i am 25 years late for this class. sorry professor.

He forms his sentence like he's programming. No redundancy.

I am not a C++ programmer. Yet, any time I see this guy, I have to click. Always informative.

Bjarne Stroustrup looks exactly like what you imagine someone who made a programming language looks like

“C++ is a better C according to rather strict criteria for what ‘better’ and what ‘C’ means” love it.

This man is a genius. A humble, low key genius.

"I value experience over theory when there's a clash... You need a pragmatic approach to stop good ideas from spoiling good work" He's not only a great scientist but also a first-class engineer!

"I lost half of my hair debugging that program" HA

Fantastic. Remember : It was early 1994 guys ! Look at this language today, it is extremely interesting. Quite almost all he talked about has been true and realised. He was fare beyond the other teams, the lack of publicity is a pity, really.

Not all heros wear capes. Most people dont even know this person...

I enjoy listening to Strostrup because he really is a great teacher.

This video should have millions of views!

I watch this talk once a year or so just to get inspired to be a better developer.

Barney Stroustroup, I bought your C++ book and you are a legend

Thank you very much for sharing this!! It is greatly appreciated!!

18:50 This made me realize that this was recorded before Windows 95.

Thank you for this video. It is truly beautiful to watch.

Thanks for the upload and sharing. I can't see stuff like this on any of my TV channels. I guess nobody can.

This lecture can't get any better when the creator of the language itself is teaching it.

Legend! This guy needs a big statue in the middle of New York Harbor right next to the statue of liberty.

His dry sarcasm at times is pure gold lol

I had lived with his "Annotated C++ Reference" 4 years prior to this lecture, and it's only today in 2018 that I get to see the man for the 1st time. He is every bit as fascinating as I expected.

After 24 years of C++ programming : I love it and : I owe you man

this video deserves millions of views

still applicable today. insightful.

58:13 "The goose gotta flap". :) Great stuff!! This lecture brings back lots of old memories when I was first introduced to C++ in my sophomore year as a computer science student at CSUN -- around the same time of this recording. Sadly, I had very little understanding of object-oriented programming at the time, but I was always fascinated by its paradigm. C++ (Visual C++) was the first language that I learned about OOP, right before I was introduced to Java in around 1995-1996.

Quite an interesting person to meet. Really valuable his creation.

Perfect lecture, thank you for sharing this valueable content.

Alternate title : "I was working on a language i struggled with so i just created my own and nowadays it's the world leader"

"Hello I'm a pianist hostel I'd like to tell a bit about C++" -- yes thank you closed captions I thought that's what Bjarne said.

Thank you Bjarne Stroustrup

It's amazing to think that his work has touched our lives over so many vectors.

This man is a legend.

25 years later and he still has the same haircut. 😐

Necessity breeds innovation!

I have learnt a lot from this guy

Great Video, Thanks!

Always wanted to watch a class and fall asleep. Thank you, UKposts.

22:45

It's crazy that I'm watching a video on what I'm learning that was recorded on the same month and same year that I was born!!!!

I liked when he tugged on the bird's string. It felt like there was some sort of shift in tone or topic whenever he gave it a tug, although I couldn't quite place it.

The man, the myth, the legend!

Opening bird pull is epic brilliance.

Interesting window into this guy's mind.

They gave their privileges, love life, interaction with friends and family and dedicated their life for something which makes its easier to do things i admire these people

"C makes it easier to shoot on the foot.. While C++ makes it harder. But when you do it blows your whole leg off" - Mr Bjarne

I think that with C++ one can build a Learning Being , Doing and Having entity also , Liked and Shared . Thank You :) QC

I think its good to know from somebody who is 'supposed to know' that..at 24:45 ..an Executive summary is something that fits on a half-sheet of paper using Very Large print. I like his honesty and discreet good humor. Lol

Do what you fear and do what you fear not at the same time.

I have no idea what he's talking about but he does seem super smart.

This was a few months before I was born. Still love C++^^

Salute sir 👏

03:10 simula, PhD, Cambridge, project distributed systems, simulator 04:46 pascal, strong typed systems 05:57 find a way to run more efficiently 07:15 rewrite BCPL, direct ancestor of the C language 08:35 program organisation, runtime efficiency 09:12 Bell labs, C with classes 09:56 why C ? 10:50 my business was program organisation 11:48 classes came in

18:52 "If, on the other hand, you work under DOS... it'll feel like a DOS language." Hahaha! He spoke these words in 1994, when DOS programmers were suffering with the inelegance of segmented memory and the 20-bit memory barrier. C/C++ for DOS had to include near vs. far pointers and memory models.. ugh!

his hard work paid off fortunately, for us at least. at least we pay his overtimes with thank you

