On 19th June 1843, Ada Lovelace made first program for Charles Babbage's Difference Engine...I didn't know that ..:o

But I know that the first device capable of doing some kind of processing was made by Charles Babbage and thats why he is known as Father of Computers..:)

Is thy face like thy mother's, my fair child!
Ada! sole daughter of my house and of my heart?
When last I saw thy young blue eyes they smiled'
And then we parted,-not as now we part,
but with a hope.

Is the ADA language named after her?
