The coming meeting of the Dutch user group DotNed is monday may 2nd. It will be a special one. Held in the new Microsoft Technology Center in Barneveld (You're not supposed to know that untill you have registered). Speakers will be Ronald Laeremans, Nikola Dudar, Ray Stephenson and Scott Currie from the MS C++ team and the topic will be VS 2005.
To me, with my Delphi  background, C++ was allways that over complicated language which you couldn't avoid. Delphi could do all pointer manipulation and other dirty tricks without the need of *-es and the like. But all WinApi samples were in C++, a passive knowledge of C++ was a must. Now in the days of managed code I am curious how they will position C++. A refreshing topic.
Barneveld is in the mid-eastern part if the Netherlands. It's also well reachable from many a part of Germany and Belgium. Free registration is here. See you there ?
