TIMESTAMPS

Modified February 27, 2012

Please note that many of these interviews are written interviews based on submitted questions and many have been consider "publication quality" (and published in magazines and/or as book chapters). If you want to get an idea of what C++ is and was meant to be reading an interview or two may be a good approach.

If you have an interview that I have missed please send me a link.
