Joseph Marie Jacquard (1752-1834) was a French weaver and inventor. In the early 1800s he invented a loom that wove complex patterns automatically by reading a chain of punched cards.

Using the presence or absence of holes to control a machine later influenced Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine and punched-card calculating machines, so his loom is seen as a distant origin of computer programming.
