Bjarne Stroustrup on 40 of C++

Recently I sat down with Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++, to discuss his career and the evolution of C++ over years.

We discussed Bjarne’s origins in Denmark, his PhD work at Cambridge, the origins of C++ at Bell Labs, how to teach C++, the ISO committee that governs C++, and what exactly made Bjarne’s career so successful. There’s a lot more, too 😀

Watch the interview here.

And if you are interested in learning C++ from Bjarne (and me, and many other instructors), enroll in Udacity’s C++ Nanodegree Program!
