In recognition of the economic climate, and in order to make possible the maximum participation this year, we've extended the early registration deadline for BoostCon until April 26th, so BoostCon is still only $599. BoostCon has always been a great place to network, find out what is happening in the C++ community, and learn about the coolest C++ libraries being developed within and outside of Boost --- and this year will be better than ever. The official schedule is now live at http://www.boostcon.com/program. A few highlights of the "mouth-watering content" (in the words of one enrollee) are: * A keynote address from Andrei Alexandrescu called "Iterators Must Go." * Troy Straszheim's presentations on how high-energy physicists are using Boost to process massive datasets as they go "Icefishing for Neutrinos" and on Kamasu, his library for offloading computation to your machine's GPU. * Two hands-on sessions where we'll start recoding parts of Boost for C++0x, applying rvalue references, variadic templates, decltype, and advanced SFINAE capabilities using the latest GCC. * "Practical C++ Test-Driven Development with Boost.Test and Bmock," by Asher Sterkin * A session on compiler construction using Boost.Spirit v2, from Hartmut Kaiser and Joel de Guzman The complete list of sessions covers a wide range of other Boost and C++-related topics.

The quality of BoostCon has always depended on its diverse and interesting participants, so bring your ideas, questions, and experience, and sign up now! http://www.boostcon.com/registration See you in Aspen, -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
