Betty Holberton

Betty Holberton was an American computer programmer, one of the six original programmers of the ENIAC. She later helped develop early programming languages and software standards.

Jean Bartik: Jean Bartik was an American computer programmer and one of the six original ENIAC programmers. Bartik worked alongside Holberton on ENIAC programming and later computer projects.
ENIAC: ENIAC was an early general-purpose electronic digital computer built for the United States Army during World War II. Programming ENIAC established Holberton's reputation and began her career in computing.
Numerical weather prediction: Numerical weather prediction uses mathematical models and computation to forecast atmospheric conditions. Weather calculations were among the demanding problems ENIAC programmers learned to run.
World War II: World War II was a global conflict fought from 1939 to 1945. Wartime demand for rapid calculations led to the project where Holberton became a programmer.
Machine code: Machine code is a processor's directly executable instruction representation. Early computers required programs to be expressed in forms closely tied to their hardware.
Frances Spence: Frances Spence was an American computer programmer and one of the six original ENIAC programmers. Spence was another member of the small team that programmed ENIAC with Holberton.
UNIVAC I: UNIVAC I was the first commercially produced computer in the United States. Holberton worked on UNIVAC, carrying her experience beyond wartime computing.
Ballistic trajectory: A ballistic trajectory is the curved path followed by a projectile under forces such as gravity and air resistance. ENIAC was built to calculate firing tables for artillery trajectories.
United States Army Ballistic Research Laboratory: The United States Army Ballistic Research Laboratory conducted research on weapons, ballistics, and military computing. The laboratory commissioned ENIAC and employed the team Holberton joined.
Subroutine: A subroutine is a reusable sequence of instructions that performs a defined task within a program. Reusable routines offered a way to avoid repeating common operations in early programs.
