Last week we talked about the history of women in computer programming starting with Ada Lovelace in the 1840s, and moving on to Grace Hopper and The ENIAC Girls around WWII.

Happy Friday, GLAD WORKS friends!  It's been a scorching hot week this week, so to cool you off a bit, we bring you COOL STUFF! Enjoy!

Brittany: I dare you not to cry or get the chills when you read this. Your faith in humanity will be restored. Not all people suck. Who knew?

Last week Apple announced that it would be terminating its agreement to use Google Maps as the default location service for iOS. Instead, Apple is developing its own in-house application that will become standard starting this fall.

Why the change?  The mobile location service arena is the new battleground front...and it's about to get messy.

When we think about computer programmers, lots of times we picture men doing the job, but that stereotype is not so true, and today, we’re going to turn that whole idea on its ear.

It’s time the ladies took the spotlight here because women have a long, often overlooked history in computer programming. So, today we’re going to talk about that a little bit, but we’re going to paint this picture with some really broad strokes since this is a very big topic. We couldn’t hope to do it justice in a tiny blog post, so let’s do some highlights!

Ada Lovelace

Andre: This is a really fun site.  You can upload an image and it provides you with lots of funny templates to put the image in.  It's not really photoshop, but that's the idea.  

Brittany: The hottest color for lab coats this summer is...WHITE!  Go check out OMGScience! for some good, clean, nerdy fun!
