    ALGOL's Invention
    This is the time when the 2nd generation computer's language, called ALGOL was invented. It was very good introductions for the 2nd generation computer's language.
  • Invention of 2nd generation computers

    Invention of 2nd generation computers
    Many 2nd computers were used in 1960s. These computers used transistors. It was very useful. The computers were from many different companies, like IBM, Honeywell, Control Data and other.
  • Development of CPL

    Development of CPL
    This is the time when people showed the development of CPL ( combined programming language ). But, it had some difficulties, so later people decided to simplify it.
  • Period: to
