History of ALGOL 60 and more ...

Hop on over to Dennis Hamilton's short and informative history of ALGOL 60 development and the multiple impacts of that work. The descriptions of the people involved with Algol 60 and their contributions to the programming work we do today is both personal and caring. It's not to be missed.

Thanks, Dennis.
