This brief history of programming is based from the illustration of ____??
Jacquard Loom
invented by Joseph Marie Jacquard
Jacquard loom
is a mechanical automated loom that worked by creating different patterns using changeable punched cards that controlled its operation
Charles Babbage
These punch cards was later used by ____?
Charles Babbage
is considered the "Father of Computer", as a method for storing programs for his Analytic Engine.
Augusta Ada Byron
In 1842-1843, a woman translated an article about Charles Babbage's proposed Analytic Engine and described an algorithm that was cited as the first computer program making her the first computer programmer.
Augusta Ada Byron
She also theorized that computers could one day play music and chess
Augusta Ada Byron
The United States Department of Defense named a computer language in her honor
Countess of Lovelace
Augusta Ada Byron
Herman Hollerith
In 1889, he used punched cards, known as Hollerith cards after experimenting with paper tape.
Herman Hollerith
He also invented the tabular and keypunch machines along with the Hollerith cards which formed the basis for information processing.
Herman Hollerith
In 1896, he founded the Tabulating Machine Company which later became IBM.
Herman Hollerith
In 1906 he developed a plugboard or control panel that allowed the machine to perform different tasks without being reconstructed.
Atanasoff-Berry Computer or ABC
It is developed in 1937 and tested in 1942, first electronic digital computer
Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC)
it was designed to solve linear equations. It was not programmable but it did use binary arithmetic.
Colossus
In World War II, the ______ machines were the first programmable electronic digital computer. They were designed to break and read encrypted German messages.
Grace Murray Hopper
In 1947, _____________ is a computer programming pioneer, documented the first actual computer 'bug' (Fig. 8) when a moth got trapped in the Mark II Alken Relay Calculator.
Mark II Alken Relay Calculator
it was the first actual computer bug that got trapped in
Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator (EDSAC)
it was the first practical stored-program electronic computer
On May 6, 1949
When did EDSAC ran its first program?: calculating a table of squares and a list of prime numbers.
Fortran
the first high level computer programming language, was invented by John Backus in 1954 and was released commercially in 1957.
Fortran
was invented by John Backus in 1954 and was released commercially in 1957.
Space War
The first computer game.
Space War
was programmed by Steve Russell in 1961.
Space War
It is a two-player game where two spaceships, affected by the gravity of a star, fire missiles, unaffected by gravity, at each other.
Space War
It took roughly 200 man-hours to complete the game which was written on a DEC interactive minicomputer.
Nolan Bushnell
He went to program the first coin-operated arcade game.
Fred Cohen (1983)
The first computer virus programmer
Fred Cohen (1983)
He designed a hidden program that could infect a computer, copy itself, and then infect other computers through the use of a floppy disk. The program was benign, meant only to prove that it was possible.
