Early Programming: Crash Course Computer Science #10

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Since Joseph Marie Jacquard-s textile loom in 1801, there has been a demonstrated need to give our machines instructions. In the last few episodes, our instructions were already in our computer-s memory, but we need to talk about how they got there - this is the heart of programming. Today, we-re going to look at the history of programming and the innovations that brought us from punch cards and punch paper tape to plugboards and consoles of switches. These technologies will bring us to the mid 1970s and the start of home computing, but they had limitations, and what was really needed was an easier and more accessible way to write programs - programming languages. Which we-ll get to next week

I just never figured out, how did they create alphabetical characters on a computer,
like, i type something on the screen, it gets translated down to 1's and 0's, but how was the computer even taught to understand the symbol 1 and symbol 0, let alone all the other symbols a-z, etc.

This is by far the absolute best video series I have ever seen. I am studying computer science for 5 semesters now, but this seriously helped me to understand and organize all the stuff I learnes. Thanks a lot, you made a young german student happy: D

Low-key feel good I survived the first 10 episodes. They felt more like Eletrical/Computer Engineering rather than Computer Science(nothing wrong with that. Hopefully this begins to make a lot more sense.

very informative, and helpful, however can you speak a little slow, as sometime it seems pretty very hard to catch up with what you are saying and understand new technological discoveries at the same time. thanks

Everything seemed tedious 100 years ago, not just computing, but doing laundry, heating up food, traveling thousands of miles, taking photographs. Sheesh. We're definitely spoiled -
