Wolf Rentzsch has been writing Apple software since 1993 and web software since 1998. He’s spoken at conferences across the world and even ran his own conference, C4, right here in Chicago for four years. His passion is to make software better.
We tend to view history and progress in a straight line, each thing building on the past. But that’s not simply the case. For example, we forgot the cure to scurvy. The standard lament is that, for computers, everything was invented in the 1960s. Fortunately that’s only 85% true. But it’s way more true than most programmers think. Wolf will provide examples of tech from the 60, 70s, and 80s that finally went mainstream and promising old tech that should move into the mainstream.
