Date of Birth: January 31, 1956

Date of Death: Still Alive

Major academic events:

·         Received his master’s degree in mathematics and computer science from the University of Amsterdam in 1982

·         Received a bronze medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad

Contributions to Computer Science:

After graduating from the University of Amsterdam, Van Rossum found work at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informacia, where he contributed a glob() routine to BSD Unix. More importantly, he helped to develop ABC, a general purpose programming language. He also created a web browser known as Grail. In December of 1989, Van Rossum set his mind towards creating a script interpreter for a new programming language he intended to build. Using a descendant form of the ABC language, he programmed the first iteration of the language Python and made it available on GitHub as open-source software. He would continue to develop Python during most of his tenure working at Google. Eventually, he developed Mondrian, a web-based code review system for Python. After finishing his work at Google, he worked with the Python community until officially finding a new job at Microsoft, where he works to this day. Python in now within the top ten most-used coding languages, even taking the #1 spot in October of 2021. Python is considered a simple, open source, and easy to learn program behind many modern websites and applications.

Contributions to Computer Science:

Hopper was originally commissioned into the Navy in December of 1940. During WWII in 1943, she was assigned to the Mark I Computer programming staff. She also co-authored three papers on the MK I, one of the earliest practical. After the war, she became an employee of the Eckert–Mauchly Computer Corporation, where she joined the team developing the UNIVAC I. During her tenure at the corporation, she created a cutting-edge software known as the compiler. This was the precursor to modern text-based languages. Her compiler could receive inputs in plain English instead of symbol code. After the A-3 and B-0 computers were created under her leadership, she attended the two-day computer conference known as CODASYL. It was here that she advised a committee that defined the computing language COBOL, a revolutionary program that would form the base of most modern computer languages. The COBOL language extended Hopper’s earlier work and was later standardized by the U.S. Navy. Hopper also advocated for the Department of Defense to replace centralized computers with computer networks, created standards for the testing of computer systems and components, and helped to converge different commercial coding languages into similar variants. COBOL is still used today.

Gladys West born October 27th of 1930 is an often overlooked figure of the 1960s space race and even her coinciding achievements go under represented. She's a prolific worker from her time at NASA helping in the study of astronomy and having a hand in the creation and early usage of the GPS but having gone unrecognized originally. Later in her life she began to be recognized for her massive contributions having a book entitled "Hidden Figures" written about the work of her and her fellow hidden colleagues at NASA and later that book was adapted into a movie released in 2016. 2 years later she was inducted into the USA's Air Force Hall of Fame which cemented her as an important individual in the computer science world after so many years.

That face is Tim Berners-Lee born on June 8th 1955 he's a Pioneer in the world of computer science. His crowning achievement? He's credited as the creator of the World Wide Web The original HTML web browser and editor. Berners-Lee a highly accredited web developer having been knighted by the late Queen in 2004, inducted into the Fellow of the Royal Society and, also wining The ACM Turing Award back in 2016 alongside many other accolades for his world shaking invention.

June 23, 1937, Philip Don Estridge was born into America, then attended a University in Florida at age 31, and would later contribute to the country's development of computing 10 years later. 1979, he would become the lead manager in the development of the mini-computer, which later promoted him to a higher position where he would create the (IDM) personal computer. In a tragic outcome, Philip, along with his wife, would be one of the several victims involved in the crash of Delta Air Lines Flight 191. Philip Don Estridge passed on with the achievement of selling over a million PCs by age 41, with the honors of 10,000 employees, being titled "father of the IBM PC", and a Technical Middle School named after him, Don Estridge High-Tech Middle School.

Kathleen Booth, born July 9th, 1922, was a British computer Scientist who contributed to the early works of assembly language with her PhD in Mathematics. Her work was based on a planning-program style in which she would write about the workings of the APE(X)C and ARC systems, the programming and concept. In later life, she would further teach her findings, hosting a programming course and becoming a Research Fellow before her passing at age 100 on September 29th, 2022.
