Industry, academia should be in sync, says C++ founder

PUNE: There is a need for better collaboration between the academia and the industry, stressed Bjarne Stroustrup, founder of the programming language C++, in an exclusive chat with the TOI on Saturday. He said both parties can work in sync to create industry-ready professionals.

"I firmly believe in a multi-disciplinary approach during professional studies and also during the entire span of a person's career. One should be keen to take up new subjects as and when required," said he Stroustrup. "If possible, even teachers should be exposed to industry experiences every once a while."

Stroustrup was in the city to kick off the annual tech-lecture series at Persistent Systems with a talk on 'Modern C++ Style', which was watched by 3,000 students from 43 colleges and 1,800 professionals from Persistent and five other companies.
