Effective STL is done! Sneak Preview next Monday...

Yesterday I send Addison-Wesley a completed copy of my next book,
"Effective STL." The book won't physically exist for about a month, and it
will probably be about mid-June before it shows up in local bookstores, but
between now and then you'll have ample opportunity to get a flavor for the
book, because we're making a whole slew of Items available. The June CUJ
will contain an excerpt, as will the July DDJ. AW will be posting one
sample Item per week for four weeks starting in mid-May. I'll provide more
details on all of those things as they occur, but if you live near
Bellevue, Washington, you can get a glimpse of the book before anybody
else, because next Monday I'm presenting the following talk for WSA's
WinSIG:

When: Monday, May 7th, 2001
networking: 6:30pm, presentation 7:00pm

Where: Overlake Hospital Conference Center
121 107th Ave NE, Bellevue
NOTE: This is off Old Main Street and 107th
in Bellevue, not at the hospital itself. Take
Main Street and turn North onto 107th,
conference center will be on your left.

EFFECTIVE STL SNEAK PREVIEW

For the past 18 months, Scott Meyers has been exploring the STL, and he
just sent to his publisher the results of his efforts, the new book,
Effective STL: 50 Specific Ways to Improve Your Use of the Standard
Template Library. In this talk, Scott presents three Items from this
new book, items that focus on material not usually covered in
descriptions of the STL. He also hands out flyers for the new book and
urges everyone to buy their usual minimum of three copies: one for the
office, one for home, and one for each of your cars (for when you're
stuck in traffic).

Cost: Free! No reservations required. Invite your
friends!

I hope to see you next Monday in Bellevue.
