Interesting biography. Finally he found what he was good at. And that changed the history of computing.

===> The specifications for the FORTRAN language which John Backus designed almost 60 years ago. He describes in this document the major steps involved in programming like Analysis and coding, coding and debugging which are still valid concepts even today.

Amazing.
