The 1990s were a boom time for new programming languages. The rise of the internet and the increasing complexity of software ...

Computers need programming languages to function. That’s just a simple fact of life. However, these languages didn’t just spring up out of nowhere. They were developed by people for explicit ...

Back in 2000, Ian Buck and a small computer graphics team at Stanford University were watching the steady evolution of computer graphics processors for gaming and thinking about how such devices could ...

The evolution of computer languages (infographic) Did you know that the first programming language was created 200 years ago, or that most operating systems are based on a 40-year-old language?

There were *lots* of magazines back in the 80s. As you note, many were specific to one computer or another. A+ for Apple, STart and ST Format for Atari ST, Amiga had a few, Atari 8-bits had Antic ...

The evolution of computer programming has been largely independent of actual computer evolution. ­Languages such as C++ have lived through many generations of computers, and although they’ve ...

Dennis Ritchie, who invented C, the computer programming language that underlies the Unix operating system, Microsoft Windows and much of the software running on computers around the world, dies ...

Creating synthetic life could be easily within our grasp soon based on a comparison with the evolution of computer chips. Computer programming and gene synthesis appear to share little in common.

Programming has been democratised, in that anyone with some form of coherent thinking can learn it from numerous online sources. But computer science is NOT about programming, it is not about how many ...
