I think a lot of OOP practitioners are saving their "recesionized" OOP travel budgets for that event. I went to OOPSLA last year and was disappointed. The conference, in my opinion, was lacking practical information. Next year, I hope OOPSLA spends more conference time on OO Design, OO Proj Management, C++ ( that is "conference" and not 2 days of tutorials) and less time on reseach papers discussing Smalltalk and CLOS. -don -- Don R Lyons Any opinions expressed are my own.
