Developer Of FORTRAN Dead At 82 by my2cents(m): 3:08pm On Mar 20, 2007 |
Let’s all take a moment to honor the memory of John W. Backus who put together the team at IBM that developed FORTRAN, the first widely used high-level language, back in the 1950’s. We’ve come a long way since then. He is perhaps the single reason why there is even a "webmaster" section on Nairaland. May his soul RIP - Amen!! http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/19/obituaries/20cnd-backus.html?ex=1332043200&en=adde3ee5a1875330&ei=5124&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink |

Oh come on, FORTRAN has nothing to do with Webmastering. If he didn't do it, someone else would have. 1 Like |

Sure he did, albeit in a subtle manner. I mean, no matter how simple, anyone in the web dev discipline is a programmer in their own respect. |
