Ada, Lady Lovelace
If you ever wondered whether there is a link between Lord Byron, Charles Babbage, Lady Lovelace, and a 20th Century procedural programming language then you will most certainly find this lively written article by Alfred Schreiber most revealing. Lady Lovelace, aka Ada, was the poet's illegitimate daughter who became acquainted with the engineer and his famous ``brain machine. She was to write an article about the very idea of what we would nowadays call the art of programming. Its translation from the French was later published in ``Taylor's Scientific Memoirs as a ``Sketch of the Analytical Engine invented by Charles Babbage, Esq. (1843) and can be found on the Web at \url{http://psychclassics.yorku.ca/Lovelace/menabrea.htm}.
