After reviewing documentation from the time, Backus learned that the FORTRAN project was " well underway " when he and his team got a chance to see Laning and Zierler's work:

The statue of Roger Williams at Roger Williams UniversityMoore ( 1963 ) traces the ' negative ' approach of the orthodox Puritan writers ( Bradford, Winthrop, Morton, Cotton Mather, Hutchinson, Winsor, and Dexter ), the ' romantic ' approach ( George Bancroft, Vernon Parrington, Ernst, and Brockunier ) and the ' realistic ' approach ( Backus, H. Richard Niebuhr, Roland Bainton, and Hudson ), and regards the work of Mauro Calamandrei, who was followed by Perry Miller and Ola Winslow, as crucial.

Former colonial governors of Rhode Island Stephen Hopkins and Samuel Ward, as well as the Reverend Isaac Backus and the Reverend Samuel Stillman, were among those who played an instrumental role in Brown's foundation and later became American revolutionaries.

In computer science, a popular notation for context-free grammars is Backus – Naur Form, or BNF.

Craig's thesis was heavily influenced by the work of John Backus on functional programming ( FP ) languages.

In late 1953, John W. Backus submitted a proposal to his superiors at IBM to develop a more practical alternative to assembly language for programming their IBM 704 mainframe computer.

John Backus said during a 1979 interview with Think, the IBM employee magazine, " Much of my work has come from being lazy.

In a scene from It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, a pilot ( Jim Backus ) asks for an Old Fashioned while flying an airplane.

Most RFCs use a common set of terms such as " MUST " and " NOT RECOMMENDED " ( as defined by RFC 2119 ), Augmented Backus – Naur Form ( ABNF ) ( as defined by RFC 5234 ) as a metalanguage, and simple text-based formatting, in order to keep the RFCs consistent and easy to understand.

The story of Virginia's inquiry and the The Suns response was adapted in 1932 into an NBC produced cantata ( the only known editorial set to classical music ) and an Emmy Award-winning animated television special in 1974, animated by Bill Meléndez ( best known for his work on the various Peanuts specials ) and featuring the voices of Jim Backus, Susan Silo and Courtney Lemmon, with theme song performed by Jimmy Osmond.

That pilot was hosted by Bert Parks with the squares occupied by Cliff Arquette ( in his " Charley Weaver " comic persona ), Wally Cox, Rose Marie, Morey Amsterdam, Abby Dalton, Jim Backus, Gisele MacKenzie, Robert Q. Lewis and Vera Miles.

He does not like being associated with the Backus-Naur form ( attributed to him by Donald Knuth ) and says that he would prefer it to be called the Backus Normal Form.

In computer science, Augmented Backus – Naur Form ( ABNF ) is a metalanguage based on Backus – Naur Form ( BNF ), but consisting of its own syntax and derivation rules.

In computer science, BNF ( Backus Normal Form or Backus – Naur Form ) is one of the two main notation techniques for context-free grammars, often used to describe the syntax of languages used in computing, such as computer programming languages, document formats, instruction sets and communication protocol ; the other main technique for writing context-free grammars is the van Wijngaarden form.

The next day, in a daring and violent abduction, Best and Stevens were kidnapped from the Café Backus — Klop was fatally wounded in the shootout with German agents — and rushed to Berlin.

Further development of ALGOL led to ALGOL 60 ; in its report ( 1963 ), Peter Naur named Backus's notation Backus Normal Form, and simplified it to minimize the character set used.

Fred rents a luxurious suite from Peter Bowers ( Jim Backus ), who is desperate to find a tenant ( the previous occupant was a highly-publicized murder victim ).

Backus – Naur Form, developed in the 1960s by John Backus and Peter Naur, is one of the earliest metalanguages used in computing.

Project leader Peter Backus remarked that they had been forced to conclude that " we live in a quiet neighborhood.

It was revised and expanded by Peter Naur for ALGOL 60, and at Donald Knuth's suggestion renamed Backus – Naur Form.
