  • Learning to Code
    PART ILEARNING TO CODE How Important is Programming? “To understand computers is to know about programming. The world is divided… into people who have written a program and people who have not.” Ted Nelson, Computer Lib/Dream Machines (1974) How important is it for you to learn to program a computer? Since the introduction of the first digital electronic computers in the 1940s, people have answered this question in surprisingly different ways. During the first wave of commercial computing—in the 1950s and 1960s, when 1large and expensive mainframe computers filled entire rooms—the standard advice was that only a limited number of specialists would be needed to program com- puters using simple input devices like switches, punched cards, and paper tape. Even during the so-called “golden age” of corporate computing in America—the mid- to late 1960s—it was still unclear how many programming technicians would be needed to support the rapid computerization of the nation’s business, military, and commercial operations. For a while, some experts thought that well-designed computer systems might eventually program themselves, requiring only a handful of attentive managers to keep an eye on the machines. By the late 1970s and early 1980s, however, the rapid emergence of personal computers (PCs), and continuing shortages of computer professionals, shifted popular thinking on the issue. When consumers began to adopt low-priced PCs like the Apple II (1977), the IBM PC (1981), and the Commodore 64 (1982) by the millions, it seemed obvious that ground-breaking changes were afoot. The “PC Revolution” opened up new frontiers, employed tens of thousands of people, and (according to some enthusiasts) demanded new approaches to computer literacy.

    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.

    APL (programming language) 1 APL (programming language) APL Paradigm array, functional, structured, modular Appeared in 1964 Designed by Kenneth E. Iverson Developer Kenneth E. Iverson Typing discipline dynamic Major implementations IBM APL2, Dyalog APL, APL2000, Sharp APL, APLX Dialects A+, Dyalog APL, APLNext Influenced by mathematical notation [1] [2] [3] [4] Influenced J, K, Mathematica, MATLAB, Nial, PPL, Q APL (named after the book A Programming Language)[5] is an interactive array-oriented language and integrated development environment which is available from a number of commercial and non-commercial vendors[6] and for most computer platforms.[7] It is based on a mathematical notation developed by Kenneth E. Iverson. APL has a combination of unique and relatively uncommon features that appeal to programmers and make it a productive programming language:[8] • It is concise, using symbols rather than words and applying functions to entire arrays without using explicit loops. • It is solution focused, emphasizing the expression of algorithms independently of machine architecture or operating system. • It has just one simple, consistent, and recursive precedence rule: the right argument of a function is the result of the entire expression to its right. • It facilitates problem solving at a high level of abstraction. APL is used in scientific,[9] actuarial,[8] statistical,[10] and financial applications where it is used by practitioners for their own work and by programmers to develop commercial applications. It was an important influence on the development of spreadsheets, functional programming,[11] and computer math packages.[3] It has also inspired several other programming languages.[1] [2] [4] It is also associated with rapid and lightweight development projects in volatile business environments.[12] History The first incarnation of what was later to be the APL programming language was published and formalized in A Programming Language,[5] a book describing a notation invented in 1957 by Kenneth E.
