  • Swsoft Gewinnt Ex-Microsoft-Systemarchitekten Als Senior Technical Advisor
    SWsoft gewinnt Ex-Microsoft-Systemarchitekten als Senior Technical Advisor Mark Zbikowski kommt mit Expertenwissen über Windows- Systemprogrammierung zum Unternehmen für Virtualisierungs- und Automatisierungssoftware Darmstadt, 17.01.2008. – SWsoft vermeldet einen prominenten neuen Berater: Mark Zbikowski, ehemaliger Systemarchitekt bei Microsoft und einer der Pioniere der Softwareentwicklung überhaupt, wird für das Unternehmen als Senior Technical Advisor tätig. In dieser Funktion wird er SWsoft unterstützen, indem er das Entwicklungsteam und die Führungskräfte berät. Während seiner Zeit bei Microsoft leitete Zbikowski MS-DOS-, OS/2-, Cairo- und NT-Projekte. Im Jahre 2006 wurde er für seine 25 Dienstjahre in der Firma geehrt und war der erste Mitarbeiter - nach Bill Gates und Steve Ballmer - der diese Karrieremarke erreichte. Zbikowski entwarf das Dateiformat der „EXE“-Programme unter MS-DOS; seine Initialen „MZ“ zieren bis heute die Kopfdaten dieses Formats für ausführbare Dateien. Er war ein wichtiger Designer und Entwickler für das gängigste Dateisystem Windows NTFS. Heute lehrt Zbikowski an der University of Washington, nachdem er im Juni 2006 bei Microsoft ausgeschieden war. Er besitzt einen von Harvard verliehenen Bachelor-Grad in angewandter Mathematik und einen Master-Abschluss von Yale. "Die Unternehmenskultur bei SWsoft erinnert an die aufregenden Anfangsjahre von Microsoft – eine junge Firma voller Energie und mit riesigen Chancen, die Veränderungen wesentlich mitzugestalten, die es im Einsatz der Informationstechnologie zum Nutzen von Verbrauchern und Unternehmen überall auf der Welt geben wird“, sagt Zbikowski. „Ich freue mich sehr auf den Beginn meiner Mitarbeit an SWsofts kontinuierlicher Entwicklung von Weltklasse-Software für Virtualisierung, Management und Automatisierung.“ “Marks Erfahrungen mit der Erstellung von Systemkomponenten für die meistverbreitete Software weltweit – Microsoft Windows – sind von großer Bedeutung für unsere Arbeit", so Serguei Beloussov, CEO bei SWsoft.

    Code Nation explores the rise of software development as a social, cultural, and technical phenomenon in American history. The movement germinated in government and university labs during the 1950s, gained momentum through corporate and counterculture experiments in the 1960s and 1970s, and became a broad-based computer literacy movement in the 1980s. As personal computing came to the fore, learning to program was transformed by a groundswell of popular enthusiasm, exciting new platforms, and an array of commercial practices that have been further amplified by distributed computing and the Internet. The resulting society can be depicted as a “Code Nation”—a globally- connected world that is saturated with computer technology and enchanted by software and its creation. Code Nation is a new history of personal computing that emphasizes the technical and business challenges that software developers faced when building applications for CP/M, MS-DOS, UNIX, Microsoft Windows, the Apple Macintosh, and other emerging platforms. It is a popular history of computing that explores the experiences of novice computer users, tinkerers, hackers, and power users, as well as the ideals and aspirations of leading computer scientists, engineers, educators, and entrepreneurs. Computer book and magazine publishers also played important, if overlooked, roles in the diffusion of new technical skills, and this book highlights their creative work and influence. Code Nation offers a “behind-the-scenes” look at application and operating-system programming practices, the diversity of historic computer languages, the rise of user communities, early attempts to market PC software, and the origins of “enterprise” computing systems. Code samples and over 80 historic photographs support the text.
