Grace Hopper , Amazing Grace of computer history, gets Google Doodle

Grace Hopper, known as "the first lady of software," is celebrated for her computer genius, with a Google Doodle on what would have been her 107th birthday.

The doodle would have been deeply appreciated by Grace Murray Hopper. She rose through the naval ranks to achieve the title of rear admiral. She was a pioneering Navy computer programmer who coined the term "bug" to describe computer woes.

When she retired in 1986, she was the nation's oldest active-duty military officer. She died Jan. 1, 1992, at age 85.

Hopper, who was nicknamed Amazing Grace, was co-inventor of the business-oriented programming language COBOL and was so key to the Navy's computer work that she stayed in uniform under year-to-year extensions long after the regular retirement age of 62 to work on the Navy's computer programs, according to a Los Angeles Times obituary.
