Stroustrup began developing C++ in 1979 (then called "C with Classes"), and, in
his own words, "invented C++, wrote its early definitions, and produced its first
implementation... chose and formulated the design criteria for C++, designed all
its major facilities, and was responsible for the processing of extension proposals
in the C++ standards committee." Stroustrup also wrote what many consider to be
the standard text for the language, The C++ Programming Language, which is now in
its third edition. The text has been revised twice to reflect the evolution of the
language and the work of the C++ standards committee.
