Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Speedcoding or Speedcode was the first higher-level language created for an IBM computer. The language was developed by John Backus in 1953 for the IBM 701 to support computation with floating point numbers. The system was an interpreter and focused on ease of use at the expense of system resources.Psedo ops for arithmetic and math functions Conditional and unconditional branching Autoincrement registers Only 700 words, and very slow.
