Programming Legend Charles Petzold unlocks the secrets of the extraordinary and prescient 1936 paper by Alan M. Turing

Mathematician Alan Turing invented an imaginary computer known as the Turing Machine; in an age before computers, he explored the concept of what it meant to be computable, creating the field of computability theory in the process, a foundation of present-day computer programming.

The book expands Turing’s original 36-page paper with additional background chapters and extensive annotations; the author elaborates on and clarifies many of Turing’s statements, making the original difficult-to-read document accessible to present day programmers, computer science majors, math geeks, and others.

Interwoven into the narrative are the highlights of Turing’s own life: his years at Cambridge and Princeton, his secret work in cryptanalysis during World War II, his involvement in seminal computer projects, his speculations about artificial intelligence, his arrest and prosecution for the crime of “gross indecency,” and his early death by apparent suicide at the age of 41.

Building good software applications is hard. Improvements in languages, frameworks, and tools do make things easier, and there are more of these improvements each year.
But at the same time, the technology landscape that developers live in keeps changing and getting more complex. Just when you get productive with one set of tools and technology, there’s something new that you have to adapt to or integrate with. And there’s a perpetual demand for “more software quicker”—organizations can never get all the software they want as soon as they want it.
WebSphere® Portlet Factory was created to apply concepts of software automation to help address this ongoing problem of software development complexity. This software automation moves the developer up a level, above the level of individual code artifacts. Instead of directly manipulating elements such as JSP, Java™, JavaScript, and XML files, the developer interacts with builders in a model, and the builders then generate all the necessary code artifacts in response to the developer’s high-level instructions.
You can think of builders as encapsulations of software features or design patterns. Each builder implements one feature of an application, controlled by instructions provided by the developer in a wizard-like user interface. An application is built by successively adding and modifying features (builders) until the application works as intended. The net effect for developers is that they can rapidly develop complex applications without having to learn (and remember) all the underlying technology.
