This is the 27th project of Wes Bos's JS30 series. Today we make a pretty neat click and drag to scroll interface where you will learn a whole lot about JavaScript events!
A tour of the many historical implementations of the Unix cat utility. Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie began writing Unix on a PDP 7. This was in 1969, before C, so all of the early Unix software was written in PDP 7 assembly. The first implementation of cat is thus in PDP 7 assembly. See how cat evolved from the 1960s PDP implementation to how it is today.
A look at the fascinating history behind the one programming language with magical powers. "John McCarthy, Lisp's creator, did not originally intend for Lisp to be an elegant distillation of the principles of computation. But, after one or two fortunate insights and a series of refinements, that's what Lisp became."
Chaosnet is a long-extinct network protocol. But traces of it survive in the plumbing of the internet. Chaosnet was developed in the 1970s as a part of a larger effort to design and build a machine that could run the Lisp programming language more efficiently than a general-purpose computer.
There are two stories here. The first is a story about a vision of the web's future that never quite came to fruition. The second is a story about how a collaborative effort to improve a popular standard devolved into one of the most contentious forks in the history of open-source software development. An unabridged history of RSS' triumphs and failures.
