  •  1993: AT&T Bell Laboratories Fellow.
  •  1993: The ACM Grace Murray Hopper award for his early work laying the foundations for the C++ programming language. based on those foundations and Dr. Stroustrup's continuing efforts, C++ has become one of the most influential programming languages in the history of computing. 
  • 1990: Named one of "America's twelve top young scientists" by Fortune Magazine. Earlier recipients include Claude Shannon. 
  • 1990: His book "The Annotated C++ Reference Manual" received Dr Dobb's "Jolt Cola" award for excellence in technical documentation 
  • 1989, he took an active role in the creation of the ANSI/ISO standard for C++ and continues to work on the maintenance and revision of that standard.

AUDIO GA3-240202501-AA2-EV02

Image
 AUDIO AUDIO about the  trajectory, plans, actions and solutions of their academic and work context. For the evidence, some parameters had to be followed, which are: a. Part 1. During the development of the audio, do not forget to make a short presentation of the basic data of the  learner (full name, ID, file, instructor and name of the activity).  b. Part 2. In the next part of the audio I mentioned a short opinion about the trajectory, plans, actions and  solutions of their academic and work context, taking into account the flexibility and adaptability in the  contexts of leadership and professional responsibility (making decisions: zero, first and second conditional,  self-direction, flexibility and adaptability in job contexts about leadership and responsibility) Audio Video Search Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ekxapukz6k

Critical thinking and media literacy

Image
 Critical thinking and media literacy  It is a term applied to the analysis of data or ideas by using observation, experience, reasoning and logic in order to arrive at a conclusion. When we think critically, we try to go beyond understanding just the superficial elements of a text, idea or problem and we try to decipher the implicit intentions or arguments behind them and question these. Through critical thinking, we can analyze messages to which we are exposed in the media. Media are the channels through which humankind communicates. Media conveys meaning through different mediums such as television broadcasts, newspapers or films. Media includes radio, videos, recorded music, magazines, junk mail, comic books, computer software, the internet, video games, and advertisements. What is media literacy? This basically means that when we hear or look at media, we can miss elements that are not obvious or explicit. Media literacy is about learning to “read” media in order to find ...
