He gained fame primarily through the development of the C ++ programming language , in which he is still involved in standardization today. He currently works at Morgan Stanley .

biography

Stroustrup holds degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science (1975) from Aarhus University and a PhD in Computer Science (1979) from Cambridge University , England. He headed the AT&T Lab ’s Large-scale Programming Research department at Bell Laboratories from its inception until the end of 2002.

In his own words, Stroustrup “invented C ++, wrote its first definitions, and wrote the first implementation […], formulated [the] design criteria for C ++, designed all the major facilities, and [he] was responsible for reviewing proposals for enhancements in the C ++ standardization committee ". Stroustrup also wrote the textbook The C ++ - programming language (English title The C ++ Programming Language ). The text has been reprinted several times in order to do justice to the ongoing development of the language and the work of the C ++ standardization committee.

In 1993 he received the Grace Murray Hopper Award for his work on C ++ and in 2005 the William Procter Prize for Scientific Achievement of the Scientific Research Society ( Sigma Xi ). The St. Petersburg University ITMU awarded Stroustrup an honorary doctorate in 2013 . In July 2015, Stroustrup received the Dahl-Nygaard Prize at the European Conference on Object Oriented Programming (ECOOP) in Prague . Also in 2015 he became a Fellow of the Computer History Museum . For 2017 he was awarded the Faraday Medal of the IET and the Charles Stark Draper Prize of the National Academy of Engineering , for 2018 the Computer Pioneer Award .
