Python - A Brief Timeline of Python

A Brief Timeline of Python

The development of Python occurred at a time when many other dynamic (and open-source) programming languages such as Tcl, Perl, and (much later) Ruby were also being actively developed and gaining popularity. To help put Python in its proper historical perspective, the following list shows the release history of Python. The earliest dates are approximate as I didn't consistently record all events:

I've added hyperlinks to the releases that are still being advertised on python.org at this time. Note that many releases were followed by several micro-releases, e.g. 2.0.1; I haven't bothered to include these in the table as otherwise it would become too long. Source tarball of very old releases are also still accessible, here:http://www.python.org/ftp/python/src/. Various ancient binary releases and other historical artefacts can still be found by going one level up from there.

Python - Personal History - Part 1, CWI

-
Personal History - part 1, CWI Python’s early development started at a research institute in Amsterdam called  CWI , which is a Dutch acronym for a phrase that translates into English as Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science. CWI is an interesting place; funded by the Dutch government’s Department of Education and other research grants, it conducts academic-level research into computer science and mathematics. At any given time there are plenty of Ph.D. students wandering about and old-timers in the profession may still remember its original name, the Mathematical Centre. Under this name, it was perhaps most famous for the invention of  Algol 68 . I started working at CWI in late 1982, fresh out of university, as a programmer in the  ABC  group led by  Lambert Meertens  and  Steven Pemberton . After 4 or 5 years the ABC project was terminated due to the lack of obvious success and I moved to CWI’s  Amoeba group led by  Sape Mullender . Amoeba was a micro-kernel-based distributed

JAVA-02 The NetBeans Software

Image
When you first run NetBeans, you'll see a screen something like this one: You may have to drum your fingers and wait a while, as it's not the fastest thing in the world. To start a new project, click on File > New Project from the NetBeans menu at the top. You'll see the following dialogue box appear: We're going to be create a Java Application, so select Java under Categories, and then Java Application under Projects. Click the Next button at the bottom to go to step two: In the Project Name area at the top, type a Name for your Project. Notice how the text at the bottom changes to match your project name (in the text box to the right of Create Main Class): firstproject.Main If we leave it like that, the Class will have the name Main. Change it to FirstProject : Now, the Class created will be called FirstProject, with a capital "F", capital "P".

JAVA-05 Running your Java Programmes

-
Image
When you run a programme in NetBeans, it will run in the Output window at the bottom of your screen, just underneath your code. This is so that you don't have to start a terminal or console window - the Output window IS the console. There are various ways to run your programme in NetBeans. The easiest way is to press F6 on your Keyboard. You can also run programmes using the menus as the top of NetBeans. Locate the Run menu, then select Run Main Programme : You can also click the green arrow on the NetBeans toolbar:  Another way to run your programmes is from the Projects window. This will ensure that the right source code is being run. Simply right click your java source file in the projects window and you'll see a menu appear. Select Run File . Using one of the above methods, run your programme. You should see something happening in the Output window: The second line
