Ada Lovelace


Ada Lovelace
Possibly the Worlds first computer programmer

She was one of the children of Lord Byron.

This is possibly the first algorithm (program) though many believe that Charles Babbage was the first programmer.

 Ada wrote that between 1842 and 1843

"Lovelace's notes are important in the early history of computers. She also developed a vision of the capability of computers to go beyond mere calculating or number-crunching, while many others, including Babbage himself, focused only on those capabilities".
