(IMO also etc etc) The previous company I worked at had a personal fan of Meyer working there (a groupie?!) and he organised for Meyer to come and give a talk, supposedly on OO. I attended. It was more a talk on the wonderful world of Eiffel (a language developed by Meyer) and a sales speil flogging the Eiffel compiler and developement environment sold by his company. He obviously had a major "thing" against C++ (he made a few good points but the majority of his gripes about C++ were ridiculous) and firmly believes in the one true hand-holding way of Eiffel. (C++ is not perfect, far from it, but I believe in the "horses for courses" approach whereas his answer is Eiffel for everything.) He seems to know his stuff when it comes to OO and Eiffel, but I wouldn't trust/believe him on much else.
