IEEE Software's "On Computing" with Grady Booch

No Laughing Matter

Author Grady Booch provides an audio recording of his On Computing column, in which he discusses how the way to disrupt an industry is to question the fundamental, sacred assumptions on which that industry is founded, then journey along the path of the possible.

Disrupting the Disrupters

Author Grady Booch provides an audio recording of his On Computing column, in which he discusses how the next generation of software-intensive systems will be taught instead of programmed. This poses considerable pragmatic challenges in how we develop, deliver, and evolve them.

It Is Cold. And Lonely.

Author Grady Booch provides an audio recording of his On Computing column, in which he discusses how computing amplifies the actions of governments, but can also temper its behavior by enabling mechanisms for private communication as well as for open and transparent communication by the people of a nation. Similarly, governments can help focus the artifacts of computing to the health and happiness of its citizens, but temper it as well.

Anarchy and Order

Author Grady Booch provides an audio recording of his On Computing column, in which he discusses how developing software-intensive systems is like many other things, but it’s also like no other thing. And for the general public, how software is made remains a mystery. Subscribe to the On Computing podcast on iTunes at https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/ieee-softwares-on-computing.

Then A Miracle Occurs

Author Grady Booch provides an audio recording of his On Computing column, in which he discusses how parallels exist between the Industrial Revolution and our current computing revolution regarding risk, transparency, and responsibility. Grady then examines some of these parallels, their implications for society, and individual developer's responsibilities. 

Of Boilers, Bit, and Bots

Author Grady Booch provides an audio recording of his On Computing column, in which he discusses how we must come to grips with a number of practical and ethical conundrums as machines of our own creation become our companions, helpmates, and servants.

All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace

Author Grady Booch provides an audio recording of his On Computing column, in which he discusses how although we live in a world of unprecedented complexity and astonishing possibility, we should never forget our past, for those who came before us in computing enabled those possibilities.

Remembrance of Things Past

Author Grady Booch provides an audio recording of his On Computing column, in which he discusses how even in the face of the tumultuous changes brought about by computing, the threads that define our very humanity still persist and bring a poignant texture to a fully digital life. 

The Persistence of Memory

Author Grady Booch provides an audio recording of his On Computing column, in which he discusses how much a functioning member of society today should know about computing. 

To Code or Not to Code

Author Grady Booch provides an audio recording of his On Computing column, in which he discusses the big questions whose answers shape the systems with which we engage. 

The Big Questions

Author Grady Booch provides an audio recording of his On Computing column, in which he discusses how from the inside of a software-intensive system, there are many different styles of implementation, each with its own subtle characteristics. From the outside, it all looks the same: it’s completely invisible. 

The Incredible Lightness of Software

Storytelling involves weaving abstractions about fundamental truths regarding the world and the human experience to entertain and educate. When it comes to movies and television, producers and directors often make computer technology look like magic. It doesn't have to be that way. 

The Stories We Tell Ourselves

Every line of code represents a moral decision; every bit of data collected, analyzed, and visualized has moral implications. 

The Human and Ethical Aspects of Big Data

No matter your individual position on the matter, faith is a powerful element of the human experience. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that computing intersects with the story of belief in many ways. Here, we explore computing as a medium for faith, as a ritual space, and as a technology that itself raises certain metaphysical issues. 

Deus ex Machina

Grady Booch reads his IEEE Software column On Computing, discussing the impact of computing on humanity.
