Bjarne Stroustrup, Inventor of the Programming Language, Will Present
Alongside ISO C++ Chair Herb Sutter on Next Generation Device Development
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- TechInsights
(http://www.techinsights.com/) today announced that Bjarne Stroustrup, the
designer and original implementer of C++ and Herb Sutter, a leading
software development expert and prominent C++ expert, will conduct courses
in the C++ programming language at the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC)
Boston and SD Best Practices, taking place October 26-30, 2008 at the Hynes
Convention Center. For the first time at an ESC conference, Mr. Stroustrup
and Mr. Sutter will host two consecutive days of in-depth courses and
seminars on the universally recognized programming standard.
"We are excited to present a C++ Super Session at ESC Boston and SD
Best Practices," Stroustrup and Sutter said. "Software is an integral part
of embedded systems, so the challenge is to make software as structured and
dependable as the best hardware. The possibilities for improvements using
C++ are limitless, and we're looking forward to interacting with the
developers at this conference to see how they're taking the language to new
levels."
"Embedded engineers as a whole understand the importance of C++ as a
standard for developing next generation devices," said Richard Nass, editor
in chief for Embedded Systems Design and director for the Embedded Systems
Conferences. "However, this de facto programming language has myriad design
benefits that even some of the most experienced engineers never access. For
the first time ever, Mr. Stroustrup and Mr. Sutter are here to share their
expertise and break it down to the practical applications for the embedded
design community."
Mr. Stroustrup, who developed C++ in the Bell Labs in 1979 as an
enhancement to the C programming language, is a member of the National
Academy of Engineering, and currently holds the College of Engineering
Chair in Computer Science at Texas A&M University. He works closely with
Mr. Sutter, who has authored several books about the programming language
including Exceptional C++ and C++ Coding Standards. In addition to leading
the in-depth workshops and panel discussions on the role of C++ in embedded
design, both experts will available for attendees to meet and greet for
discussion and interaction. Both are active in the work to produce a
revised ISO C++ standard ("C++0x").
