James Gosling

--Originally published at TC201 Winter 2016 Jorge

This WSQ is about James Gosling, the father of Java Programming Language. You can find the interview I watched for the course here.

At early age he started to be interested in programming when his father showed him an old computer. Noticing that the focus in technology changes from hardware to software gave him the idea to develop Java. I find it fascinating how Java started as someting so simple and then revolutionized our modern world. Almost all modern computers depend on Java. Thanks to him we have all of the Java resources to our disposal and learn about them, James Gosling rocks!

Mr. Ward Cunningham, th creator of the Wiki, started with a little database made of cards using Hyper Card(It combines databse capabilities with a graphical, flexible, user-modifiable interface.) because his goal was the absortion of technology amongts technologist, and he made a database out of cards that tracked how ideas moved throught his company.

I find it really impressive how can just one person think of an idea to help himself and his company and it ends up being one of the most used tools amongts students and researchers or whoever uses it to find any kind of information, like, almost all kinds of concepts and information can be found there.

At some point of the interview the guy asked what should students learn or something like that and Ward replied that we should learn what a boolean variable is, jquery and javascript. I guess I'll be a little bit busy this summer.
