Programming the ENIAC: A Look Back
Original: Programming the ENIAC (2011)
A 2011 essay on Columbia University's computing history site explains how the ENIAC, one of the first electronic computers, was programmed in the 1940s. It recounts how its original programmers, six women mathematicians, had to physically configure the machine with cables and switches rather than write stored programs, a story that continues to draw interest.
Why now: Readers are revisiting the foundational and little-known story of how the earliest electronic computers were operated and who did that work.
