C++

C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup as an object-oriented extension to C. It is now one of the most widely-used languages of all, which is in part because of its C heritage; almost all legal C programs are also legal C++ programs. An ANSI standard is in preparation and should be ratified soon.

Development tools:

	DJGPP, DJ Delorie's port of gcc, the GNU C compiler, which also supports C++.
	A C++ class browser which generates class hierarchies and interface specifications from C++ header files
	A C++ source code beautifier

Tutorials and FAQs:

	C++ Annotations, a C++ tutorial
	The Coronado C++ tutorial. This is a shareware tutorial from Coronado Enterprises, so if you find it useful you should pay the author for his trouble. The examples it refers to need to be installed separately.
	A modest STL tutorial, all about the C++ Standard Template Library
	Mumit's STL Newbie guide
	The C++ FAQ
	The Microsoft Foundation Classes FAQ
	The Available C++ Libraries FAQ
	The DJGPP FAQ, all about the DJGPP compiler
	The Object-Oriented FAQ

Reference materials:

The Ellemtel Style Guide

Software resources:

	Some C++ class libraries
	Several source code examples, including the examples from the book Object-Oriented Software in C++ by my colleague Mike Smith

External resources:

	Jon's C++ Resources Directory produced by Jon Morris-Smith at the University of Birmingham has links to most of the available C++ resources worldwide
	Standard Template Library
	The C++ Virtual Library
	Cetus Object-Orientation Links, a site with links to information about object-oriented programming and languages around the world
	The OO SoapBox
	The C/C++ User Group
	C/C++ links at Yahoo (or at Yahoo UK)
	The comp.lang.c++ newsgroup is also a useful source of C++ information
