Computing History Timeline
Posted by sakhs on June 12, 2008
Earlier this year, students in year 10 computing completed a research assignment on the history of computers. Each student was assigned a particular, significant event starting with the invention of the abacus up to the present day. The completed projects have been assembled as a series of web pages.

Of particular interest to me is the entry about Grace Murray Hopper. This woman was amazing. She practically invented computer programming and was also an admiral in the U.S. navy.

I think the students did a great job on this project. We plan to add more pages; thanks and well done to all those involved.
