Home›Software And Its Engineering›Born›By Decade›1950sBrowse By1950sThis dimension groups computing pioneers by the year they were born, showing which generation of the field they belong to. Wikipedia notes that the history of computing "extends beyond the history of computing hardware and modern computing technology," spanning a very long line of contributors born across many different generations. Browsing by born year lets a visitor compare pioneers from the same generation.Facts1950sSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1965 CE 11950sFilter Results60 entriesFieldAllCompilers and Language Implementation (2)Distributed Systems Software (1)Formal Methods and Verification (14)Operating Systems Software (7)Programming Language Designers (18)Software Engineering Methodology and Process (10)Software Tools and Development Environments (7)ACM AreaAllSoftware Engineering (2)GroupAllCompilers and Language Implementation (2)Distributed Systems Software (1)Formal Methods and Verification (14)Operating Systems Software (7)Programming Language Designers (18)Software Engineering Methodology and Process (10)Software Tools and Development Environments (7)NationalityAllCanada (3)Denmark (1)France (1)Germany (4)Israel (1)Italy (1)Japan (1)Netherlands (2)United Kingdom (2)United States (12)BrowseCompareSelect all 60Alexander Stepanov1950sAndrew Koenig1950sBertrand Meyer1950sBill Joy1950sBjarne Stroustrup1950sBrian Cantwell Smith1950sCarl Sassenrath1950sCarol Spradling1950sDan Bricklin1950sDanese Cooper1950sDavid Bohnett1950sDavid Harel1950sDavid L.
