Best Programming Master

John Backus was a mathematician known for his invention of FORTRAN & for BNF notation for describing syntax for the programming language. John developed Formula Translator or Fortran, which was the first high-level programming language. It was a widely used programming language that made computers accessible and practical machines for developers and scientists without any need to have in-depth knowledge of this machinery. Restless as a young man, John Backus found his place in mathematics, he earned B.S. in 1949 and M.A. in 1950 from the Columbia University of NY City. He later joined International Business Machines or IBM in 1950. Drained of laborious coding by hand, he was permitted to assemble the team at IBM working on improving efficiency. His team at IBM developed the programming language FORTRAN for its numerical analysis. FORTRAN made programs that were quite good as ones written by professional developers.
