GREAT COMPUTER SCIENTIST WHO SHOCK THEIR WORLD

1.Dennis MacAlistair Ritchie

                      Dennis MacAlistair Ritchie was an American computer scientist who is credited for shaping and the founder of the c programming language that is used today in various software applications, embedded system development, operating systems.
                    Dennis also co-created the UNIX operating system. For his work, in 1983 he received the Turing Award from the ACM, the Hamming Medal in 1990 from the IEEE and in 1999 the National Medal of Technology from President Clinton. He was the head of Lucent Technologies System Software Research Department when he retired in 2007. He passed away on October 12, 2011 causing the Fedora 16 Linux distribution to be released in his memory.
                Ritchie was no doubt a wonderful man of great archievemnets he was wonderful and he worked more than all others of his time  whoose invention shaped the computer world of OOP(object oriented programming).

2. Bjarne Stroustrup

                 Bjarne Stroustrup is a Danish computer scientist who generally known for the creation and the evolvement of the and highly successful C++ programming language.
bjarne invented this programming language  all by himself, by writing its early definitions, producing its first implementation, formulating its design criteria, designing all its major facilities, processing extension proposals for standards committee and its standard textbook.
Bjarne is currently working as a Professor and holder of the College of Engineering Chair in Computer Science at Texas A&M University.

3. Sir Timothy John “Tim” Berners-Lee

              Sir Timothy John “Tim” Berners-Lee is a British computer scientist who is known for his creation of the World Wide Web as well as the implementation of the first successful communication between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) client and server via the Internet in November, 1989.
lived a well known live in britain was well known for his achievement and he succesfully changed the face of the internet network

4.Guido van Rossum

                 Guido van Rossum is a Dutch computer programmer who is the author of the popular Python programming language that is wildly used today. His creation of Python lead him to being declared a “Benevolent Dictator For Life” the In the Python community which means that he continues to oversee the Python development process, making decisions where necessary, forever.

Rossum had developed Python while working at Google, where he also created Mondrian (a code review system internally used by the Google) and Rietveld. After working for Google for 7 years, he is now working at Dropbox. Rossum has been recognized as a distinguished engineer by the Association for Computing Machinery and also received the NLUUG Award in May 2003.

5.James Arthur Gosling

James Arthur Gosling is a Canadian computer scientist and an officer of the order of Canada. He has coded quite a number of programs but is widely known for his creation of the highly successful and commonly used Java programming language in 1994 as well as its original virtual machine and compiler. He credits his creation towards his graduate student days where he created a p-code virtual machine for the lab’s DEC VAX computer, so that his professor could run UCSD Pascal programs and then realized that the architecture-neutral execution for widely distributed programs could be achieved by a similar technique.

James has also made major contributions to several other software systems, such as NeWS and Gosling Emacs. Due to his extra-ordinary achievements Gosling was elected to Foreign Associate member of the United States National Academy of Engineering.
