Daniel D. McCracken Dies at 81; Wrote Best-Sellers on Using Computers
- wglb 15y agoHis book on Fortran was the first programming book that I read in depth. I had 8 hours before the Empire Builder left Union Station in Chicago for Montana on my way home for Christmas. The book was for the next quarter. I did not realize that he also started out in Montana in a small town that is small even by Montana standards. My relationship with Fortran deteriorated over the years, however. It was a welcome introduction.
