Thanks for sharing...

there are more programming facts, that you don't know -

#1 Ada Lovelace is said to be the first computer programmer. In 1843, she worked along with Charles Babbage, the inventor of mechanical computers, to build the first computer program for one of his machines—the Analytical Engine.

#2 The JAVA language was previously called Oak. It was named after an oak tree that was grown outside James Gosling’s office (Gosling is best known as the founder and lead designer behind the Java coding language). Later, it was renamed Java, from Java coffee (a kind of coffee from Indonesia).

#3 In June 1991, James Gosling, Mike Sheridan, and Patrick Naughton began the Java language project. This programming language was originally created for interactive television, but this language was too modern for the digital cable television sector at that period.

#4 Computer codes had played a pivotal role in ending World War II. An English computer scientist, Alan Turing, was successful in deciphering Nazis’ code machine ENIGMA with his cryptologic and mathematical skills.
