General ? about how electronics are programmed

I just starting out with C++ and i was wondering how, lets say your house oven, is programmed. What piece of equipment do you need to buy to connect sensors, lets say temperature sensors? Can cant seemed to find any information on this topic.

Can someone point me in the right direction.

Lets say i had a project. I wanted to create my own oven. I have most of the components. I dont have the sensors, and the electronics. I want to program in C++. Is this possible?
It's called an MCU, a MicroController Unit. The cheapest MCU's that you can program in C, maybe C++ would be from a company called Microchip.
Allen, sure it's possible. It's kinda ambitious for a first project because it's really two different projects. Embedded systems, and C/C++.

But you might want to look at a few places:

http://www.hobbyprojects.com/microcontroller_tutorials.html
http://www.pitt.edu/~sorc/robotics/

Or just do a web search for microcontroller.
