Here is a sample of the code he has written showing his programming style. You can access his full biography here. Dennis Ritchie is the co-creator of the C Programming language, the underpinning language for many software systems. It is used in many different industries and has inspired a whole series of programming languages or C-like languages. The language is taught in computer science courses, inside Universities and educational institutions, is a foundational language for software developers.
Dennis was also the co-creator of Unix, a family of operating systems that were developed in the s. Unix lead the way and became very popular for its features, by having a modular design, unified filesystem, and the Unix Shell later developed into Bash.
Dennis, along with his co-founder, was awarded the Turing Award. One of the most prestigious awards in the field of computer science. Dennis is a leader in computer science, providing an incredible language that has taken the world by storm. Brian Kernighan is co-author the first C Programming book. The significance of the C Programming language is tremendous. Brian has been a professor of the computer science division at Princeton University since the year Brian was also contributed to the development of Unix, a family of operating systems that were released in the s.
This is the same book we listed in the previous section, a fundamental book on C: C Programming Language. Linus is a pioneer in the industry with his engineering mindset, and relentless ability to develop software systems.
James Gosling is the inventor of the Java programming language. He is a Canadian computer scientist and distinguished engineer at Amazon Web Services. His contributions to the field of computer science are phenomenal.
For example, clicking "Female computer pioneers" displays all females who helped develop and contribute to the computer industry. Home History. Computer inventors and pioneers This section of Computer Hope is designed to find a basic overview of individuals who have contributed significantly to areas that relate to computers.
ENIAC was soon surpassed by other computers that stored their programs in electronic memories. The vacuum tubes were replaced first by transistors and eventually by microchips, with which the computer miniaturization race commenced. But that giant machine, built by the great winner of the Second World War, launched our digital age. Nowadays, it would be unanimously considered the first true computer in history if it were not for Konrad Zuse , who decided in to reconstruct his Z3, which had been destroyed by a bombing in The replica was exhibited at the Deutsches Museum in Munich, where it is found today.
Focused on making it work, Zuse was never aware that he had in his hands the first universal computing machine. It depends.
