During in 1840-1843, Ada Lovelace translated the memoir of Italian mathematician Luigi Menabrea about Charles Babbage's newest proposed machine, the Analytical Engine. It appears she appended a set of notes which specified in complete detail a method for calculating Bernoulli numbers with the Analytical Engine (Babbages machine) , recognised by mNY historians as the world's first computer program.

However, The first programming languages designed to communicate instructions to a computer as we know today were written in the early 1950s. An high-level programming language was designed for a computer by Plankalkul, it was developed for the German Z3 by Konrad Zuse circa 1943 . However, it was not implemented until 1998 and 2000 as far as we are aware.

There are record which state that the UNIVAC SHORT CODE, was the first programming language actually used on a computer it appears to pre-dated that of Zuse's conceptual Plankalkul. It was called a pseudocode interpreter for mathematical problems which was proposed in 1949 and ran on the UNIVAC I and II. Both of these are computers created by Mauchly. It was Mauchly's belief in the importance of languages led him to hire Grace Murray Hopper to develop a compiler for the UNIVAC.
