Google Tech Talks May 3, 2007 ABSTRACT DNA is a programminglanguage for living cells. The cell's basic operating system, or genome, directs functions like growth and reproduction, energy utilization, and the production of useful compounds like ethanol or penicillin. With genetic engineering, new functions can be added to cells or broken metabolic pathways repaired. Until recently,...
On this day in 1964 John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz ran the first BASICprogram. Designed to be an easy-to-use programming language for students, BASIC has stood the test of time and is probably the first language many of us mastered in our early geek years. The two also created the Dartmouth Time Sharing System, [...]
By Lyle Bateman Contributing Writer, [GAS] On May 1st, 1964, in the early morning, the world's first BASIC compiler began to run. The “Beginner’s All-PurposeSymbolicInstructionCode” was designed to sit on the opposite end of the programming spectrum from the more complex, scientifically based languages of the time, such as Fortran. It...

There are two people who probably don't know it but to them I owe most of what I know about computerprogramming. One of them is Dave Winer. I learnt to program using BASIC in the early 80’s but I learnt to love programming when I discovered Frontier in the mid 90’s. Ah those were [...]
Edsger Dijkstra had this to say about Beginner's All PurposeSymbolicInstructionCode: It is practically impossible to teach good programming style to students that have had prior exposure to BASIC; as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration. I'm sure he was exaggerating here for effect; as much as I admire his 1972 "The Humble...
Visual Basic is a good choice for anyone wanting to make a start with computerprogramming. While purists may think that C is a better language it can be hard to get started and text only programs do lack instant...
Usually I don't bother blogging about these, but this one is particularly bad. Anyone with with basic SQL knowledge could have registered anyone he wanted as a sex offender. One of the cardinal rules of computerprogramming is to never trust your input. This holds especially true when your input comes from users, and even more so when it comes...
Programming has never been my forte. While I can do enough HTML to put together a very basic website, however, I couldn’t code my way out of a wet paper bag. Now had this board game been out when I was younger, that might be a different story. The C-jump ComputerProgramming Board Game teaches kids 11 and up the basics of C, C++ and Java coding. The “game helps to...
Steve Jobs knew that for the Mac to be successful it would need third party developers, and the most crucial third party developer in the late pre-Macintosh days was Microsoft. Steve was particularly interested in getting a version of the programminglanguageBASIC specifically made for the Mac. Of course…

Common Lisp is the most fun programminglanguage I’ve ever programmed in.And I’ve programmed in a few: C Java Python Perl BASICHaskell Pascal C# I like Lisp. I think it has a lot to offer. I also think it has a lot of room to grow — so much potential! People criticize Lisp a lot, especially those who haven't used it. I also hear a lot of people getting defensive about Lisp, even...
As a programmer, I started quite early, when I learnt GW-BASIC on my sister’s PC, and then continuing (yes I know that it's more a regression, but..) with the C64 BASIC and then QBASIC on MS-DOS 6. Probably most of you wouldn't consider BASIC a programminglanguage, but I was 7 years old, it was enough already. I then learnt VisualBASIC 5 through a...
