Programming Languages – commonly used features in a side-by-side format.

Programming is hard. Programming correct C and C++ is particularly hard. Indeed, both in C and certainly in C++, it is uncommon to see a screenful containing only well defined and conforming code.Why do professional programmers write code like this? Because most programmers do not have a deep understanding of the language they are using.While they sometimes know that certain things are undefined or unspecified, they often do not know why it is so. In these slides we will study small code snippets in C and C++, and use them to discuss the fundamental building blocks, limitations and underlying design philosophies of these wonderful but dangerous programming languages.

Alexander Alexandrovich Stepanov (Russian: Александр Александрович Степанов) (born November 16, 1950 in Moscow) is the primary designer and implementer of the C++ Standard Template Library [1], which he started to develop around 1992 while employed at HP Labs. He had earlier been working for Bell Labs close to Andrew Koenig and tried to convince Bjarne Stroustrup to introduce something like Ada Generics in C++.

Elements of Programming – (November 3, 2010) Speakers Alexander Stepanov and Paul McJones give a presentation on the book titled “Elements of Programming”. They explain why they wrote and attempt to explain their book. They describe programming as a mathematical discipline and that it is extremely useful and should not be overlooked.
