PC UNIX SIG Meeting

[Daniel P. Kionka]

PC UNIX SIG					Wednesday, April 3, 7pm


		Object Oriented Programming with C++
		------------------------------------

In the April meeting of the PC UNIX SIG, Ron Guilmette will present the
basic concepts of object oriented programming, i.e. encapsulation and
inheritance, and will provide examples of how to use these important
features in the C++ programming language.  Static versus dynamic typing in
object-oriented languages (e.g. Smalltalk, C++) will be described briefly.

Additionally, other notable and important features which differentiate
C++ from C will be described and Ron will give a brief update on the
penetration of C++ into practical software development projects as well
as on the progress of the ANSI X3J16 C++ standardization committee.


About the speaker:

Ron Guilmette holds an MS in Computer Science, and has worked on compilers
and related software development tools since 1980.  Over the past two
years, he has worked primarily on the enhancement of GNU software under
contract to various firms, currently Network Computing Devices in Mountain
View.  He is known to readers of USENET news as "The C++ Entomologist".

The PC UNIX SIG is a group that meets monthly to learn about UNIX and
discuss the popular UNIX versions for the IBM PC family.  The format is
technical discussions or product presentations, plus there is a special
session before the meeting for beginners.  We also have a public computer
with Usenet access and maintain a software and documentation library.

The meetings are free and open to the public, but members are encouraged
to join the parent group, Silicon Valley Computer Society, an IBM PC
users group.  For more information on SVCS call 408-286-1271.
