    I've long enjoyed Michael's book on legacy code - it's wonderful hear his latest thoughts on the subject. Personally I find refactoring legacy C++ code bases to take advantage of C++ 11 goodness to be extremely satisfying, effective and valuable, not to mention plain old fun. Thank you so much C9 team for making this video available!

    @dot_tom: You're welcome! Thanks for spending quality time on C9 and providing us with valuable feedback over the years, Tom.

    Thanks to Dave Thomas and crew for being such big supporters of C9 and brining us into their events as first class citizens. We have a great relationship with Dave and that's good for everybody, especially C9 viewers! Smiley
