This is a panorama of the C++ programming language and related topics. It is not complete, by any measure. It's just a modest attempt to offer some information and links to the topics dealt with in these pages. We'll be talking about features of the C++ language, authors and books on C++, object-oriented concepts and technologies and authors of books on them, tools for the development of C++ programs, and operating systems. Everything from the point of view of a C++ application programmer. That is, me. :-)

Here are the contents:
