Wiki: Bill Atkinson

"He designed and implemented HyperCard, the first popular hypermedia
system. Atkinson was also part of the Apple Macintosh development team
and was the creator of the ground-breaking MacPaint application, among
others.

Atkinson also designed and implemented QuickDraw, the fundamental tool-
box that the Macintosh used for graphics. QuickDraw's performance was
essential for the success of the Macintosh's graphical user interface."

Bill Atkinson on Folklore.org

"Bill's work on QuickDraw was the foundation of both the Lisa and the
Macintosh, and he was really the principal designer of the Macintosh UI.

Later, he single-handedly wrote MacPaint, the initial killer app for the Mac,
followed by Hypercard. He co-founded General Magic in 1990. Since 1996,
he's been a full-time nature photographer."

Slashdot: HyperCard, What Could Have Been

"HyperCard is a programming environment that can create applications as
diverse as utilities and games by linking 'cards' arranged into 'stacks.'

Commands are executed through a natural-language scripting language cal-
led HyperTalk... The software has been phenomenally successful and highly
influential. But Atkinson feels that if only he'd realized separate cards and
stacks could be linked on different people's machines through the Net — in-
stead of cards and stacks on a particular machine — he would have created
the first Internet browser."

25 years of HyperCard—the missing link to the Web

"I missed the mark with HyperCard," Atkinson lamented. "I grew up in a
box-centric culture at Apple. If I'd grown up in a network-centric culture,
like Sun, HyperCard might have been the first Web browser. My blind spot
at Apple prevented me from making HyperCard the first Web browser."
