This is why I’ve long argued that BASIC is the most consequential language in the history of computing. It’s a language for noobs, sure, but back then most everyone was a noob. Throughout the ...

Coding was once a field dominated by women. From the 1940s to the 1960s, about 90 per cent of computer programmers and systems analysts in the US were female.Hardware was largely run by men, but ...

Here, I'll help bring you up to date on the history and state of computer languages in the 21st century and hopefully provide a better framework to understand the mindset of the computer geek.

An expert in the history of computing explains how and why coding went from a mostly female job to a field with a major gender problem.

But as National Public Radio recently reported, men haven’t always dominated the computer-science field. In fact, many of the pioneers in computer programming were women.

The team will start by studying code from online repositories, such as Github and BitBucket, as well as analyzing questions and responses posted on StackExchange. This massive dataset will be used to ...

The history of computers began with primitive designs in the early 19th century and went on to change the world during the 20th century.
