Cobol Pins and Buttons
Description: A black background displays text related to the COBOL programming language. The largest text reads 'COBOL' in a bright cyan color. Below this, white text defines COBOL as an acronym for 'common business-oriented language'. The bottom section shows lines of COBOL code in red and green text, including 'IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.', 'PROGRAM-ID. HELLO.', 'PROCEDURE DIVISION.', 'DISPLAY 'Hello World'.', and 'STOP RUN.'.
Description: Grace Hopper was a computing genius, a scientist, a glass-ceiling breaker, a feminist, and an all-around badass. With Grace Hopper on your shirt or laptop, you will be imbued with her indomitable spirit and never write a bad line of code again. In the 1940s, Hopper found the first computer bug (which was an actual bug – a moth that got caught in a circuit relay). In the 1950s, she invented compiled programming languages, one of which was COBOL, and is still used today. She was on ‘60 Minutes’ and David Letterman. Her energy and innovations have shaped the future of programming and inspired a generation to think critically about the cost of their “nanoseconds".
Description: Rear Admiral Grace Hopper superimposed over a bit of classic COBOL code. Grace Hopper is an authentic computer science Rock Star. In the 1940s, Hopper found the first computer bug (which was an actual bug - a moth that got caught in a circuit relay). In the 1950s, she invented compiled programming languages, one of which was COBOL, and is still used today. She was on '60 Minutes' and David Letterman. Grace Hopper was one of the pioneers and leading architects of the modern computing era. Her energy and innovations have shaped the future of programming and inspired a generation to think critically about the cost of their "nanoseconds". Owing to the breadth of her accomplishments and her naval rank, the U.S. Navy destroyer USS Hopper (DDG-70)
