#OTD in #ComputingHistory in 1956, IBM released the first manual for the programming language FORTRAN. The manual appeared six months before the compiler was ready, giving programmers time to learn and prepare for this milestone in computing. https://t.co/x5xrv52cJd

Had a blast visiting @NWCMOfficial today and getting all nostalgic with their incredible collection of #retrocomputing and #retrogaming machines and accessories! If you're a fan of #computinghistory or, I'd highly recommend visiting the museum in #Leigh!

#OTD in #ComputingHistory 1964, IBM launched the revolutionary System/360 mainframe architecture. Named “360” to reflect its goal of serving all types of customers, it transformed business computing. Watch Fred Brooks discuss working on the project: https://t.co/Z2zPGJAK6p

Today in Year 6 we researched key figures in computing history like Alan Turing and Ada Lovelace. We created PowerPoints to show how computers have evolved and gave each other feedback on our presentations — great teamwork and learning! 💻#Year6 #ComputingHistory @Rowlatts_TMET

#OTD in #ComputingHistory in 1949, An Wang filed a patent for magnetic ferrite core memory, a breakthrough that transformed how computers stored data. For more computing milestones: https://t.co/x5xrv52cJd

Hope I’m not breaking any laws, but I’ve got to let these old books soak up some Florida sun! ☀️📚 I picked these vintage computing history books on eBay, but they’ve got a terrible smell. I heard sunlight might help freshen them up! #computinghistory #BASIC

On May 22, 1980, the original Pac-Man made its debut and quickly became more than just an arcade hit—it marked a milestone in computing. #OTD #ComputingHistory #OnThisDay #PacMan #TechHistory #AI #GamingMilestone
