  • Period: to

    Years.

    Months and days are not exact.
  • Math-Matic

    (Month and day aren't exact) Created by a group led by Charles Katz. It's intended as an improvement over FORTRAN.
  • Fortran

    (Month and dat aren't exact) Fortran was designed by John Backus at IBM in 1957. It's suited to numeric computation and scientific computing.
  • COBOL

    (Date is not exact) COBOL stands for Common Business Oriented Language. Cam out in April of 1960 by the CODASYL Committee.It is designed for the needs of business, namely preforming simple fixed point arithmetic on large amounts of data.
  • BASIC

    Basic was invented by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz in 1963 at Dartmouth College. But was first ran on May 1st, 1964. It's quick and easy programming by students and beginners. Stands for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code.
  • Logo

    (Month and day are not exact) Logo was created between 1966-1968 by Wally Fuerzig and Seymour Papert, as well as others at Bolt, Beranek and Newman. It's intended to draw geometric shapes.
  • Pascal

    (Month and day are not exact) Pascal was created in 1968-1969 by Niklaus Wirth (a memeber of the International Ferderation of Information Processing). The language is effiecent to implement with and run, allow for the development of well structed and well organized programs.
  • C

    (Month and Date aren't exact) C was created in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs. Most widely used for software implementation.
  • SQL

    (Month and date are not exact) SQL stands for Structed Quesry Language. Came out in 1974 by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce. It's designed for managing data in Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMs), and orginally based upon relational algebra.
  • Ada

    (Month and Date are not exact) Ada was invented by Jean Ichbiah's team at CII Honeywell-Us Department of Defense. It has facilities for real-time respnse, consurrency, hardware access, and reliable run-time error handling. In support of large-scale software engineering, it emphasizes strong typing, data abstraction and encapsulation.
  • C++

    (Month and date aren't exact) C++ has 2 editions. The first was created in 1986 and the second was created in 1991. Both by Bjarne Stroustrup. It's object-oriented; and allows implicit type conversion, function inlining, overloading of operators and function names, default function arguments and pass by refrence.
  • Java

    (Month and day are not exact) Java was created in 1995 by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems. General-purpose, concurrent, class-based, object-oriented language that is specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. Intended to let application developers "Write once, run anywhere".
