The world's first programmer was Lady Augusta Ada Lovelace of England. She worked with Charles Babbage who invented the analytical engine, a forerunner of modern computers. She is credited with telling a machine what to do by using punch cards to program algebraic patterns. The US Department of Defense uses a programming language named ADA in her honour.
By the way, Ada Lovelace was the only child of the famous poet Lord Byron.
