As posted by Anna Liu, Frances Allen won this year’s Turing Award.
This whole industry has been created by two very famous women:
Ada Byron, Lady Lovelace: when Charles Babbage invented the hardware known as the Analytical Engine, Ada started programming -or- the software. A century out of time, these two very smart people collaborated not via email – but letter writing.
Admiral Grace Hopper: whilst Lady Lovelace did not get to see her ideas come to life, Grace Hopper invented many terms, computer programming languages and an industry.
Question: who is the Turing Award named after?
