Happy Ada Lovelace Day!


Happy Ada Lovelace Day!  In 1843, Ada wrote a method for calculating a sequence of the Bernoulli numbers with Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine.  This algorithm is widely considered the first computer program ever written.

    "1842 - Ada Lovelace writes the first program. She is hampered in her efforts by the minor inconvenience that she doesn't have any actual computers to run her code. Enterprise architects will later relearn her techniques in order to program in UML."
