History of programming

History of programming

1. Analytical Engine

   • Proposed by Charles Babbage in 1840
     • Not created by him though
   • Ada Lovelace
     • Wrote an article based on it
       • Which explained how to represent the Bernoulli numbers
         • Became the first computer program
   • Gave step to evolutionary advances
     • Devices went from theoretical to physical
       • Manual to automatic
       • Analog to digital

2. Birth of main frame computers

   • Instructions made by a programmer required
     • To process data and be sent to the machine
     • Applied to organize and analyze data
   • no monitor
     • everything was done through printouts
   • Eventually got smaller
     • More languages were created
       • To serve for specific projects
         • Sometimes multiple languages used or combined

3. Eventually more languages will be created and evolved in order to adapt to innovation
