DDJ has now put my October article on operator->* on the web. The URL is
http://www.ddj.com/articles/1999/9910/9910b/9910b.htm
I'd hoped they'd put a version of the article up that doesn't separate the
code examples into listings following the article proper, but they chose
not to do that. Fortunately, there are links between the article text and
the listings, so it's pretty easy to switch back and forth.
The contract I signed with DDJ did not oblige them to make the article
freely accessible, so I hope you'll send the editor, Jon Erickson, mail
thanking him for his willingness to do it. His address is
jerickson@ddj.com.

CUJ Article is now out; June Seminar Reminder
My artice, "How Non-Member Functions Imrove Encapsulation", is now
available in the current issue of the C/C++ Users Journal. I think this is
some of the best work I've done in a while, and I hope you find it
interesting. Here is the opening paragraph:
I'll start with the punchline: If you're writing a function that can be
implemented as either a member or as a non-friend non-member, you should
prefer to implement it as a non-member function. That decision
*increases* class encapsulation. When you think encapsulation, you
should think non-member functions.
To my great delight, the entire article is also available on-line at
http://www.cuj.com/current/feature.html. CUJ and I had agreed in advance
that the article would eventually be made available via the web, but I
didn't expect them to make it available electronically at the same time as
the print version. I encourage you to send the editor, Marc Briand, mail
thanking him for making the article so easily accessible. His address is
mbriand@mfi.com.
We're still working on the details, but my hands-on "Effective STL" seminar
is planned for June 7-9 near Portland, Oregon. Within the next couple of
weeks, I'll send out a mailing with all the information you'll need, but
for the time being, I hope you'll plan to join me June 7-9 to get down and
dirty with the STL -- the most revolutionary library design I've ever seen,
and one we're darned lucky to have as part of standard C++.

PS - In an earlier mailing, I told you that my DDJ article on operator->*
would soon be available on-line. I'm still waiting to hear from DDJ about
when "soon" will be. When I know, I'll let you know.
