The Raspberry Pi Foundation has this week announced the launch of a new platform specifically created for learning about computer science and taking the form of the aptly named Ada Computer Science.

This Thursday, Dec. 10, is the 200th birthday of Ada Lovelace, a pioneer in the discipline of computer science. Tutored from childhood in mathematics and logic, at 17 Lovelace was introduced to ...

Ada Lovelace has been called the world’s first “computer programmer.” In the 1840s, she wrote the world’s first machine algorithm for an early computing machine that existed only on paper. Lovelace ...

From 1832, when she was 17, Ada’s remarkable mathematical abilities began to emerge, and her interest in mathematics dominated her life even after her marriage in 1835 to William King, 8th Baron King, ...

A century before the dawn of the computer age, Ada Lovelace imagined the modern-day, general-purpose computer. It could be programmed to follow instructions, she wrote in 1843. It could not just ...

Reading through most accounts of history, we could be forgiven for assuming that women were not the warriors, the great thinkers nor the pioneering scientists who shaped and changed our world. That ...

Whether it’s an app, a software feature, or an interface element, programmers possess the magical ability to create something new out of virtually nothing. Just give them the hardware and a coding ...

Seen by some as the world's first programmer, Lovelace created technical notes for the Analytical Engine conceived by Charles Babbage. Lance Whitney is a freelance technology writer and trainer and a ...

Curious Chip has unveiled a new Raspberry Pi powered computer system they have created called Ada, which has been specifically designed for curious and creative children to be able to easily design ...
