September 5th, 1999, 07:58 PM Try a book September 5th, 1999, 09:18 PM C++ was invented by Bjarne Stroustrup. He was working at AT&T when he wanted to use classes using C language. He was inspired by Simula67 among other languages that were object oriented. This was back in early 80s and the language was known as "C with Classes". The name C++ was coined by Rick Mascitti in 83. The name signifies the evolutionary nature from C language by using "++" operator (increment) of C. I recommend the book "C++ Programming Language Third Edition" by Bjarne Stroustrup. You will see more history of C++ there. Sef September 5th, 1999, 09:55 PM The definitive source is the author himself. Check out www.research.att.com/~bs/homepage.html codeguru.com
