[via mike] I found out that John Backus of Fortran fame and Backus-Naur-Form fame is no more..Its amazing to read his little bio that was published in NYT following this.
This reminds me of how much we stand on the shoulder of giants….
Thats the slogan on my kids’ t-shirt after attending a one day spring camp at the NASA Space Center in Houston. Jay and Sam went for the day to two different camps for their agegroup and came back with tons of goodies and learning. Jay is excited for summer as he wants to attend a longer camp on the premise. Jay built various rocket models, while Sam built a mars-rover robot model.
