Programming the ENIAC: a look back
Original: Programming the ENIAC(2011)
A Columbia University computing history page on programming the ENIAC has drawn renewed attention. The 2011 piece recounts how the machine, one of the earliest electronic general-purpose computers built at the University of Pennsylvania in the 1940s, was programmed by hand-switching cables and setting switches, work famously carried out by six women mathematicians. Readers are revisiting the story as an early milestone in computing and a notable moment in the history of women in technology.
Why now: Tech enthusiasts are sharing a classic history essay about how one of the first electronic computers was programmed.
