This video is part ofElectronic Design's 70th Anniversary series.
This is a bit like Mel BrooksHistory of the World, Part Ifor programmers.
I've been writing a number of articles and recording numerous videos related toElectronic Design'shistory and the technology and people we have followed over the years. There's way too much that occurred for me to cover it all, so I'm shamelessly highlighting those who have helped do that job of informing and entertaining. I still need to meet Mark Rendle some day, but in the mean time, you can enjoy his video presentations on history and humor on YouTube.
"Mark is founder of Rendle Labs, creators of CloudLens and providers of consultancy and training in next-generation .NET and cloud computing. Mark has been doing this stuff for more than quarter of a century, and he still hasn't got bored. The rumors that Mark starts rumors about himself, to make himself look better than he is, are definitely not true.
“加入马克一样,短暂停留,浅-to-the-point-of-vacuous tour through the history of programming and programming languages, from the surprise twist at the beginning, through the Golden Age of LISP, C, and Smalltalk, right up to the present day. What was the Greatest Programming Language ever? Which is better: dynamic or static typing? Why is Java? What does the future of programming hold for the brave adventurer? Discover the answers to none of these questions or indeed any others in this utterly pointless but hopefully entertaining talk. Warning: not suitable for children or IT managers."
Having used most of the languages he mentions at some point in my career, it was an interesting look back at the evolution from someone else's perspective.
