Computer scientists hacked an electronic voting machine and stole votes using a malicious programming approach that had not been invented when the voting machine was designed. The scientists ...

But after analyzing tens of thousands of lines of programming code purportedly used to make this electronic voting system work, three researchers from the Information Security Institute at Johns ...

One story that stands out is that of Jean Jennings Bartik. She was not only one of the first women to program the first electronic computer — the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) — ...

Programming in the large is something embedded programmers should be familiar with, as projects often last months or years and include a number of developers.

In this excerpt from "The Computer Boys Take Over," historian Nathan Ensmenger explains that the first computer programmers were women because managers expected programming to be low-skill clerical ...

And this style of plug board programming wasn't unique to electromechanical computers. The world's first General-Purpose electronic computer, the Eniac, completed in 1946, used a ton of them.

The Weizmann Institute of Science today put into use a new electronic computer having a great speed and accuracy. Basing the new machine, nicknamed the “Golem,” on the Illinois Computer which ...

While early women programming pioneers Ada Lovelace and Grace Hopper have taken their place in the annals of computer history, Kleiman shows us that there were other women programmers — like the ...

This time we look at your ability to recognize these graphical programming languages. You can send press releases for new products for possible coverage on the website. I am also interested in ...

The Innovators, Walter Isaacson's new book, tells the stories of the people who created modern computers. Women, who are now a minority in computer science, played an outsize role in that history.
