A Brief History of Computing Résumé

A Brief History of Computing Gerard O'Regan (SQC Consulting, Cork, UK)

This comprehensive book provides an introduction into the key topics in the history of computing in an easy-to-follow and concise manner. It does not require studies in computer science in order to be understood and appreciated. The book covers significant areas and events in the field from the beginnings of computation in 3000B.C. through to the present day. Helpful pedagogical elements such as exercises and chapter summaries are included. Focusing on the fundamental areas in the computing field, this clearly written and broad-ranging text will catch the attention and greatly benefit computer science students.

A Brief History of Computing Avis

From the reviews: The history of computing is finding its way into the college curricula more often, and therefore the need for an accessible text on the subject is becoming greater. O'Regan's book certainly merits careful consideration as an undergraduate text, as it has much to offer! Many books on computer science history emphasize only one or two areas -- usually hardware development and the commercial history. This book is much broader in scope! it is more suitable for an undergraduate course than most other books! The book is a good size; it is not too big physically, and not too detailed for an undergraduate treatment or for a general reader who wants an overview that can be easily digested over a rainy weekend! O'Regan's work manages to be both brief and broad in scope -- a difficult task. This makes the book a valuable read and a good textbook. (M.D. Derk, ACM Computing Reviews) In summary, I believe this text delivers on its aim of being an introduction to the topic for a technical audience. The book's main strength is the inclusion of software engineering approaches such as CMMI. This helps communicate a message that 'computing' is not just about calculation or data processing, but a complex topic that intersects with the history of business delivery, quality standards, and process governance. (Charles Care, BSHM Bulletin, Vol. 24, 2009)
