FYI, the article in The Age was not very accurate. Kristen Nygaard and his colleague Ole-Johan Dahl actually invented OBJECT ORIENTED programming in the early 60's! They created the programming language SIMULA which is fully object oriented already in 1964. It has taken the world almost 40 years to catch up .....!! :rose: HS

Not sure about his work on the basis for the Internet, but he is known for his impact on object oriented languages (he developed Simula with his partner). In Norway he is also known as one of the key supportes of "Say NO to European Community" (and they won eventually). Vagif Abilov MCP (Visual C++) Oslo, Norway If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them. Jack Handey, Deep Thoughts

What is "scratch" and why can everything be made from it?

The University of Oslo professor was acclaimed internationally for his work in developing the programming language Simula that laid the basis for MS-DOS and the internet. I don't get it, as far as I know, MS-DOS and "internet" are not programmed in simula and even less object-oriented ?!?!!? and Simula is/was ot a very popular programming language. Max.

As I said, the article in The Age is NOT accurate. He is famous for his contribution to object-oriented programming. This was also internationally recognized: :rose: 2001 A.M. Turing Award Citation: "For ideas fundamental to the emergence of object oriented programming, through the design of the programming languages Simula I and Simula 67" :rose: 2002 John von Neumann Medal Citation: "For the introduction of the concepts underlying object-oriented programming through the design and implementation of SIMULA 67" :omg:Note that he had it all figured out by 1964 (SIMULA I). :(Takes a long time to get good ideas generally accepted, heh?
