I wonder how many people, as I did, found themselves thrown into confusion by the death last week of Jean Ichbiah (pictured), inventor of Ada.
Learning that the inventor of a computer programming language is already old enough to have lived 66 years (Ichbiah was 66 when he succumbed to brain cancer) is a little like learning that your 11-year-old daughter has grown up and left home or that the first car you ever bought no longer is legal because it runs on gasoline in an age where all automobiles must run on water. How can something as novel, as new, as a computing language possibly already be so old-fangled that an early practitioner like Ichbiah can already no longer be with us?
The thought was so disquieting that it took me immediately back to the last time I wrote about Ichbiah, and indeed about Ada Lovelace for whom his language was named. It was in the context of my quest a couple of years ago to identify the Top Twenty Software People in the World.
It began as an innocent enough exercise, inadvertently kick-started by Tim Bray writing in his popular "Ongoing" blog about how he rated Google's Adam Bosworth as "probably one of the top 20 software people in the world." Already famous for Quattro Pro, Microsoft Access, and Internet Explorer 4 even before he joined BEA as VP of engineering in 2001, when BEA bought Crossgain, the company he'd by then cofounded after leaving Microsoft, Bosworth went on to become BEA's chief architect before leaving to join Google. Definitely a shoo-in for the Top Twenty then. But the question naturally arose - or at least it did in my mind - who are the other 19?
I knew that it would not be easy to answer, and not because there are too few candidates but because there are too many. The names of today's leading i-technologists - whose collective smarts Internet technologies rely on for their unceasing innovation and ingenuity - trip off most people's tongues in a heartbeat: just think of Sergey Brin, Bill Joy, Linus Torvalds, Tim Berners-Lee, James Gosling, Anders Hejlsberg, Don Box, Nathan Myhrvold, W. Daniel Hillis, Mitch Kapor... all clear members of the "technorati" or "digerati" - call them what you will - the undisputed aristocrats of the online world.
But what about those who came before, the precursors of the current crop of talent? I wrote at the time:
"Can a list of the Top 20 i-Technologists possibly be compiled that doesn't cause the online equivalent of fistfights when published? Obviously not. But that shouldn't deter us from trying."
My inbox soon began to fill up with a deluge of nominations, and within days I was able to list forty mind-bogglingly gifted candidates, as follows (click on the name for a brief description of the individual concerned):
- Tim Berners-Lee: "Father of the World Wide Web" and expectant father of the Semantic Web

- Klaus Knopper: Prime mover of Knoppix, a Linux distro that runs directly from a CD
- Craig McClanahan: Of Tomcat, Struts, and JSF fame
- Nathan Myhrvold: Theoretical and mathematical physicist, former CTO at Microsoft
- Tim O'Reilly: Publisher, open source advocate; believer that great technology needs great books
- Jean Paoli: One of the co-creators of the XML 1.0 standard with the W3C; now with Microsoft
- John Patrick: Former VP of Internet technology at IBM, now "e-tired"
- Rob Pike: An early developer of Unix and windowing system (GUI) technology

It was at this point that the name of The Father of Ada was thrown into the hopper, along with that of Ada Lovelace herself.

Now we all know that there are others, that this list of 100 candidates barely scratches the surface, so....have at it: who's been left out? Once I have compiled a definitive list of, say, 150, I will devise a means by which we can vote and decide once and for all which 99 should join Adam Bosworth (who, for the record, loathes the whole idea of any such exercise, as does Tim Bray - who calls such popularity contests "moronic"; both would I am quite certain wish me to record here that this entire exercise owes nothing to their actual input, only to Tim's blogged remark en passant all those years ago...)
Over to you!

The word "hero" should of course be used sparingly, and probably not in adjunction to "tech", but JWZ holds his place among the Big Hackers, IMHO.
Some of his accomplishments, in no particular order:

Can someone explain to me why Jamie Z is a hero? I only know him from reading his comments in the Netscape keyboard resource file when I was trying to get the browser to behave under Linux. These left me with a permanent dislike for the dude: instead of explaining the format of the file, he put in lengthy sarcastic (and misinformed) rants about the "mistakes" made by various Unix vendors in designing their keyboards.

