Description

Ada Lovelace: Poet of Science - The First Computer Programmer Diane Stanley's lyrical writing brings to life the fascinating story of Ada Lovelace, who is known as the first computer programmer. Born to a famous poet and his mathematical wife, Ada had a vivid imagination and a creative gift for connecting ideas in original ways. Like her father, she had a passion for science, math, and machines, while like her mother, she was driven by a desire to make something important with her creative mind. A hundred years before the dawn of the digital age, Ada envisioned the computer-driven world we know today and wrote the first computer program. Her groundbreaking work has made her a legendary figure in history. Vibrant illustrations by Jessie Hartland capture the spirit of Ada Lovelace and bring her story vividly to life, making this biography an engaging read for anyone interested in science, technology, or the history of computing.
