Publications by Bjarne Stroustrup

Modified April 23, 2024

Here is a reasonably complete list of my publications in reverse chronological order. Should you know of translations, interview, etc., that I have missed, please email me the reference (Bjarne at Stroustrup dot com).

In addition to traditional papers, I have:

• Interviews. Many of those interviews are written and extensive; many are published in magazines or as book chapters. I used to list those as publications, but maintaining two entries for each and deciding which were "publications quality" became tedious.
• Books (including reviews, sample chapters, errata, and other supporting information). Each book is also listed in its proper chronological spot in this list. I have a collection of covers.
• Technical reports that I have authored or co-authored for the ISO C++ standards committee.
