    This document outlines some of the key events in the early history of computer programming including Charles Babbage's Difference Engine in 1822, Joseph Jacquard's mechanical loom in 1801, and Ada Lovelace's work translating an article about Babbage's proposed Analytic Engine in 1842-1843. It also mentions the development of the first electronic digital computer by Atanasoff and Berry in 1937-1942, the first programmable electronic digital computer with the Colossus Machine in 1944, and the first practical stored-program electronic computer with the EDSAC in 1949.
