COTUG (Cleveland Object Technology Users Group) meeting - Feb 3rd, 2000 (6:30pm-8:30pm)

[John Greve]

             Overview
     Object Oriented Technology's** rapid evolution makes
it hard to keep on top of emerging trends, tools, and best
practices. OO Professionals and Beginners alike are welcome
to attend COTUG (Cleveland Object Technology Users Group).
     Each meeting has a Main Presentation on contemporary
issues of interest to all OO practitioners.  Then we split
into independent Focus Tracks (think of them as sigs) to
address language / product specific issues.

         CALL FOR...
We're always looking for people to share at the meeting.

call for Book Reviews - if you've come across a good book
for OO practitioners recently, we want to hear about it.

(positive or otherwise) with an OO product, we want to
hear about it.

please come.
   note: the label SIGS is widely publicized in Cleveland's
