IBM has also taken its first steps in the field of automation of programming, creating in 1953 for the IBM 701 machine, a rapid coding. In our country AALiapunov suggested that one of the first programming languages. In 1957 a group led by J. Backus finalized later became a popular first high-level programming language, has been called Fortran. Language, implemented for the first time on an IBM 704 computer, helped expand the scope of application of computers.
In the UK in July 1951 at a conference at the University of Manchester M. Wilkes presented the report “The best method for the construction of automatic machines, which was the pioneer work on the basics of microprogramming. The proposed method of designing control systems have found wide application.
His idea of microprogramming M. Wilkes implemented in 1957 with the creation of the machine EDSAC-2. M. Wilkes, together with D. Wheeler and S. Gill in 1951, wrote the first textbook on programming, programming for electronic computers “(Russian translation, 1953).
