The Power of Abstraction

During last BruJUG third half-time, Alex Snaps told us about a presentation by Barbara Liskov (also known for the Liskov Substitution Principle) in which she tell us a bit of computer science history, how the data abstraction emerged and so on.

It's a very interesting presentation, it's quite amazing to see that most of programming languages principles where designed 30-40 years ago. If you are a developer, I recommend you to watch Barbara Liskov's presentation: "The Power of Abstraction".
