Lesson 1 (Part 1-3) Brief Introduction to Software Development
The lesson 1 of ADET discussion focuses on the history and the development of a computer (software and hardware). Its amazing that the first computer and from what we have right now is incomparable from what it can do.
From what I learned in 1944 we the first world's programmable electronic digital computer which is Colossus. Colossus function by using a switches and plugs and it is not a store program but on the other hand John Von Neuman machine store program it was also mention that computer that we are using today was base on John Von Neuman machine like smartphone and supercomputer.
As for the part 2 of the video, our professor mention that the Fortan is the first successful programming language created by John W. Backus in 1956.
Development of Computer from 1950's to 2010:
- Computers in 1950's - are using a mainframe computers.
- Computers in 1960's - are still using mainframe computers.
- Computers in 1970's - there was a revolution from the mainframe computers to personal computers. It was started with altair (personal computer kit) and there are also apple 1 and apple. According to old programmer mainframe computer are much more faster than personal computer but personal computer are much more popular because it was more reachable to people.
- Computers in 1980's - Mouse was introduce that made software makes more easier.
- Computers in 1990's - Hardware and software became more stable.
- Computers in 2000's - More improvement
- Computers in 2010's - Introduction of smartphones.
big computer hardware become more and dorftware easy super computer mostly business used computer old days , language created, ubiquitous. limit for human side
In June 21, 1948 Tom Kilburn a computer scientist written the first piece of software, and with Fiddie Williams they build the SSEM (Small-Scale Experiment Machine) that can perform calculations. After the released of the personal computer of Apple other companies soon entered the market with computer.
Comparing the computers back then and computers today, it really amaze me that a computer that consume a lot of space back then are now develop into a size of a hand and it gave more utility to the user. Since computer are improved, many language has created.
