| This page is devoted to the elite programmers and inventors of computers and the history surrounding them. Check out some of the links you'll learn something. You'll also notice that their is an emphesis on the history of the computer. Here's a list of elite programmers and what made the elite: John Kemeny (developer of BASIC) Bill Gates (invented DOS / creator of Microsoft Corporation) Paul Allen (creators of Microsoft Corporation) John Louis Von Neumann (invented binary code for memory devices. this concept allowed programs to be stored within a device. computer chips later used binary code to store a set of instructions. compare it to positive and negative charges in p-type and n-type material.) Ada Lovelace (inventor of the first high level language) Blaise Pascal (inveted the first calculating machine) Herman Hollerith (used Jacquards idea to record numeric data. His company helped form IBM) Gottfried von Liebniz (modified Pascals calculator to add, subtract, multiply, divide, and extract square roots) Joseph Marie Jacquard (invented a machine to control color patterns for weaving) Charles Babbage (forerunner for creating the modern computer) Howard Aiken (creator of the first digital computer the Mark I) John Mauchly (invented a computer after Aikens Mark I that could address problems other than simultaneous equations. With the help of J. Presper Eckert they invented the ENIAC. he and Eckert later developed the UNIVAC computer. General Electric company purchased the UNIVAC. IBM responded with its IBM 650. The period of the UNIVAC and the IBM 650 1954-1959 is referred to as the FIRST GENERATION OF COMPUTERS and was dominated by IBM who had more resources.) John Atanasoff and assistant Clifford Berry (Created the ABC computer in the same year as Aiken. His machine could solve complex mathmatical equations simultaneously) Niklaus Wirth (created the PASCAL language) Phillip Kahn (modified PASCAL to create TurboPascal) Dennis Ritchie (In the early 1970s was involved in the MULTICS project which failed do to a rivialing company. With his help Bell Laboratories and Ken Thompson wrote the UNIX operating system with the C programming language. Ritchie also wrote a veru popular book on the C language. Ken Thompson (co-creator of UNIX) Bjarne Stroustrup (modified C to invent the C++ language) Babylonian merchants (used clay tablets to keep records) Chinese wise men (invented the abacus thousands of yrs ago) Links that support elite programmers: http://ei.cs.vt.edu/history/VonNeumann.html http://www.research.att.com/bs/C++.html http://www.research.att.com/bs/ http://www.cs.iastate.edu/jva/jva-archive.html http://www.zpub.com/un/bill/ http://www.islandnet.com/kpolsson/comphist.htm http://dave4.8m.com/ http://www.maths.tcd.ie/pub/HistMath/People/Pascal/RouseBall/RB_Pascal.html http://www.invent.org/book/book-text/57.html http://www.a-ten.com/alz/aturing.htm http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/dmr/ http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/ http://it.stlawu.edu/dmelvill/mesomath/index.html http://aleph0.clarku.edu/djoyce/mathhist/babylonia.html Steve+Jobs+Links: http://ei.cs.vt.edu/~history/Jobs.html Bill+Gates+Links: http://www.microsoft.com/BillGates/ Computer+History+Links: http://www.digitalcentury.com/encyclo/update/comp_hd.html Multics+Chronology: http://www.multicians.org/history.html Mathmatics+Chronology: http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/mathhist/chronology.html Have+A+Diffucult+Question+That+You+Need+Answered?+Leave It+On+My+Message+Board+For+90+days: http://www.InsideTheWeb.com/mbs.cgi/mb668156 Got+A+Question?+My+Chat+Room+To+Meet+Other+People+Who Like+To+Discuss+Computer+Topics: http://mercury.beseen.com/chat/rooms/p/7948 |
