While my focus here at Meeting C++ is C++, this post is more on the topic of a User Group, so its also useful to you, if you want to start a user group on something else.

I used to do overviews on all papers for a meeting, and when I find the time, I will do this for upcoming meetings again. I will try to post a best-of later, with all the good stuff on concepts, modules and more later. Currently I'm to busy, I just got back from CppCon, and will go to the Qt World Summit next week (meet me there!).

This is the third part of my series on writing applications with C++ using Qt and boost. This time I focus on building factories, using boost::factory, with the ultimate goal to have widget factory producing QWidgets. The last part was about building trees and treemodels for QTreeView.
