- Visual C++ is not a programming language. It is just the name of
- Microsoft's C++ compiler----simply a particular implementation of
- C++.
-
- For a history of C++, the programming language, start with...
-
- "The Design and Evolution of C++" by Bjarne Stroustrup
- Addison-Wesley Publishing Company
-
- "The C++ Programming Language" by Bjarne Stroustrup
- Addison-Wesley Publishing Company
-
- You should be able to find these books even in the computer section
- of some mainstream bookstores.
-
- First tip for your project: Bjarne Stroustrup is the creator of C++.
