Excellent initiative. John McCarthy deserves his own day, as well. And if we are allowed to go back in time, we ought to dedicate a day to the early founding fathers of computing, such as Alan Turing.
- sbuk 15y agoTuring gets an awful lot of credit for being a founding father of computing and the majority of it is undoubtedly deserved, but the man whom is consistently overlooked and really is one of the founders of modern computing is a man called Tommy Flowers. He really did design and build the world's first electronic programmable computer; Colossus I. Sadly, he gets very little recognition here in the UK and practically none from the computing profession.
