RFID World and the Embedded Systems Conference.

I'd also like to share a pointer to another extraordinary upcoming conference -- Extraordinary C++. This event will be held September 23-26 in Astoria, Oregon at the Hotel Elliott, and will include a lot of folks who know a lot about C++: Scott Meyers, Eric Niebler, Andrei Alexandrescu, Walter Bright, and Dave Abrahams.

Sessions include an Overview of TR1; C++ Callbacks for C APIs; Choose your Poison: Exceptions or Error Codes? Memory Allocation: Either Love It or Hate It. (Or Just Think It's OK.); C++ Metaprogramming Concepts and Frameworks; Domain-Specific Embedded Language Design with Boost.Proto; Building Fast Lexers and Parsers; and Performance Tuning Your Application.
