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.
