The ALGOL (Algorithmic Programming Language) developed in the mid 1950’ s with the aims of: Creating a a language for scientific computation.  A language that was machine independent.  A universally accepted Programming Language.  Being the first language that Addressed the issue of software portability. All these goalswere acheved by an international Committe  in the late 1950s’ in a report entitled Algol58 followed by other reports etitled Algol60 and Algol68 respectively .Like many other languages it had a few problems here and there:  Although machine independence enabled developers to be more creative it made implementing more difficult. Despite the fact that the commercial populatrity of the Algol Family was not as great as other languages in its time such as Cobal and Fortran, but  you could say that its algorithmic structure was, which made it the most important language of its time. Languages which were later developed  aft...

Dennis MacAlistair Ritchie I could not resist taking a look at Dennis Ritchie in this series of great computer   scientist/engineers. Dennis MacAlistair Ritchie best known as the father of the c programming language was born on September 9, 1941  in Bronxville, New York to Alistair E. Ritchie a Bell Labs scientist. Early in his life Ritchie moved to New Jersey, where he attended Summit High School. Ritchie graduated from Harvard University with degrees in physics and applied mathematics. In 1967, he began working at the Bell Labs Computing Sciences Research Center, and in 1968, he received a PhD from Harvard under the supervision of Patrick C. Fischer, his doctoral dissertation being "Program Structure and Computational Complexity”. During his time at Bell Labs He developed the C Programming Language  which was used as a key stepping stone in the creation of the unix operating system which he played a major role along with Ken Thompson, the...

EarlyChicken! my OOP Projects' archive and random stuffs. Early Chicken Blog Stalk Me About me Thanks to 11 Mar Nokia C3 Multitasking - Run multiple Apps Tutorial Nokia C3 is running on s40 platform, and s40 is not capable of multitasking. Yes! That's true, though only in the hands of average users. But for advance users, not afraid to tweak its phone to its full potential, Nokia C3 is very capable multitasking phone. You heard it right, once hacked Nokia C3 can rival its s60 big brothers, like the Nokia E63. Advantages: Put simply, while your browsing your favorite website via your favorite web browser(eg OperaMini, Bolt, etc)  or your playing a game, then someone sent you an sms message. On normal Nokia C3, you have to close the application first, closing that means, you cant continue what you are doing later on, then you can read the message. On hacked Nokia C3, you can just minimize the application, read the sms mess...

Over the years we have gotten accustomed to  the fighting for the top spots in computing between two major companies. One company you could say is power hungry and tries to have complete control over its users and the other company not so much as it allows its users to make modifications to an extent making it the greater of the two evils in my opinion. As some of you readers might have already guessed im talking about the epic battle between Microsoft and Apple, two of the biggest household and commercial names when it comes on to desktops, laptops and recently tablets. Both Microsoft and Apple have come a long way in there competition  but all that may change in the future, how is that you may ask,  i can sum it up all in one word Google.The growing popularity of the Android operating system has started taking its toll on both Microsoft and Apple as it has started taking over the mobile market with alot of good reviews com...
