TBT: Honoring Edsger W. Dijkstra

(11 May 1930 – 6 August 2002) was a Dutch systems scientist, programmer, software engineer, science essayist, and early pioneer in computing science. Dijkstra is known for his algorithm for finding the shortest paths between nodes in a graph. He also coined the phrase "structured programming". His ideas about structured programming helped lay the foundations for the birth and development of the professional discipline of software engineering, enabling programmers to organize and manage increasingly complex software projects. Structured programming is the basis for all that has been done since in programming methodology, including object-oriented programming.

TBT: First Telegraph Sent


May 24, 1844

Samuel Morse sends the first telegraphic message over a line from Washington, D.C. to Baltimore. The message, “What hath God wrought!” was transmitted to his partner, Alfred Vail, who retransmitted the same message back to Morse. This formally opened America’s first telegraph line, launching America’s first form of instant communication in history. The biblical text was selected by Annie Ellsworth, the teenage daughter of the U.S. Commissioner of Patents.
