the Analytical Engine - an engine created by Ada Byron (the Lady Lovelace) and a person named Babbage - Ada suggested to Babbage writing a plan for how the engine might calculate Bernoulli numbers. This plan, is now regarded as the first "computer program."
A software language developed by the U.S. Department of Defense was named "Ada" in her honor in 1979

In 1843 when Ada Augusta Countess of Lovelace wrote the first program for Charles Babbage's (never built) Analytical Engine while translating a description of the engine based on one of Babbage's lectures from the year before from French to English. Her program calculated the Bernoulli numbers.
Babbage developed some two dozen programs for the Analytical Engine between 1837 and 1840, but only recorded them in his notes and did not publish them.
One thing that you can call a person that is addicted to computer programming is a computer nerd. A computer nerd is always on the computer.
Pascal programming was invented by Niklaus E. Wirth, a Swiss computer scientist in 1968. It was named in honour of Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) because he invented the first automatic adding machine.
I have only fooled around with a couple of animation software applications but they have not required me to know programming.
high level programming language
There are Associated Degree (U.S.A.) and Professional Certification available for Computer programming. But you don't need to have one to be a programmer, and have any of those (AA degree or certification) does not mean that you can or should program, either!!Computer Science major is NOT the only way to learn computer programming. There should be courses available for non-computer science majors.
