In this talk, developer, geek, and digital archaeologist, Steven Goodwin, breaks down the very first program ever written to explain what it does and how it works. He covers the background of Ada and Charles Babbage (the father of computing who designed both the difference and analytical engines), and goes on to simulate the first program in an easy-to-understand manner.
He finishes up with a discussion on the controversy surrounding her involvement in computing, aiming to answer the question once and for all - "Was she really the first programmer?"
