Martin Campbell-Kelly


  From Airline Reservations to Sonic the Hedgehog : A History of the Software Industry (History of Computing)  Martin Campbell-Kelly  From its first glimmerings in the 1950s, the software industry has evolved to become the fourth largest industrial sector of the US economy. Starting with a handful of software contractors who produced specialized programs for the few existing machines, the industry grew to include producers of corporate software packages and then makers of mass-market products and recreational software.

He also tells the story of lucrative software products such as IBM's CICS and SAP's R/3, which, though little known to the general public, lie at the heart of today's information infrastructure. With its wealth of industry data and its thoughtful judgments, this...  книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин From its first glimmerings in the 1950s, the software industry has evolved to become the fourth largest industrial sector of the US economy.
