Donald Knuth

The name probably doesn’t mean anything to those of you who are not computer geeks. And I suspect that even the younger generation of computer geeks won’t know who he is. But Donald Knuth is one of the seminal figures in computer science. I’ve just seen that he was 70 yesterday, so belated birthday greetings, Professor Knuth!

 

Jeff Atwood, over at Coding Horror, has more links to the life, work and humour of Donald Knuth. Worth browsing.
