Early Programming: Crash Course Computer Science #10
Since Joseph Marie Jacquard's textile loom in 1801, there has been a demonstrated need to give our machines instructions. In the last few episodes, our instructions were already in our computer...

Hi, I'm Carrie Anne and welcome to Crash Course Computer Science. Over the last few episodes, We've talked a lot about the mechanics of how computers work. How they use complex circuits to save and retrieve values from memory, and perform operations on those values, like adding two numbers together. We've even briefly talked about sequences of operations, which is a computer program. What we haven't talked about is how a program gets into a computer. You might remember in episode 7 and 8 , when we stepped through some simple example programs for the CPU that we had created. For simplicity, we just waved our hands and said that the program was already magically in memory. But in reality, programs have to be loaded into a computer'...
