Who is this computing pioneer, and what programming technique is named based on him?

(My sympathies to anyone who has been forced to use this to code.)

Answer
Charles Simonyi, a programmer-guru type chap who’s responsible for one of the few good MS products, MS Excel.

The Hungarian Notation of variable naming was named after him (since he’s from Hungary).
