In a special blog, the CEO of TIC Software, Phil Ly, takes a little break from writing about NonStop and instead puts the focus on his good friend, Darrel Vandyke who participated in the early development of key TS/MP (Pathway) components. They touch on how Darrel was introduced to Tandem Computers, how he thinks Training Experience has evolved and where it’s heading, and finally about Darrel’s 2 books, “Fire in the Mind – History of Desktop Computing” and “The Last Breath”.
NonStop Learning Series: TS/MP (Pathway) and SCOBOL
The purpose of the following 2 videos:
To give people a high-level introduction of Pathway and the architecture of how it works.
To communicate and understand Pathway’s technology with the development team.
To raise the standards for people that want to understand what Pathway is.
It is not designed as a training video about Pathway, but instead, to appreciate the elegance of the software and how to get applications done. It’s particularly catered to Architects, System Analysts and Designers.
