In addition to the four talks I'll be giving at the Software Development
(SD) Conference in Santa Clara, CA, next week, I've scheduled two new
presentations:

April 14 in Redmond, WA: Double-Checked Locking, Threads, Compiler
Optimizations, and More

May 6 in Beaverton, OR: Effective C++ in an Embedded Environment

The April 14 talk (which is the same as my first SD talk next Wednesday) is
the result of joint work with Andrei Alexandrescu over the course of
several months as we struggled to figure out the interaction of threads,
volatile, lazy initialization, instruction reordering, cache coherency, and
other topics. I think the material is quite interesting.

The May 6 talk on using C++ for the development of embedded systems is one
I've given for a year or so, but I keep tweaking the material in response
to insights from embedded developers. The May 6 presentation should be the
best one yet.

As always, you'll find a summary of my upcoming public appearances at
http://www.aristeia.com/seminars_frames.html, including links to full
descriptions of each talk.

I hope to see you at one or more of my talks in Santa Clara, Redmond, or
Beaverton.
