Much of the internet runs on systems written in the C programming language, but C has major security vulnerabilities. Now, computer science researchers have created a tool that safeguards these ...

Cracking the Lorenz cipher 80 years later, GCHQ releases new images of Nazi code-breaking computer GCHQ unveils new docs on Colossus, a 1943 marvel that let allies "read Hitler's mind." ...

The program was specifically designed for a US$150,000 PDP-11 minicomputer — a rack-mounted, decidedly non-personal computer. Then, in 1987, Apple released its Macintosh II, a friendlier and ...

I was 5 or 6 when I got my first sense of the joys of computer programming. This was in the early 1980s, when few people had a computer. One day, my dad brought home a Sinclair ZX Spectrum, one of ...

These tools speed up programming and are getting better and better at generating correct, compilable and executable code. The internet is full of stories of non-coders creating simple applications ...

By mapping the brain activity of expert computer programmers while they puzzled over code, Johns Hopkins University scientists have found the neural mechanics behind this increasingly vital skill.

OpenAI estimates that Codex produces the right code 37 percent of the time. When Mr. Smith used the system as part of a “beta” test program this summer, the code it produced was impressive.
