Read Admiral Grace Hopper,
\nInventor & Scientist<\/h2>\n

An American computer scientist, and a Rear Admiral in the US Navy,\u00a0Grace Hopper\u00a0invented the first programming language to use english words. She is seen as a key inventor of the language COBOL\u00a0(an acronym for\u00a0CO<\/strong>mmon B<\/strong>usiness-O<\/strong>riented L<\/strong>anguage) a widely used programming language. She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Vassar in 1928 with a bachelor\u2019s degree in mathematics and physics and earned her master\u2019s degree at Yale University in 1930. Even though she was only 105 pounds, well under the minimum weight for joining the navy, she got an exemption and enlisted in WWII. After the war, still working for the navy, her associates discovered a moth mucking up the Mark II Computer. It was removed and she coined the term \u201cdebugging\u201d. She then joined the UNIVAC team where she pioneered using computers for more than arithmetic. By 1952 she had invented an operational compiler, the first she knew of.<\/p>\n

Ayogo software developer\u00a0Stacey Vachon\u00a0found a few famous quotes by Admiral Hopper:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it\u2019s a good idea, go ahead and do it. It\u2019s much easier to apologize than it is to get permission.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHumans are allergic to change. They love to say, \u201cWe\u2019ve always done it this way.\u201d I try to fight that. That\u2019s why I have a clock on my wall that runs counter-clockwise.\u201d — internationalwomensday.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
