Ada Lovelace Day
Ada Lovelace Day is an international day of blogging to celebrate the achievements of women in technology and science.
Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace was one of the world’s first computer programmers, and one of the first people to see computers as more than just a machine for doing sums. She wrote programs for Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine, a general-purpose computing machine, despite the fact that it was never built. She also wrote the very first description of a computer and of software.
