INTERNATIONAL DAY
Ada Lovelace Day is an international day of blogging aimed at
drawing attention to women who excel in technology. Falling on 24th
March, this day highlights the fact that women's contributions in this
world often go unacknowledged.
Born in 1815, Lovelace is considered the first ever programmer. She
earned this accolade for writing a description of Charles Babbage's
early mechanical general-purpose computer, the analytical engine, a
task which involved the manipulation of symbols according to rules.
She also foresaw the possibility of computers to go beyond mere
calculation while those around her remained fixed on this capability.
