I work as an instructor, coach, and author with a independent curriculum of C++ and Java courses.  I deliver my services worldwide, mainly in Europe and North America. My areas of expertise include advanced C++ and Java programming, concurrent programming and performance issues.  I am the author of the Java Generics FAQ , an online resource covering new language features in Java 5.0, and I am co-author with Klaus Kreft of the book " C++ Standard IOStreams and Locales " (Addison Wesley, 2000). Together we wrote the column " Effective Standard Library " for the US magazines C++ Report and C/C++ Users Journal. Currently we write a column named " Effective Java " for the German magazine Java Spektrum.  I enjoy speaking at conferences all over the world. I am an observing member of the ISO/ANSI C++ standards committee and the Java Community Process JCP.