I'm quite flatted that you've numbered me among your top twenty all-time technology heroes.
As for the Renaissance jazz bit, I play the Celtic harp, on which I perform a number of medieval and renaissance pieces. I once had an instructor who taught me some great improvisational skills, and thus the phrase, Renaissance jazz, for I like to do riffs off of really old themes.
I think I would have been an itinerant musician or a priest if I were not doing software :-)

You have to include Claude Shannon, and you might want to consider Oliver Selfridge. Shannon was the mathematician who figured information theory, and Selfridge started everything behind neural networks--which have never caught up with modal programming, but whose promise is unbounded.

Dave Cutler, while quite brilliant, was hardly the "brains behind VMS". He worked on it, sure. And he contributed a lot. But he didn't create it and wasn't in the early architectural planning; he came along later. Maybe you should say he was "a major contributor to VMS" to be accurate.
|ccrmalite 02/04/07 05:34:16 PM EST
When discussing the heroes of "I-Technology", no list would be complete without Max Mathews, the pioneering creator of the first digital music systems at Bell Labs in the 1950s upon which all digital music software and research was based. These days, imagining a computer system without music seems impossible yet without Max's work on the Music I-Music V computer music languages, we wouldn't be rocking out on our iTunes while reading this article, let alone creating digitally based music of any kind. For those who don't know Max, remember the end of Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey", when a dying HAL sings an homage to Max's influential early recording of "Daisy," signifying one of the computer's earliest memories. Kubrick got it right, I strongly suggest you add Max to your list.
|Andy Poggio 02/04/07 04:43:00 PM EST
Please add Doug Engelbart to your list of heros of i-Technology. If you are unfamiliar with his work, just Google his name or "mother of all demos". Doug and his group at SRI international pioneered many of the things we now take for granted, e.g. hypertext networked documents, videoconferencing, collaborative work, and the mouse.

Presper Eckert (ENIAC)
Agree this is in part a popularity contest. Some of the ones on the original list were influential tech CEOs or Chief Architects in their time, but does that Hall of Fame material?
And if you say "Myrhvold", I think you must also say Bruce and ESR....

Ed De Castro deserves to be on the list as the inventor of the personal computer - The PDP8 was my first personal computer, even if not yours :-)
|Jeff LaMarche 02/04/07 11:26:11 AM EST
Grace Hopper did not invent COBOL. She absolutely 100% should be on the list, but she should be on the list for what she did do. She invented a language called FLOW-MATIC, which was then later used as the starting point by COBOL, which was (quite obviously) designed by committee wthout any further input from Admiral Hopper. She later used COBOL, but she had no direct participation in COBOL.
Much more important, though, she came up with the groundbreaking concept that computer programs could be written in a more English-like language rather than in machine code, something we all take for granted now, but which really was one of the key enablers that allowed computers to become what they are today.

Arguably Bill Gates did more for personal computers than most anyone else out there. I would have to point out however that most of what he has done is related to his business ability rather than his software writing abilities.

You know, when I looked at this list, I found myself disappointed. Sure, there are some big important guys, but software is more than about applications and the big picture. It's also about the technology, and creating new abstractions. And in a lot of ways, the guy who first invented debugging is a lot more important to the success of computer science than anybody listed there.
It may be because I'm an old fart, but I remember the excitement of learning each new abstraction, either as I discovered it, or as it was invented. And it seemed to me that the creation of those abstractions are the really great deeds of computer science. Maybe nobody knows who had those break-through moments first, but I'm sure that they occured, and they seem to be to the the Great Moments in computer science.
1) The first guy to think "I shouldn't have to rewire, I should be able to write instructions that rewire it for me" - i.e., the assembler moment
2) The first guy to realize "I'm not just re-wiring this, I'm describing an procedure for it to use" - the FORTRAN moment
3) The first guy to ask "Why can't I used the same procedure from different places in my code" - the subroutine moment
4) The first guy to say "I should be able to use the subroutine in the program it already knows" - the library moment
5) The first guy to ask "Why do I have to be the one writing down the results?" - the printer moment
6) The first guy to realize "This isn't just a calculator, it's also a controller!" - the embedded moment
7) The first guy to realize "This isn't just a calculator, it's also a storage system!" - the database moment
8) The first guy to realize "This isn't just a calculator, it's also a communication system!" - the network moment
9) The first guy to realize "I'm not just submitting instructions for it to process - it's submiting instructions back for me to process!" - the interactive moment
10) The first guy to think "Why can't it do something else while its waiting?" - the multitasking moment
11) The first guy to think "Why can't it show me more context while I work?" - the full-screen moment
And finally...
12) The first guy to think "Man, why can't this thing show me some chicks?" - the porn moment

