Short professional biography and history of Professor Niklaus Wirth. By Beat Gerber, in The ModulaTor. (March 01, 1999)

By Niklaus Wirth; Communications of the ACM, April 1971. Programming is usually taught by examples. Experience shows that the success of a programming course critically depends on the choice of these examples. Unfortunately, they are too often selected with the prime intent to demonstrate what a computer can do. Instead, a main criterion for selection should be their suitability to exhibit certain widely applicable techniques. [ACM] (April 01, 1971)
