Memoirs of a software pioneer.1
M. Goetz · IEEE Annals of the History of Computing · 2002
In the first of this two-part series, these memoirs trace the software industry's beginnings back to the early struggles by software firms such as Applied Data Research as they tried to compete against IBM, the computer industry's Goliath. The author identifies the questions raised, from the antitrust suits and related issues, that led to IBM's unbundling in 1970.