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

For basic one-to-one voice or video calling solutions, WebRTC has proven to be a very powerful technology. Although WebRTC's core functionality is to provide secure, real-time p2p media streaming, leveraging native platform features and server-side components brings up new communication capabilities for web and native mobile applications, allowing for advanced multi-user use cases such as video broadcasting, conferencing, and media recording.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Feral Interactive LEGO Star Wars Saga
LEGO. Star Wars. On your Mac. That's right, the bafflingly awesome LEGO Star Wars Saga ($30) is now available in the Mac App Store. It combines LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy, so you get to play through all six of the theatrical Star Wars releases—and blow up Jar Jar as much as you see fit—all with beautifully updated cartoony graphics.
This combined edition of the game has a few extras too. There are 10 characters that haven't been seen in any of the other LEGO Star Wars games, along with an upgraded Character Customizer. On top of that there are brand new levels and Bounty Hunter missions. Oh, and enhanced Force powers, too. Need we say more? If you're a crazy completionist, this game is going to suck you in for more hours than you'll want to admit as you collect every brick and stud.

Shahid Kapoor is surprised to see fans from countries like France, Russia and Turkey writing to him about his films and even showing interest in the fact that his upcoming release --
-- is an adaptation of Shakespeare's Hamlet.
"Shakespeare has been a huge part of my life. My father (actor Pankaj Kapur) swears by him, and he has done Shakespearean plays when he studied at the National School of Drama. He considers him the greatest writer ever, and even jokes that perhaps, in his last life, he was Shakespeare (sic)," says Shahid.
Since he too was exposed to the Bard's work at a young age, Shahid hopes his film will offer the audience a new experience. He says, "I'm not surprised that people from different countries, who speak different languages, are connecting with the film. Shakespeare is beyond boundaries."

Shahid is also amazed by the love that Bollywood actors get from various parts of the world. "I have always felt that when I travel abroad, people are extremely expressive about what they feel. They are excited, and they show a lot of love and support," he says, adding, "It also has to do with the fact that one doesn't tend to interact with fans from different countries too often — people who probably don't even understand our language and culture, and yet love our films. I am still surprised by how varied the audience for Indian films are."

Huge grant brings university students to Holmes Elementary
A $500,000 state grant will benefit those studying to become teachers at Whitworth and Gonzaga universities, as well as teachers and students at Holmes Elementary School in West Central.
Spokane Public Schools staff developed the grant proposal together with education faculty at Gonzaga and Whitworth. It's the first time a Collaborative Schools for Innovation and Success grant has been awarded to a Spokane school.
"It's been a bit of a whirlwind experience," said Stephanie Lundberg, principal assistant at Holmes and the grant manager. "We first started working on it in August and here we are."
The CSIS grants are funded by the state and managed by the Office of Student and School Success. This grant will allow teaching students from Gonzaga and Whitworth to do a yearlong practicum at Holmes.
"This is based on the co-teaching model where we have a teaching student in the classroom, yet the master teacher never leaves the room," said Steve Barnes, principal at Holmes. "Our students benefit because that means the teacher can do more one-on-one and small group teaching."
Both Gonzaga and Whitworth currently support mentoring and tutoring programs in Spokane Public Schools. During the 2011 academic year, the two universities also placed more than 500 teaching students in Spokane schools.
"The idea that local universities and the largest school district on this side of the mountains are partnering to improve student learning and development at the elementary school and the universities is a powerful model," said John Traynor, director of Gonzaga's Master of Initial Teaching program. Traynor helped develop the grant.
Whitworth's associate dean of teacher education and partnerships, Debbie Tully, said the grant allows the partners to capitalize on the good work that's already taking place.
"The additional focus on developing innovative practices for simultaneous teacher preparation and professional development will benefit students in schools beyond the scope of the grant," Tully said. "I am excited to be involved in this groundbreaking work."
Where the universities provide motivated teaching students, Holmes provides a real picture of what it's like being an elementary school teacher. At Holmes, more than 84 percent of students qualify for free and reduced-price lunches, and the school also has significantly more students with special needs than other Spokane schools.
"The teaching students will get to really experience what it's like to teach at an inner city school," said Barnes, adding that practical experience is essential to teaching students yet sometimes difficult to come by because many universities have closed their lab schools. "This will help the teaching students build capacity for the future."
Washington State University provided the initial needs assessment at Holmes and the current academic year is a planning and preparation year, Lundberg said. Practicum students will begin to show up at Holmes at the beginning of next school year. It is possible practicum spots may be offered in other school departments such as the library and counseling services.
"It is very important to us that we build a model that's sustainable," Lundberg said. "When the grant goes away we want to be able to continue the partnership."
Another part of the project is to reach out to local businesses and organizations.
"We want to make Holmes the hub for what's going on in West Central," said Lundberg, adding that West Central Community Center is an obvious partner just like other programs that already work with kids.
"We are pursuing a wrap-around aspect to make sure we better meet all the kids' needs," Lundberg said.

