I've recently come around to reading
http://www.research.att.com/~bs/hopl-almost-final.pdf which is the
history and evolution of the C++ programming language written by
Bjarne himself. I definitely recommend this read for those interested
in finding out more about C++, the history, and the future directions
to which the language will be heading.
Have fun, and happy independence day weekend to the Filipino's on the list! :)
