The main aim of the project is to create a digital interactive platform collecting all the relevant information about the development of programming languages and history of computing hardware.
Anyone interested in academic collaboration (students of Prague College or other universities) is welcome to join.
Please contact Stefano at stefano@praguecollege.cz, Veronika at veronika.d@praguecollege.cz or David at

The first lecture will be held on Thursday April 16. Stefano will talk about the beginning of programming languages and Ada Lovelace.
Ada Lovelace (1815-1852), daughter of Romantic poet Lord Byron, is today known as the "first programmer". She has written a description of Charles Babbage's early mechanical general-purpose computer, the analytical engine. She also foresaw the capability of computers to go beyond mere calculating while others focused only on these capabilities.
