<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The week to celebrate women in IT kicks off. Let’s bring upfront the stories of #famousITwomen who’ve made breakthrough contributions along the history.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Did you know that the\u00a0world’s first computer programmer is a woman?\u00a0Ada Lovelace<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0Our first source of inspiration. She was an English mathematician and writer. Her best recognized work is on Charles Babbage’s early in 1842 mechanical general-purpose computer, the Analytical Engine<\/a>. This\u00a0was monumental in paving the way for the modern day computers.<\/p>\n Her notes on the Analytical Engine\u00a0are considered the first algorithm ever used\u00a0to implement on a computer. She also developed a vision on the capability of computers to go beyond mere calculating or number-crunching.<\/p>\n\n
