C++ is a key industry-standard in programming language for the development of efficient, portable software. Strategic IT Services C++ professionals utilize its flexibility, top-down behavioral design and access to hardware or operating system operations. Their knowledge of advanced programming techniques in C++ allows our programmers to produce efficient code that achieves business goals.

C++ is a general-purpose, programming language with high-level and low-level capabilities. It is a statically typed, free-form, multi-paradigm, usually compiled language supporting procedural programming, data abstraction, object-oriented programming, and generic programming. Since the 1990s, C++ has been one of the most popular commercial programming languages.

C++ is regarded as a mid-level language. This indicates that C++ is comprised of a combination of both high-level and low-level language features.

Developed in 1983 at Bell Labs as an enhancement to the C programming language. Enhancements started with the addition of classes, followed by, among other features, virtual functions, operator overloading, multiple inheritance, templates, and exception handling. The C++ programming language standard was ratified in 1998 as ISO/IEC 14882:1998, the current version of which is the 2003 version, ISO/IEC 14882:2003. A new version of the standard (known informally as C++0x) is being developed.

C++ continues to evolve to meet future requirements. A new version of the C++ standard is currently being worked on, entitled C++0x, denoting that it is expected to be released before 2010. Current work indicates that C++ will continue to capitalize on its multi-paradigm nature. Notable expected improvements are native support for threading and concepts, whick will make working with templates easier. More controversially, adding garbage collection is currently under heavy discussion. Boost.org is a group working to make the most of C++ in its current form. They are greatly expanding C++'s functional and metaprogramming abilities. They also advise the C++ standards committee on which features work well and which need improving.
