This is an invitation to join us at Object Currents and view, engage in, and participate in the latest in object-oriented technology using the newest in information technology, the WWW. Object Currents is a complete new free monthly journal with original Feature Articles, Columns, and Departments along with 7 to 10 *new* articles from SIGS' Journals. ***NEW NEWS*** The comp.object FAQ will move its official anonymous FTP and Web site to SIGSnet soon and our Code Watch Department will reflect additions or updates to the OOFAQ's Appendices in addition to any other news. The Berne site in Switzerland (the only official and up-to-date Web site) will become a mirror in Europe. I'd also like to mention a few talks I'll be giving in the next month or so, one at the TOOLS USA conference in Santa Barbara this July 29 on the Unified Modeling Language. I'll discuss the UML and give examples, alternatives, and general discussion in a half day tutorial. I'm also speaking at Object Expo in New York City this August 8 on "Advanced C++: Multiple-polymorphism/Uses/ Types", which discusses a more sophisticated object model with true types and how it relates to a more static model in terms of dependencies, metrics, and functionality from OOA thru to C++ and the available idioms and tradeoffs involved.
