That kind of „programming“ has been manily practiced in the 1970s and 1980s when kids without own computers planned their programs on paper to type them in later (at school, in computer ware houses, at friends, …) But that kind of programming is as old as programmable computers themselves, I guess. Every programmer surely had written short algorithms as drafts by hand or had corrected and commented program printouts by hand. Handwritten code, I think, today is almost extinguished. So the book will show today’s computational scientist that special kind of programming history and will also give a slightly insight into how the programmer anticipates the work of machine works while he is trying to think as the machine that runs his/her code.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The book will show such handwritten codes and code fragments (of any programming language) as scans, gives informations about the author, date of origin, programming language, computer where it was typed in (if so) and a about the planned function of the code or fragment. If the system and language are available and the code is readable and (sort of) complete, it will be tested and a screenshot of the output will addet to the text.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The book will be published in 2017 and there will be an exhibition at the „Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum“ in Paderborn (Germany) - one of the largest computer museums in Europe.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">WHAT DO I NEED FROM YOU?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">1. Original paper* with handwritten code or reprintable scans of such papers (300 dpi, color, TIFF, with the edges of the paper in the picture).</div><div class="">2. A permission to reprint that code from its author.</div><div class="">3. Informations about the origin of the paper (author name, date of origin, programming language and system, if remembered: anecdotes about that code and its genesis)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">* If you want your paper to be shown at the exhibition at „Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum“ in 2017 you have to send in the original. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Before you send in anything please contact me (se below)!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Sent-in original papers will be scanned and kept safely until they are not needed anymore and than will be returened to the owner. Shipping fees from the sender to me can’t be refunded, since the project is completely unsalaried. But those who’s code has been reprinted or shown at the exhibition will get a free copy of the book.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The book with the working title „Papier-Maschinen“ (engl. „Paper Machines“) will be published in summer 2017 in our series „Computerarchäologie“ (engl.: „Computer Archaeology“) at the German „Projekt-Verlag").</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If you need more informations do not hesitate to contact me at: <span title="<email@computerarchaeologie.de>" class=""><a href="mailto:email@computerarchaeologie.de" class="">email@computerarchaeologie.de</a></span> or visit our Facebook page: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/computerarchaeologie" class="">https://www.facebook.com/computerarchaeologie</a><br class=""><div apple-content-edited="true" class="">
