Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
Personal computers didn't appear until the 1970s, but as early as 1941, the first automated, program-controlled, and freely programmable computer was up and running. The Computer-- My Life is the story of Konrad Zuse and his revolutionary invention--the computer (or mechanical brain as he liked to call it), which Zuse built in his parents' living room. Zuse writes his autobiography simply and directly to be accessible to a wide audience of non-technophiles and includes hand-drawn diagrams of computer functions, as well as cartoons from his younger years when he dreamed of becoming an artist. The book also includes appendices with detailed technical information for the more technical reader.
Kurzbeschreibung
Zuse is one of the great pioneers of the computer age. He created the first stored-program computer in 1941 and continued to build machines for a quarter century, as well as writing books and articles. This is his autobiography--full of fascinating details of his life, work, and philosophy.

An excellent source of information for those who mistakenly thought that ENIAC was the first general purpose computer.

This book and its author are just amazing. Konrad Zuse is definitly a unique character and so is his story of the invention of the FIRST computer during World War II in Berlin.

Outstanding & Only Autobiography By First Generation Computer Pioneer
19. November 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
This autobiography, the only one by a first generation computer constructor is fascinating in several respects. First, Konrad Zuse working in almost total intellectual isolation (from the mainstream US and UK efforts in calculator/computer development) between 1936 and 1945 developed one of the most sophisticated and Turing-complete computers prior to ENIAC and most other US efforts (the only other comparable binary computer--of more limited capacity--at the time was the Antanasoff-Berry Computer at Iowa State University). Secondly, unlike other computer pioneers of that era he was an artist and mechanical/civil engineer rather than a physicist, mathematician or electrical engineer, and his artistic and mechanical studies strongly influenced this development. Also, we have no autobiography of Mauchly, Eckert, Antanasoff, Turing, or Aiken giving their personal reminiscences of that pioneering era in computation. Finally, beside being a pioneer in computer construction he, Zuse, formally specified the first higher-level computer language the Plankalkul between 1941 and 1945. This specification although theoretical was sufficiently complete that the Free University of Berlin implemented it in 2000. Zuse is also known as a pioneer in suggesting later in 1967 that the universe is a computational process occurring in physical space, a theory later espoused by Edward Fredkin and Stephen Wolfram.
The personal and technical story of a long and productive life is fascinatingly told in this outstanding autobiography.
