Admiral 'Amazing Grace' Hopper

Today, I'll be talking about the amazing Grace Murray Hopper! One of the first programmers of the Mark I, developer of the first compiler, and grandmother of COBOL, Grace made huge strides as a pioneering woman in male-dominated computing fields!

Just recently I watched few of her lectures, and they're both educational and funny. I love this woman.

Great video I'm sending this to my brother he's a teacher. He will use this for women's month, I was a cobol programmer and remembered her. Thanks for video 🏆.

This is exactly what I needed to help me understand Grace Hopper! You helped me out a lot with an essay I am writing. Entertaining too! This video is underappreciated.

Hey. Thank you very much for your video. It is very well done. The animations, photos, and your cadence are perfect. I'm a science teacher and I've been showing your video to all my classes. Great job. Thanks.

Thank you for making this I am doing a sideshow on Inventors and chose Grace and this is helping me lots thank you!

...And she knew Greek and Latin (which she found to be a great deal more difficult than mathematics and computer science).

Yes! Grace Hopper invented the first compiler! She also coined the term "debugging". People attribute her to building the first computer but that is reserved to Charles Babbage. They also mistakenly attribute the first program to her but that goes to another lady, Babbage's partner, Ada Lovelace. I hate it when people false attribute the first computer and language to her because it erases the achievements of so many others, some of them also women.

I like your video and would like to use it in school. Would you allow me to add German subtitles?

First modern admiral to have never commanded a ship at sea. That was a big deal in the Navy at the time.
