Herb Sutter
Herb Sutter is a prominent C++ expert. He is also a book author and a columnist for Dr. Dobb's Journal. He joined Microsoft in 2002 as a platform evangelist for Visual C++ .NET, rising to lead software architect for C++/CLI.[1] Sutter served as secretary and convener of the ISO C++ standards committee for over 10 years. In September 2008 he was replaced by P.J. Plauger. He then re-assumed the convener position,[2] after Plauger resigned in October 2009.[3][4] In recent years Sutter was lead designer for C++/CX and C++ AMP.[5]

Education and career
Sutter was born and raised in Oakville, Ontario, before studying computer science at Canada's University of Waterloo.[6]
From 1995 to 2001 he was chief technology officer at PeerDirect where he designed the PeerDirect database replication engine.[6]
Guru of the Week
From 1997 to 2003, Sutter regularly created C++ programming problems and posted them on the Usenet newsgroup comp.lang.c++.moderated, under the title Guru of the Week. The problems generally addressed common misconceptions or poorly understood concepts in C++. Sutter later published expanded versions of many of the problems in his first two books, Exceptional C++ and More Exceptional C++. New articles, mostly related to C++11, were published since November 2011. [7]
The Free Lunch Is Over
"The Free Lunch Is Over" is an article[8] from Herb Sutter published in 2005. It stated that microprocessor serial-processing speed is reaching a physical limit, which leads to two main consequences:
- processor manufacturers will focus on products that better support multithreading (such as multi-core processors), and
- software developers will be forced to develop massively multithreaded programs as a way to better use such processors.
