I had always heard that "Ada Byron is commonly considered the first
programmer". But I had never really heard a good rationale for this.
There's a great page/online book on the history of computing at
http://www.warbaby.com/FG_test/comp_history.html , which has a couple of
very enlightening paragraphs on the subject.
