Refactoring in C++

Richard Thomson will make a presentation on refactoring and then lead some group refactoring of some open source C++ code. Some of the topics covered will include:

What is refactoring? What is the difference between refactoring and rewriting? How do we refactor code safely by hand? What tools are available for automated refactoring of C++? The current plan is to provide dinner, but we'll need a sponsor to help cover the cost. If your employer would like to sponsor our user group meeting, please contact Richard Thomson directly. Thanks!
