Without them, technology wouldn’t be like now! Who here claims to be a programmer? Or the IT Boy? SI? Well whatever but the like! You know what, if the Programmer world has its own hero! Batman? No. Superman? Wonder Woman? Not!! Iron Man? Not really!
Behind the rapid development of technology, there are people who are behind this! Starting from the inventor of the computer, the internet, algebra, and others. Do you know yet? If you don’t know, just calm down! We will watch it together!
- Charles Babbage (Inventor of the Computer)
Computer? Since how old have you been using computers? Even today, computers are still in use, even more sophisticated! Do you know who invented the computer? Yapp, Charles Babbage! Charles Babbage was an English mathematician who first put forward the idea of a programmable computer. Until now, Charles Babbage was dubbed the father of computers. He was born on December 26, 1791, in London, and died on October 18, 1871.
- Gary Arlen Kildall (Maker of the First Computer Operating System)
Computer Operating System or Operating System (OS) is a software system that manages the resources of hardware and software for programs on the computer. Gary Arlen Kildall is an American computer scientist and microchip entrepreneur who created the CP / M operating system and founded Digital Research, Inc. (DRI). Kildall is the person most contributed to making operating systems for computers.
- Augusta Ada King (World’s First Programmer)
Do you already know that the first programmer was a woman? Augusta Ada King, Countess Lovelace, born Augusta Ada Byron and now known as Ada Lovelace, was an English writer and mathematician best known for his work as the world’s first programmer. He wrote the world’s first machine algorithm in 1840 when computing machines only existed on paper! Really cool, right?
- Larry Tesler (Inventor of Copy, Paste, and Cut)
Copy, Paste, and Cut, who has never used this powerful tool? Almost everyone seems to have used this one tool. But, do you know who found it yet? Lawrence Gordon Tesler is an American computer scientist working in the field of human-computer interaction. Tesler has worked at Xerox PARC, Apple, Amazon, and Yahoo !. Tesler is known for his creations called copy, paste, and cut. Come on, say thank you to Mr. Larry Tesler! Thank You, Sir!
- Muḥammad bin Mūsā al-Khawārizmī (Father of Algebra and Inventor of Algorithms)
Algebra? Algorithms? Programmers should be familiar with this one! In mathematics and computer science, algorithms are step-by-step procedures for calculations. Algorithms are used for computation, data processing, and automatic reasoning. Algorithms are effective methods expressed as a limited set of well-defined instructions. Muḥammad bin Mūsā al-Khawārizmī is an expert in mathematics, astronomy, astrology, and geography originally from Persia. Usually, people will know him from one of his greatest discoveries, namely algebra. Apart from algebra, he also contributed to the discovery of Algorithms.
