- Roy Nutt was an American businessman and computer pioneer who co-founded Computer Sciences Corporation and was a co-creator of FORTRAN. Born in Marlborough, Massachusetts, Roy Nutt grew up in Glastonbury, Connecticut. He graduated in 1953 with a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Trinity College in Hartford. A pioneer in the fledgling software industry of the 1950s, Roy Nutt was a major contributor in the creation of IBM's FORTRAN, the first high-level scientific and engineering programming language. Part of the FORTRAN project's team, he was responsible for developing the computer command FORMAT, which controls data for input. Nutt also created an assembler for the IBM 704 mainframe that is today seen as the most successful individual programming effort of the 1950s. During this period, Roy Nutt met Fletcher Jones when he joined with nineteen others from the aerospace industry to form an IBM user group known as SHARE which developed its own operating system known as SOS. Jones, as Secretary of the group, became its national spokesman and their working relationship would later result in a business partnership. Roy Nutt had become a widely respected computer programmer for United Aircraft Corp. in East Hartford, Connecticut when he left in 1959 to team up with Fletcher Jones to establish Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) in Los Angeles. Jones, who ran the business and marketing end of things, obtained a contract from Honeywell that gave their business profitability and respect within the industry. Nutt was responsible for building Honeywell the first commercial compiler and oversaw the company's major 1961 entry into the space industry when they obtained a contract to support the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Flight Operations Facility. Within four years of its founding, CSC became the largest software company in the United States. Taking their business public with an IPO listed on the American Stock Exchange. By the end of the 1960s, CSC was listed on the New York Stock Exchange and had operations in Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, and in The Netherlands. In later years, Roy Nutt used some of his wealth to benefit Trinity College. He set up an endowment fund for a professorship and donated money to assist in the construction of the college's engineering and computing building. Roy Nutt died of lung cancer in Seattle, Washington on June 14, 1990.
- Roy Nutt, foi um empresário americano e pioneiro da Ciência da computação, que co-fundou a Computer Sciences Corporation e foi o co-criador do FORTRAN. Nascido em Marlborough, Massachusetts, Roy Nutt cresceu em Glastonbury, Connecticut. Graduou-se em 1953 com bacharel em matemática no Trinity College em Hartford, Connecticut. Pioneiro da industria do Software da década de 1950, Roy Nutt foi um dos principais contribuintes para a criação do FORTRAN da IBM, a linguagem de programação de baixo nível. Parte da equipe do projeto FORTRAN, ele foi responsável pelo desenvolvimento do comando de computador FORMAT, que controla os dados de entrada(input). Nutt também criador de um assembler para os mainframes (IBM 704) que é hoje considerado como o mais bem sucedido esforço de programação individual dos anos de 1950. Durante este período, Roy Nutt reuniu com Fletcher R. Jones e se juntaram com dezenove outros da indústria aeroespacial para formar um grupo de usuários da IBM conhecidos como SHARE que desenvolveu o seu próprio sistema operacional conhecido como SOS. Jones, tornou-se porta voz do grupo, e mais tarde isto viria a resultar numa parceria empresarial. Roy Nutt se tinha tornado programador de computador amplamente respeitado na United Aircraft Corp em East Hartford,Connecticut que ele deixou em 1959 para se associar a Fletcher Jones e estabelecer a Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC), em Los Angeles. Jones, que tinha um negócio e comercialização de mercadoria, obteve um contrato com a Honeywell que deu ao seu negócio rentabilidade e respeito dentro da indústria. Nutt foi responsável pela construção do primeiro Honeywell comercial compilador e supervisionou a entrada da empresa na indústria espacial quando obteve um contrato para apoiar o NASA no Jet Propulsion Laboratory (Laboratório de Propulsão a jato) fabrica de Operações de Vôo. Dentro de quatro anos após a sua fundação, CSC tornou-se a maior companhia de software nos Estados Unidos. Jones e Nutt e tornaram-se multi-milionários. Até ao final da década de 1960, CSC foi listado no New York Stock Exchange e tinha operações no Canadá, a Inglaterra, Alemanha, Itália, Holanda e Brasil. Nos anos posteriores, Roy Nutt utilizou parte da sua fortuna em benefício do Colegio Trinity. Ele criou um fundo de profissionalização de professores e doou dinheiro para ajudar na construção do edifício da faculdade de engenharia e computação. Roy Nutt morreu de câncer de pulmão em 1990.
