C++ Creator and ISO C++ Chair to Deliver Two Day Super Session at
TechInsights' Embedded Systems Conference Boston 2008
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").
