A restored 1975 educational film demonstrating structured programming techniques and how to critically read and analyze unstructured code.
This is a 16mm film titled "Critical Program Reading" I applied some color correction as this is very faded. Mostly this worked well but there are some magenta backgrounds that are... intense! Little information is known about this film. Credits are very incomplete, and there was no information left in the film can. Credits open with "Edutronics Presents / Structured Programming Techniques/ Part 1 Critical Program Reading: Structuring and Unstructured Program / Produced in Cooperation with ETHNOTECH Gerald Weinberg Dennis Geller Tom Plum Copyright MCMLXXV Edutronics Systems International, Inc.Why it's here
