Happy Birthday to Ada Lovelace, the daughter of Lord Byron. She’s widely regarded as the first female computer programmer all the way back in the 1840s! She was introduced to Charles Babbage who was working on his Analytical Engine. That machine is considered to be the forerunner to modern computers.
While Babbage is considered the father of computers, Lovelace realised the engine’s ability to create music and manipulate numbers and symbols. Through this, she wrote many codes or programs for him. Thus, she’s ensured her place in computing history!
