C++ is a very powerful, fast growing computer language. The scope of the C++ Programming For Beginners web site is geared towards beginners to C++ and computer programming.

C++ is and expansion on the C computer language. In fact C++ contains the entire C programming language. C++ got its name because it is based on C. In C, ++ means to increase by 1, so the name C++ was a way signifying an expansion or elevation of the C programming language.

C++ was created in 1980 by Dr. Bjarne Stroustrup of Bell Laboratories, New Jersey. C++ was created mainly so Dr. Stroustrup and friends would not be limited to the programming languages available at that time. C++ allowed for complexities to be handled more easily and used classes to hold information that could logically be grouped together.
