Contrary to what many believe Alan Turing is not the father of the all-purpose computer. Engineers were independently of Turing already building such machines during World War II. Turing s influence was felt more in programming after his death than in computer building during his lifetime. The first person to receive a Turing award was a programmer not a computer builder. Logicians and programmers recast Turing s notions of machine and universality. Gradually these recast notions helped programmers to see the bigger picture of what they were accomplishing. Later problems unsolvable with a computer influenced experienced programmers including Edsger W. Dijkstra. Dijkstra s pioneering work shows that both unsolvability and aesthetics have practical relevance in software engineering. But to what extent did Dijkstra and others depend on Turing s accomplishments? This book presents a revealing synthesis for the modern software engineer and by doing so deromanticizes Turing s role in the history of computing.
