Programming the ENIAC: a look back
Original: Programming the ENIAC (2011)
A 2011 historical account of programming the ENIAC, the first general-purpose electronic computer completed in 1945, is drawing renewed attention. The piece, hosted on Columbia University's computing history site, describes how the machine was programmed physically through cables and switches rather than stored software, a task carried out largely by a team of women mathematicians. Readers are revisiting how early computing demanded a fundamentally different approach from modern programming.
Why now: Historical accounts of early computing regularly resurface and gain traction among technically minded readers interested in computing's origins.
