Re: The oldest computer book still on my shelves (or on my digital media) is ...

The Basic-Plus Language Manual for PDP-11 Resource Time Sharing System dated 1971/1972; though my first encounter with it was around 1977/78. (And it's in a box in the loft somewhere.)

On my desk is K&R 1978.

In the cupboard behind me are The C++ programming Language by Bjarne Stroustrup; 1986 & Programming in C++ by Stephen C. Dewhurst & Kathy T. Stark; 1989.

I've a relatively recently acquired digital copy of Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs, 1976 to replace the two copies I've lent out and not had returned over the years.

Anyone got any experience of this phone's predecessor?

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I knew I was on the right track :)

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

I'm with torvalds on this Agile (and TDD) debunked I told'em LLVM was the way to go. But did they listen!
