Code fun fact: The term 'bug' in computing originated in 1947 when a moth caused a malfunction in the Mark II computer. Debugging has been a part of programming ever since! #CodingHistory
More than 200 years ago, #CharlesBabbage pioneered the computer w/his "Difference Engine." bit.ly/1MvReDN
Khan Academy is making a difference but we still need your help! I am over half way to my goal. Can you help me get over the line? brnw.ch/21wFD6Z
Ada Lovelace, a mathematician and writer, is often regarded as the world's first computer programmer. In the mid-19th century, she worked with Charles Babbage on his Analytical Engine and wrote extensive notes, including an algorithm intended for the machine. (1816 - 1852)
Charles Babbage was a mathematician, philosopher, inventor, and mechanical engineer, Babbage originated the concept of the first digital programmable computer. He is also credited as the father of computer. (26 December 1791 – 18 October 1871)
