Computing pioneer (creating “FORTRAN”) John Warner Backus was born on December 3, 1924 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He said, “You need the willingness to fail all the time. You have to generate many ideas and then you have to work very hard only to discover that they don’t work. And you keep doing that over and over until you find one that does work." [OK.]... Mr. Backus died on March 17, 2007 in Ashland, Oregon.
