Description
Cambridge, MA: Addison-Wesley Press, Inc, 1951. First printing. Near fine.. First edition of this early and important work in computer programming. PREPARATION contains programming instructions for the EDSAC (Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator), an early British computer built by author Wilkes and colleagues at the University of Cambridge. Known as the first textbook on computer programming, and proportionately influential, THE PREPARATION OF PROGRAMS captures an early and defining moment in the history of computer programming. As scholar Michael R. Williams has written: "EDSAC holds a prime place in the history of the world's first computers, not only because it was the first full-scale operational electronic digital computer, but because its ability to construct programs from relocatable subroutines, and to link them together at load time, provided a model for almost all others to follow. [...] It provided the basic ideas as to how one should go about creating a computing system." 9'' x 6''. Original brown cloth with gilt spine lettering. Illustrated with two black-and-white plates. 167, [3] pages. Touches of rubbing, shelfwear to cloth. Overall sound and clean.
