The most important programmers who made the Internet world we know today - Part I

We all know the latest developments and the devices and their work and their virtues on our lives. How many times have we said, "Without this invention we would have perished?" But in fact, this should be corrected to: "Without the inventor we would have perished."

The idea is that it is difficult to hear this because few of us know the inventors of those devices that have changed our lives, how surprised we are when we know who is under the slogan "Here it is," and then do not forget to forget his name again for this poor man.

So we decided in this article to talk about these inventors and programmers who have put a wonderful footprint in the world of Internet and technology, because their work is inherent to us every day of our day and every hour sometimes, and thank their great minds, and their contributions that made the world very different and more open :

1-Ada Lovelace (Woman who wrote the first computer program in the world)

Ada Lovelace is the daughter of the famous Romantic poet Lord Byron. Her mother encouraged her to study mathematics at an early age. In 1840, she wrote the analytic algorithm, which was not tested in her life, but was widely recognized as the world's first written computer program.

2-Alan Turing (CAPTCHA Inventor)

Alan Turing made important contributions to his army and state in World War II, an exceptional computer and mathematics scientist. In 1950, he wrote books on artificial intelligence and devised the computer's thinking experience, which we now know as the Turing experiment.

Today, reverse torsion codes are used in CAPTCHA codes to determine if the user is human or automated.

3-Hedy Lamarr (Hollywood star who invented the WIFI)

One of the brightest Hollywood stars of the 1930s and 1940s, and the innovative concept of "radio frequency signals" during World War II in the hope of using Axis missiles.

Although its invention never came to fruition during the war, it helped its technology to create the Bluetooth and WIFI we know today.

4-Grace Hopper (Naval Admiral and Software Mother)

She is a member of the US Navy and an amazing computer scientist. She was the first to propose a computer programming language in English, where she built her first interpreter on the world on character-based systems.

In 1959, CODASYL (the Data Systems Language Committee, established to develop standard programming languages) was led to create the COBOL programming language. So, I called the software mother.

5- Ken Thompson (hacker and inventor of programming language B)

Ken Thompson is a multi-talented hacker who is responsible for the design of Unix, the inventor of the programming language B and Go used in some of the applications we know today such as SoundCloud and Twitch.

6- Niklaus Wirth (author of some of the most important texts of the program)

Responsible for composing a number of important programming languages, most notably Pascal, designed to develop ALGOL 60 programming language, is also a standard programming language for students.

His works are key to very important scripts, which still exist today.

7- Adele Goldberg (The Woman Who Inspired Steve Jobs)

Smaltalk-80 and Simula 67 were built to build graphical interfaces in the computer and are very similar to today's, so Steve Jobs was inspired to build the Mac desktop environment.

She also predicted the evolution and rise of social media in her article "Personal Dynamic Media."

8- Stave Wozniak (the genius behind the Apple legend)

He built the first fast-paced Macintosh computer in 1976 and was one of the first to work on Atari video games, working on complex electronic board designs.

His work on video games inspired him to design the colorful graphical display interface for Apple II, which became the most successful computer at the time.

9- Donald Knuth (pioneer in modern computer programming)

One of the brightest pioneers of computer science, in terms of coding and his computer programming, he created both WEB and CWEB software.

He also devised TeX systems that help any user write everything he needs in a simple, effective and amazing way.

10- Radia Perlman (Women Who Make Big Networks Possible)

Its invention of the STP protocol, making the possibility of connecting networks between each other is not impossible.

Linking this protocol between different Internet networks, that is, the existence of any link that does not follow the domain addresses to the tree address is possible to connect to it, the presence of both Bridge and Router is a good guide. Therefore, they connect the different networks, thus expanding the network supernaturally.
