== History ==
A++ was developed by Georg  P. Loczewski and Britain Hamm in the years from 1996 - 2002<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.aplusplus.net/aplpleorigin/node1.html |title=Origin of A++ |publisher= |accessdate=July 14, 2018}}</ref> working as a software developer for Bull's Software-Haus in Langen, Germany and as a freelance programmer with the purpose to serve as a learning instrument rather than as a programming language used to solve practical problems.

The development of A++ is based on the 'Lambda Calculus' by Alonzo Church and is influenced by Guy L. Steele's Programming Language Scheme.

A++ is intended to be an effective tool to become familiar with the core of programming and with programming patterns that can be applied in other languages needed to face the real world.

== Publications ==
The first published documentation appeared in German in January 2003 with the title 'Programmierung pur --- Programmieren fundamental und ohne Grenzen' ('Undiluted Programming') (919 pages) {{ISBN|978-3-87820-108-3}}.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lambda-bound.com/book/engl/node1.html |title=Programmierung pur --- Programmieren fundamental und ohne Grenzen' ('Undiluted Programming') |publisher= |author=Georg P.

In the year 2005 followed an introduction to A++ in English with the title: 'A++ The Smallest Programming Language in the World --- An Educational Language (242 pages) {{ISBN|978-3-87820-116-8}}.
