>At the last meeting, we decided that another C++ roundtable meeting
>will be valuable, but that we were itching to get our hands dirty
>first. Two universal areas of interest were template
>meta-programming and Test Driven Development in C++. This week,
>we'll have a look at TDD in C++.
>
>Participants in this track represent the full spectrum of experience
>in both C++ and TDD (as well as the combination) with some who have
>worked with and taught both of these, and others who are new to C++
>and/or TDD. We'll take the necessary steps to bring newcomers up to
>speed, including help with test harness installation and the basics of TDD.
>
>We'll tackle this topic with a combination of hands-on and
>discussion. We haven't fixed a schedule, but I wouldn't be surprised
>if we held more than one meeting on TDD.

>To Prepare For This Meeting
>
>If you have a laptop, please bring it to the meeting. Try to install
>a C++ environment (Most participants already have one
>installed). If you have a favorite test harness, please prepare
>that as well. As another option, Industrial Logic has been
>developing a C++ test harness called CppTestKit. It isn't yet open
>sourced, but I have the ok to distribute it at the meeting.

>If you want to see how the Eclipse CDT has has come along, there are
>release candidates available for the next version of Eclipse and the
>next generation of CDT. CDT has been dramatically revised. Don't
>expect all the slick bells and whistles of the Eclipse JDT, but the
>new CDT (4.0) is enough improved that it may be a reasonable choice
>for production work. You'll need a recent milestone or candidate
>release of the Eclipse platform (at least M6, but you might as well
>use the latest, which as I write this is 3.3RC2)
