Niklaus Wirth is one of the great pioneers of computer technology
and winner of the ACM's A.M. Turing Award, the most prestigious
award in computer science. he has made substantial contributions to
the development of programming languages, compiler construction,
programming methodology, and hardware design. While working at ERH
Zurich, he developed the languages Pascal and Modula-2. He also
designed an early high performance workstation, the Personal
Computer Lilith, and most recently the language and operating
system Oberon.
While Wirth has often been praised for his excellent work as a
language designer and engineer, he is also an outstanding
educator-something for which he is not as well known. This book
brings together prominent computer scientists to describe Wirth's
contributions to education. With the exception of some of his
colleagues such as Professors Dijkstra, Hoare, and Rechenberg, all
of the contributors to this book are students of Wirth. The essays
provide a wide range of contemporary views on modern programming
practice and also illuminate the one persistent and pervasive
quality found in all his work: his unequivocal demand for simple
solutions. The authors and editors hope to pass on their enthusiasm
for simple engineering solutions along with their feeling for a man
to whom they are all so indebted.
