Welcome to Bjarne Stroustrup's homepage!

I'm a Managing Director in the technology division of Morgan Stanley in New York City, a Visiting Professor in Computer Science at Columbia University, and a Distinguished Research Professor in Computer Science at Texas A&M University.

I designed and implemented the C++ programming language. To make C++ a stable and up-to-date base for real-world software development, I stuck with its ISO standards effort for 20+ years (so far).

Writings:

• A Tour of C++ (a brief - 180 page - tour of the C++ Programming language and its standard library for experienced programmers)
• The C++ Programming Language (an exhaustive description of the C++ Programming language, its standard library, and fundamental techniques for experienced programmers)
• Programming: Principles and Practice using C++ (a programming text book aimed at beginners who want eventually to become professionals)
• The Design and Evolution of C++ (a book presenting the rationale and design criteria for C++ and its evolution up until 1994).
• research and popular papers
• interviews

Here is

• some biographical material,
• a C++11 FAQ,
• some frequently asked questions,
• some frequently asked questions about C++ style and technique, and
• a C++ glossary

These pages are permanently under construction. Constructive comments are most welcome.
