In his talk, Christian Hujer gives a brief overview over the evolution of programming languages, from the first programming languages to the present day. This will be accompanied by an evolution of personal computers, from 8-bit computers like the Amstrad CPC 464 to the present day computers. Along the way, he will address questions like why is functional programming, the oldest programming paradigm, the youngest to become popular? After structured programming, object-oriented programming, and functional programming, which will be the next paradigm to gain popularity? And what role did open source play in the evolution of programming languages and personal computers? The talk will be followed by a Q&A session.
