Things have been slow to get going in this group on the Meetup site.  The consensus is that Meetup is not the right vehicle for a group of this nature.  Meetup is designed for specific events at specific times and is not a very good communication tool.  It does have a discussion board, but it is clunky and no one uses it. So we're moving. From now on the GO …

If you can code in C/C++, you can code in any language. Moreover, you can tackle any programming problem you want. No other language can make as powerful a claim. My thinking is that there are other people who would like to learn how to program in C++, and we'd love to be the one to help them, while brushing up on our skills at the same time. Convoluted languages like Java & Ruby dominate the scene, despite being characteristically less efficient, more difficult to scale, and just plain more dif …
