Computer programming languages

  • Plankalkul

    Means Plan Calculus in German. Was designed for engineering by Konrad Zuse in 1943.
  • Basic ( Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code)

    In 1964, John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz designed the original BASIC language at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire.Basic code is a family of general-purpose, high-level programming languages whose design philosophy emphasizes ease of use.
  • Fortran

    Developed by IBM in 1950 for scientific and engineer application.
  • MATH-MATIC

    Developed by Grace Hopper in 1957 intended to be a improvement over FORTRAN.
  • Lisp

    stands for Locator/Identifier Separation Protocol. Created in 1958 by John Mcarthy. Lisp was originally created as a practical mathematical notation for computer programs
  • COBOL

    Designed in 1959 for buisness purposes. Was developed by Grace Hopper! COBOL stands for Common Business-Oriented Language.
  • RPG

    RPG, Report Program Generator, is a high-level database access and text generation language invented for mainframe MIS environments. Developed by IBM in 1965.
  • Logo

    Created in 1967 by Daniel G. Bobrow to teach concepts of programming related to LISP
  • PASCAL

    developed in 1968 by Niklaus Wirth as a small and efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring.Pascal was named in honor of the French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal
  • B

    Was developed at Bell Labs circa 1969. Derived from BCPL. Created by Ken Thomas and Dennis Ritchie. B was designed for recursive, non-numeric, machine independent applications, such as system and language software.
  • C

    Developed by Dennis Ritchie in 1969. Its design provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions.
  • ML

    Developed by Robin Milner in 1970 as a general purpose programming language. Stands for Meta language.
  • SQL

    SQL (Structured Query Language) designed for managing data. Ceated in 1974 by Donald D. Chamberlin.
  • Python

    Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in languages such as C. Created in the 1980's and developed by Guido van Rossum.
  • ADA

    This computer programming language was named after Lady Ada Byron! who was considered to be the first computer programmer. Ada was first designed by a team created by Jean Ichibiah. Was created in 1983 I believe. The purpose of this program was to to supersede the hundreds of programming languages then used by the DoD.
  • JAVA

    Created to "write once and run anywhere." Most popular language in 2014. Was developed by James Gosling 1991. released in 1995.
  • Visual Basic

    released in 1991 and was released for windows. Derives from basic, Created by Alan Cooper.
  • PHP

    Originally created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994, for web developement. Stood for personal homepage.
  • Delphi

    Delphi was created by Borland for windows. Developed in 1995
  • Javascript

    The purpose of this programming language is to allow client-side scripts to interact with the user, control the browser, communicate asynchronously, and alter the document content that is displayed. Was developed by Brendan Eich in 1995.
  • C++

    This language was created in 1998! It is a computer programming language that is supposed to be general purpose.Was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup. was created for "efficient flexible language (like C) that also provided high level features for program organization" Or basically to make programming easier.
