C++ on the World-Wide Web

Marcus Speh

(Preliminary abstract of a paper submitted to the 1st Int. WWW conference at CERN.)


This article provides an introduction to Resources for C++ and object-oriented programming on the World-Wide Web [WWW]. For programmers who are new to the Web a relatively detailed account of the history of the Web is given and common access methods to resources are referenced. In an outlook, I shall give a perspective for the optimized presentation of C++ libraries on WWW, referring to current High Energy Physics projects using C++. An example is Toby Burnett's GISMO development code.
