Some aspects of the prehistory and the background of Theoretical Computer Science are discussed. We consider the introduction of notations to describe dynamic processes, the change to the algorithmic specification of problems and the attempts to develop programs to make programming easier. The impact of Chomsky's theory of generative grammar, its reception and its relationship with the BNF-description are discussed. Observations on formal language theory and its development into Theoretical Computer Science conclude this (sketchy) survey
