Ada Lovelace, the World's First Computer Programmer
24 March, a day of commemoration Ada Lovelace, a woman who is the world's first computer programmer from England. The whole world bloggers post similar topics, and technologies around the Eve, in honor of women who live in this 19th century. Who was Ada Lovelace? His name is not as famous as Charles Babage or Alan Turing, but he was the first computer programmer who deserve a place in the hearts of today's technology enthusiast.
There's full name Augusta King, Countess of Lovelace was born in December 1815, There is an only child of Lord Byron, a famous poet of that period. But there had never known her father since her mother and father's wedding is very short. There mother, Annabella, educating There is to rely more on her left brain in order not to follow the career footsteps of his father. There are so very clever in mathematics from an early age. In 1828 he had designed a flying machine.
In 1883 she met Charles Babbage, and helped write the world's first computer program for Babbage's creation engine, Analytical Engine, the forerunner to today's computers. An important part of the contribution of women is translating the memoirs of Luigi Menabrea, and added a note that includes metide calculating Bernoulli numbers on the machine. There has also written a number of initial explanation about computer and software. Unfortunately he never could complete its development around the world of computers uty because he died at the age of 36 years because of cancer and bleeding at 27 Novemver 1852.
Year 1843, Ada wrote papers about the development of computer software, artificial intelligence and computer music. In 1980, the United States Department of Defense gave tribute to his computer programming language called "ADA".
The question is, why the name of Ada Lovelace is not as popular as computer inventor Charles Babbage as a beginning? It could be because it's short enough age so can not resolve a number of findings and research. There also are considered because of gender issues, as we all know the world of technology is identical to the male gender, so that when there is the Eve that affect the name will be drowned in the "ocean" of Adam's dominance. But whatever the reason, history proves that women have a role no less important in the field of information technology.
A number of names of women continue to decorate the world's information technology industry. Just mention Carly Fiorina, former CEO of Hewlett Packard from 1999 until 2005, after 20 years with AT & T and Lucent Technologies. There was also CEO of Yahoo, Carol Bartz, who previously was head of Autodesk. In Indonesia, there are names like Shinta Danuwardoyo, CEO Bubu.Com, and Betti Alisjahbana had eight years leading the IBM Indonesia
