    Extractions: John Backus spent his first years in Wilmington, Delaware and attended the Hill School in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. He graduated in 1942 although according to his own account he did not take his studies at Hill School too seriously:- I flunked out every year. I never studied. I hated studying. I was just goofing around. It had the delightful consequence that every year I went to summer school in New Hampshire where I spent the summer sailing and having a nice time. He entered the University of Virginia to study chemistry at his father's request. However he was no more diligent than at school and in 1943 his studies were terminated. That year he joined the army. In the army he took medical training, working in an Atlantic City hospital in a neurosurgery ward that treated head wounds. Strangely he was found to have a bone tumour and had a plate fitted in his head. A medical training seemed to be the right direction for Backus but after nine months of medical school he gave this up too:- I hated it. They don't like thinking in medical school. They memorize - that's all they want you to do. You must not think.

    Extractions: Main Page See live article Alphabetical index John Backus (born December 3 ) is an American computer scientist , notable as the inventor of the Fortran programming language , the first high-level language to achieve widespread use, and the Backus-Naur form almost universally used to define language syntax . He received a Turing Award in for these two seminal achievements. Backus was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania but grew up in Wilmington, Delaware . He studied at the Hill School in Pottstown, Pennsylvania , and was apparently not a diligent student. After entering the University of Virginia to study chemistry , and failing that, he then joined the US Army and began medical training, which he also dropped out of after nine months. After moving to New York City he initially took training as a radio technician and discovered an interest in mathematics . He graduated from Columbia University with a degree in the topic in , and joined IBM in . During his first three years, he worked on the SSEC; his first major project was to write a program to calculate positions of the moon The difficulties of programming were acute, and in

    http://www.cs.ou.edu/about_us/backus.shtml
    
    Extractions: We didn't know what we wanted and how to do it. It just sort of grew. The first struggle was over what the language would look like. Then how to parse expressions - it was a big problem and what we did looks astonishingly clumsy now.... John Backus on the invention of FORTRAN Necessity, says the adage, is the mother of invention. Yet some inventors are motivated less by necessity than by sheer irritation at the messiness or inefficiency of the way things are. John Backus is such an inventor. He played an inspirational role in three great creations: FORTRAN, the first high level programming language; Backus-Naur Form, which provides a way to describe grammatical rules for high level languages; and lastly a functional programming language called FP, which advocates a mathematical approach to programming. Today, each of his inventions drives research and commercial agendas throughout the planet. Yet Backus's own life is one of restless energy - from his youth through his retirement. A distaste for inefficiency seems to run in the family. Before World War I, Backus's father had risen from a modest background to the post of chief chemist for the Atlas Powder Company, a manufacturer of nitroglycerine to be used in explosives. His promotion came for good reason.
