Today: Gaming, hacking, and developing code are part of our everyday world, Programmers today work in every industry imaginable. There are thousands of different programming languages today, all developed to meet different needs meaning a higher demand for smarter and more complex programs.

1981: MS-DOS was released, allowing people around the world to use the early operating system for their personal computers. Windows hadn’t been created yet, files on a PC in the 1980s meant typing in commands to direct the computer to the correct location. Programs were written so end users could type simple commands to open, close, and run applications. A computer programmer’s job expanded from developing specialized programs for specific purposes to building software for everyday users.

1968-1969: Niklaus Wirth designed the famous programming language, Pascal, The development of Pascal pushed programming into a new era—past general calculations and into a more sophisticated and structured approach, As programming became more sophisticated, the demand for programmers increased. More languages meant more opportunities for programmers to create new technology.

1957: John Backus developed the first programming language at IBM that is still in use today: Fortran. The language has evolved to perform highly advanced calculations and it is both fast and effective at completing tasks. As computers got more advanced, so did programming. Programmers developed new languages so they could translate commands into binary, or machine code, so computers could understand.

1946: The Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC), designed for military use, was the first electric, general-purpose computer. It had over 17,000 vacuum tubes, and its creators nicknamed the ENIAC the “Giant Brain. Early on, a programmer’s job involved physically turning gears, flipping switches, or attaching wires on huge machines for each new task. It was labor-intensive and prone to errors.

1842: Ada Lovelace wrote the first computer program. Dubbed the “Enchantress of Numbers” by Charles Babbage, the inventor of the computer, she is known as the world’s first computer programmer. In the beginning, programming mostly existed on paper. The reality of programming was realized when Ada wrote an algorithm to compute numbers.
