1843-XI
The article talks about Countess Lovelace, who is widely regarded as the first programmer in history. She lived in the 19th century when computers were still just an idea. However, she was fascinated by Charles Babbage's analytical machine and managed to create an algorithm that could be run on it. Countess Lovelace was also the first person to recognize that computers could be used for more than just calculations, but also to create music, art, and poetry.
In September 1843, Countess Lovelace published her "Notes" about Babbage's Analytical Engine in "Scientific Memoirs".