MPs' attack BBC's "casual homophobia"
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Beat Bullying are going a bit over the top with this in my opinion. The word was obviously NOT used in a homophobic context, it's a form of slang NOT bullying. I, myself am very much against bullying of any kind and am in support of avoiding any use of language that may cause offence. But political correctness seems to be going too far. Chris Moyles probably shouldn't have used that word, but I'm with the BBC on this one!!!
moles is a fat cunt – of corse I use the words fat cunt because many people do, so I hope people arent offended
I'm pleased, Moyles is far to big for his boots so it's about time he was knocked down a peg or two.Fiona you might not think that it wasn't homophobic but there may have been kids listening and think that gay = crap. I work at a leisure complex and I told a kid to pick up some paper he dropped and his mate said "It's ok mister, he's just gay" I said to him "What the hell has that got to do with it?"Kids think it's ok to use the word gay as an insult, it needs to be checked and they need to be told that it is wrong and an insult. But for you and the board of governs at the BBC to say "Oh well it wasn't meant as insult" it's not going to stop and kids will axtually think that gay does equal crap!
i dont agree with moyles or the bbc
A parliamentary debate about this issue? Crazy! It's making this idiot looking too important.
Moyles is a loud mouthed untalented wanker who should have to pay compensation/damages towards the defimation of charactors of fellow "Gays".Make a public apoligy—ohhhh and castrate the twat 4 fun!!

Turkey Scrambles Fighter Jets along Syrian Border
The Turkish Air Force scrambled F-16 fighter jets along its border with Syria after Syrian warplanes reportedly attacked rebel positions in the town of Ras al-Ain on their side of the border.
Sources have said the Turkish planes came from the base in the southeastern city of Diyarbakir, RT informs.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said six of those killed by the air raids on Ras al-Ain were rebel fighters and that 30 people were wounded.
The rebels captured the locations about a month ago.
As the battle at the Syrian town continued, some stray shells landed on the Turkish territory. Residents of the affected town of Ceylanpinar, which abuts Ras al-Ain, panicked after hearing the explosions.

Research and Forecast of China Oral Care (Dental) Industry, 2014 primarily emphasizes on the overall development of oral care industry in China, especially highlights and analyzes the key private oral care chain businesses.
This Research holds a view that medical service industry will still belong to sunrise industry for a long time in the future, so specialized medical fields such as dentistry will develop into the advantaged industries on account of consumption upgrade and comparatively loose policy environment.
With the improving of consumption ability and awareness in China, China's oral care market is on its surging development stage; orthodontics, dental implant and other high-end businesses serve as major impetuses driving the rapid growth of dental market. The annual growth of oral care market has surpassed 20% in China, and it is projected that the market scale of China's oral care had generated CNY 10.3 billion in 2013, according to statistics on some large dental hospitals conducted by Ministry of Health.
Huidian estimates that China had around 350 dental hospitals in 2013 that account for larger proportion of market shares although the number is only about 350. While nationwide dental clinics were up to 50 thousand, accounting for smaller market shares. Place a direct purchase order @ http://www.marketreportschina.com/contacts/purchase?rname=4415.
Huidian Research believes that the main reasons why Chinese market develops rapidly are rising per capita disposable income, population aging and consistent penetration of universal education of dental health, driven by the policies encouraging private capitals to march into medical treatment fields, dental market is expected to show good development momentum. Currently parts of Chinese leading oral care chain enterprises have already stepped into brand expansion stage, and will enlarge oral care educational training scale and involve upstream industry chain, further being stronger and bigger.
