After BASIC, in the early 1970s, Niklaus Wirth developed Pascal, another language meant to solely be a tool to teach students computer programming concepts. “This language was not really developed to ...

By 2014, Python had replaced Java as the go-to programming language for introductory computer courses at major universities, according to findings from the Association for Computing Machinery. This ...

Study fundamental concepts on which programming of languages are based, and execution models supporting them. Topics include values, variables, bindings, type systems, control structures, exceptions, ...

But as they create programming languages for these machines, Svore and her colleagues are still drawing on the work of the latest Turing winners. “We are building on the same techniques,” she ...

BASIC wasn’t designed to change the world. “We were thinking only of Dartmouth,” says Kurtz, its surviving co-creator. (Kemeny died in 1992.) “We needed a language that could be ‘taught ...
