/usr/group TECHNICAL COMMITTEE
C++ SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP
Monday, February 8
Don Kretsch (201) 522-6499
9:00 /usr/group Technical Committee General Meeting
10:30 The C++ programming language is a new language based on C
that provides support for object oriented programming
techniques. Features of the language that embody such
techniques are: classes, strong type checking, data hiding,
operator and function name overloading, and inheritance of
class attributes. These features have been viewed in the
literature as significantly increasing programmer productivity
during the software development process.
The C++ language was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup of AT&T,
Bell Laboratories and is described in his book "The C++
Programming Language".
The initial meeting of the C++ SIG will focus on:
1. Introducing the language and related object-oriented concepts.
2. Discussion of the current status of the language.
3. Sharing of ideas among current and future users.
4. Organizational issues regarding how the SIG can be
structured to be of most benefit to its participants.
The meeting will include presentations by current C++ language
users.
