Adele Goldberg
Without Adele Goldberg, the Apple desktop environment might look very different today. While working at Xero Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), Adele was the only woman in the group that built Smalltalk-80, one of the most popular and influential early programming languages. She also presented Smalltalk to Steve Jobs, who implemented many of these concepts into Apple’s first products. Beyond Apple, many modern Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) have design standards that trace directly back to Goldberg’s original work.
what about Wendy Hall (Microcosm)? Brenda Laurel (Art of Human-Computer Interface Design)? Sophie Wilson (ARM Instruction Set)
Sophie Wilson was born Robert Wilson…a transwoman who started a career as a man should not take a space or attention away from a woman who was born female and socialized and raised female.
As a matter of fact, I am making a website for a webdev college course highlighting contributions of ALL WOMEN past, present and future and I have been looking for transwomen to feature on my site. I appreciate your bigotry because it just lead me to someone I can add. 🙂
i love you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!………
I agree. A trans woman who grew up socialized as a MALE did not suffer the setbacks of a society putting him in “his place.” His contributions were already being recognized before he became a female. To equate his “struggle” for recognition and acceptance is to compare apples to oranges.
To grow up socialized as a female effectively EXCLUDES one from all STEM-related expectations, and further INHIBITS, if not downright IMPEDES her being taken seriously in male-dominated fields. I know it because I lived it! He never did.
beautiful women!!!! i love all of them
False. The current climate of women in the tech industry is all-inclusive and we welcome transwomen. There is no place for discrimination in a field dedicated to advancement both in technology and social justice. Take a seat.
Roberta Williams made a big contribution to the computer games industry with King’s Quest, IMO.
what about Margeret Hamilton, who wrote most of the software for the 1969 apollo lunar landing, and invented the job title ‘software engineer’ which is still used today.
i had to do a powerpoint about her and i dont think this is very cash money. i just want death
The ladies who programmed the ENIAC didn’t use any programming languages with text editors and compilers. They were reportedly given blueprints of the machine and told to program it.
