ENIAC in Action: Making and Remaking the Modern Computer
Conceived in 1943, completed in 1945, and decommissioned in 1955, ENIAC (the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) was the first general-purpose programmable electronic computer. But ENIAC…

    History of Computing
  • 14 February 2011
TLDR
A Science of Operations examines the history of what the authors now call programming, defined not simply as computer programming, but more broadly as the definition of the steps involved in computations and other information-processing activities.

Practical Object-oriented Design with UML
TLDR
This course names many of good things that i ve done in code some patterns that i didn t even know how they are named how to implement them fully and also bad practices and anti patterns that I fall into sometimes, introduction to design patterns.
Network Composition
TLDR
The main aim of this paper is to highlight the need and potential benefits of this novel networking procedure, as well as setting its main aspects, in terms of required mechanisms.

Reconsidering the Stored-Program Concept
TLDR
A historical explanation of the endemic confusion surrounding the stored-program concept is given and the adoption of more precisely defined alternatives are suggested to capture specific aspects of the new approach to computing associated with the 1945 work of von Neumann and his collaborators.

Formal framework for hypertext systems
TLDR
It is argued that this specification provides a framework for hypertext systems in that it provides explicit and unambiguous definitions of hypertext terms, an explicit environment for the presentation, comparison and evaluation ofhypertext systems, and a foundation for future research and development in the field.

Engineering "The Miracle of the ENIAC": Implementing the Modern Code Paradigm
TLDR
Treating this as a case of user-driven innovation, the authors document the conversion process and compare capabilities of the reconstructed machine to those of the first modern computers.

Logic and the development of programming languages, 1930-1975
TLDR
The picture that emerges is that formal logic was deliberately employed by programming designers to provide a model for a theoretical understanding of programming languages and the process of program development, which led to a flourishing research programme in the 1960s and 1970s.

  • 1 September 2017
TLDR
The origins of Lisp in the early AI programming work of the mid-to-late 1950s are examined, the key technical differences between it and the style first manifested in the Logic Theory Machine are analyzed, and it is concluded that programming practice and experience play a large and underappreciated role in the development of programming styles and languages.