It would be a dream of mine to meet that man. Just a fantastic human being :) I have NEVER done anything worthy by writing software. In the early 1990's I was introduced to the "home computer", and in the late 1990's I took some programming classes at a (very expensive, overrated university), and decided that I want to be a "programmer". One of the books we used in the C++ class was the Deitel & Deitel one. That didn't happen. I ended up transferring in year 3 of my IT degree to a community college (yeah, stupid) and got an A.S. IT there, and never found a job with it upon graduation. At community college I took courses in things like Java, and did poorly. In the early 2000's I bought numerous programming books from the likes of Barnes & Noble and then from Amazon, thinking that "if I just get THAT book, then I'll be able to write software". One book I bought was one of Barne's older C++ books. In the late 2010's I was homeschooling my son along with my wife, and I bought MORE programming books. While I did teach how to write simple computer programs, my own frustrations at not having met my own dream of being a programmer manifested themselves in my son ultimately hating doing any programming. Upon my divorce from her, I threw away many of the books. Surely by now I'd never have to worry about those programming books again! In the past two years I've gotten MORE books, and threw others away, and at one point I was liking PHP & MySQL. I even made a heart beat/pressure tracker for my husband. In the past few months I've started thinking about programming again, and one of the books I just received in the mail today was Barne's book Principals & Practices Using C++, and I have to say that I am really enjoying this C++ book. Despite my frustrations with programming over the years, SOMETHING about it keeps drawing me back. Fingers crossed this time :)

is this for beginners?

I love c++ so much. But disappointed is that most of the it sectors are ditching this amazing language

Obviously C++ has changed a lot since then, but I definitely think it's still a language that adapts to solve contemporary problems. Threads, std::function and smart pointers are a great example

Nobody has mentioned the flying duck, what does it signal?

Bjarne Stoustrup speaks my mind. I love freedom of choice. So here is my small list of prefered programming languages: 1) "C" => for driver development ... 2) "C++" => for hardware near system software development & complex applications with realtime requirements ... 3) "Python" => for quick & "dirty" prototyping application software ... concept studies etc. ... 4) "Go" => system & application software development targeting distributed systems ... ...

I use this video fall asleep quickly 😅😅

You can see his book "The Design and Evolution of C++" behind him on the blackboard at the 9:58 mark.

He is a brilliant hardworking decent man

I'm thinking to learn DOS again to start everything which I didn't concentrated 20 year's ago

I like how he occasionally pulls the string on the bird

He made a great choice building off of C

Por favor alguém ponha legendas em portugues, please...

HOw does one determine what "Overhead" is?

He already talked without bells and whistles... well without bells for sure!

via Wikipedia "In 1979, Bjarne Stroustrup, a Danish computer scientist, began work on "C with Classes", the predecessor to C++. In 1982, Stroustrup started to develop a successor to C with Classes, which he named "C++" (++ being the increment operator in C) after going through several other names. New features were added, including virtual functions, function name and operator overloading, references, constants, type-safe free-store memory allocation (new/delete), improved type checking, and BCPL style single-line comments with two forward slashes (//). Furthermore, Stroustrup developed a new, standalone compiler for C++, Cfront. In 1985, the first edition of The C++ Programming Language was released, which became the definitive reference for the language, as there was not yet an official standard. The first commercial implementation of C++ was released in October of the same year. In 1989, C++ 2.0 was released, followed by the updated second edition of The C++ Programming Language in 1991. New features in 2.0 included multiple inheritance, abstract classes, static member functions, const member functions, and protected members. In 1990, The Annotated C++ Reference Manual was published. This work became the basis for the future standard. Later feature additions included templates, exceptions, namespaces, new casts, and a Boolean type. "

I am 31 yrs old, I've been a cook all my life (for 13years) and now i started my coding journey like 3 weeks ago... but, I am really struggling, for some reason, i'm having a hard time in remembering some stuff and making sense of some of them (why some code work the way they do), i don't know if im overthinking it or what but, I really want to learn this programming language.

the legend

I love to mathematics prevent me to deep in language theory; But I like and I consider C and C++ are true languages.

C++ rocks.

Hi! I work as Chef. Just passing by ..

My phone fell between the seat of my car as I was driving and this video started playing on my bluetooth and for like 5 min I was like what the f'ck is Trevor Noah taking about.

I need that birdie.

When this interview was done ?

can we reproduce illegal copies of video ??

which year this video

14:46 interesting... ?

那时真年轻啊

He was 44 at the time of recording.

Hvorfor laver du ikke et video på dansk ?

when your teacher have some existential issues. Great lecture !

Recompile my world :-)

2x still sounds slow

He opens & closes his pen about ten times a minute. I'm not even joking! 🤣

Coding creates creation.

omg, the Creator of C++. This man is a legend in programming world.

17:16 i even couldn't think to doing this

It's like he's talking directly to r/bitcoin.

good quality video for 1994

How much coffee is in this tiny cup?

24:26 - 25:26

Listen to 14:25 up to 15:32

My view on languages is: The language allows you to express your ideas, in this context, in a clear an concise way. The better the language is in supporting the human way of expressing ideas, and at the same time, the better this could be translated to the way a machine understood it…. It will enable you to craft exceptional results! C++ is a great language for the purpose it was designed for. It has a vast set of features which takes some time to master. The real challenge imho is how we are taught how to program. Some people never recover 😎

Hang on, so C++ today can still link with a fortran object?

The most beautiful man in the world. 😍
