Today, we’re going to look at the history of programming Since Joseph Marie Jacquard’s textile loom in 1801, there has been a demonstrated need to give our machines instructions. In the last ...

Tony Brooker, the mathematician and computer scientist who designed the programming language for the world’s first commercial computer, died Nov. 20 at a nursing home in Hexham, England. He was 94.

Most are about hardware. But, some YouTubers focus on JUST programming 8 bit computers and some on JUST certain platforms. So for example there's a guy who only talks about Applesoft BASIC.

Kids who were lucky or privileged enough (or both) to gain access to computers that ran BASIC—the VIC-20, the Commodore 64, janky Sinclair boxes in the UK—immediately started writing games ...

An expert in the history of computing explains how and why coding went from a mostly female job to a field with a major gender problem.

The team will start by studying code from online repositories, such as Github and BitBucket, as well as analyzing questions and responses posted on StackExchange. This massive dataset will be used to ...

And we didn’t really know how to do it at that time.” Gries’ research in programming methodology involves making computer science more accessible to beginners.

How to Become a Computer Programmer Many computer programmers begin as self-taught enthusiasts and a persistent interest in programming can be an asset in your career because continued learning is ...

I think the ‘aha’ moment we are heading for is this: programming language doesn’t matter half as much as it used to and frankly, we should stop talking so much about them.

After meeting Alan Turing, Mr. Brooker went to work at the University of Manchester and wrote the programming language for the first commercial computer.
