HOPPER, GRACE MURRAY, et al.
Report to the Association for Computing Machinery. First Glossary of Programming Terminology. [New York: A.C.M.], June 1954.
8vo. 25, [2 blank] pp. Original wrappers. Single-sheet folded questionnaire inserted, as issued. Light thumbing, minor crease and mark to back wrapper.
Provenance: Samuel S. Snyder, noted cryptographer (ownership inscription to front wrapper).
THE ORIGINAL PROGRAMMER'S GLOSSARY as issued by the A.C.M.'s Committee on Nomenclature chaired by Grace Murray Hopper of Remington Rand. Hopper characterizes this as their "first attempt at a glossary of the terms which are used in discussing the applications of digital computers to science, engineering and industry" (introduction). It follows Hopper's distribution of a draft glossary distributed at the Workshops on Automatic Coding in 1953 and two earlier articles ("Standards of Electronic Computers: Definitions of Terms," in Proceedings of the I.R.E., March 1951; and the Glossary in Computers and Automation published in 3 issues in 1953). This appears, however, to be the first separately published programmer's glossary. It includes such terms as "access time," "binary," "bit," "bus," "debug," "dump," "output," "program" as both a noun and a verb, "real-time operation," both "erasable storage" and "non-erasable storage," "trouble-shoot," and "write."
