Usenet is a large and diverse collection of electronic forums often called newsgroups . Some of these newsgroups are moderated , which means that every submission is examined in some way for its appropriateness.
A few Usenet groups are dedicated to the discussion of the C++ language. In fact, many of the most advanced techniques presented in this book were first published in some of these groups. In some cases, techniques were developed through collaborative discussion in these groups.
The following Usenet newsgroups discuss C++, the standard, and the C++ standard library:
Tutorial level C++ ( unmoderated )
alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++
General aspects of C++ (unmoderated)
