Thank you for the references Paul. Found it at: www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/MCReps/CR1957-009.PDF
Also found "Course on programming in ALGOL 60 (11th Edition)" (1970): https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/MCReps/CR1970-013.PDF Now I need to translate them from Dutch. Perhaps there already exists an English translation of either? -----Original Message----- From: cctech [mailto:cctech-boun...@classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Paul Koning via cctech Sent: Sunday, June 20, 2021 4:58 PM To: Norman Jaffe; cctalk@classiccmp.org Cc: General Discussion, On-Topic Posts Only Subject: Re: Early Programming Books > Begin forwarded message: > > From: Norman Jaffe via cctalk <cctalk@classiccmp.org> > Subject: Re: Early Programming Books > Date: June 20, 2021 at 10:26:27 AM EDT > To: "General Discussion, On-Topic Posts Only" <cct...@classiccmp.org> > Reply-To: Norman Jaffe <tur...@shaw.ca>, "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" <cctalk@classiccmp.org> > > I have two books on ALGOL 60 from 1962 - > A Guide to ALGOL Programming, Daniel D. McCracken > A Primer Of ALGOL 60 Programming, E.W. Dijkstra Dijkstra and Zonneveld wrote the first ALGOL compiler in 1961, so there might be documents from that time, most likely in the CWI (Mathematical Center) archives. There's a course textbook on programming that is not machine specific, by Dekker, Dijkstra and van Wijngaarden, "Course on programming automatic calculating machines", November 1957. It's quite extensive; the document is 110 pages long. paul
