Computer Terms and History

  • Plankalkul

    A programming language designed for engineering purposes by Konrad Zuse.
  • Fortran

    A general-purpose, compiled imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing.
  • MATH-MATIC

    It is similar to Univac's contemporaneous business-oriented language, FLOW-MATIC, differing in providing algebraic-style expressions and floating-point arithmetic, and arrays rather than record structures.
  • Lisp

    A acronym for list processing, is a programming language that was designed for easy manipulation of data strings. Developed in by John McCarthy
  • RPG

    Is a high-level programming language (HLL) for business applications
  • LOGO

    Logo is widely known for its use of turtle graphics, in which commands for movement and drawing produced line graphics either on screen or with a small robot called a turtle.
  • B

    It is the work of Ken Thompson with Dennis Ritchie. B was derived from BCPL, and its name may be a contraction of BCPL
  • C

    High-level and general-purpose programming language that is ideal for developing firmware or portable applications.
  • Pascal

    It is a procedural programming language that supports structured programming and data structures to encourage good programming practices. Pascal was originally developed by Niklaus Wirth and is named after the famous French mathematician Blaise Pascal.
  • BASIC

    One of the BASIC implementations used by the small and simple home computers.
  • Python

    It is a general purpose programming language. Hence, you can use the programming language for developing both desktop and web applications.
  • Visual Basic

    Is a third-generation event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model.
  • PHP

    It is a general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited to server-side web development, in which case PHP generally runs on a web server.
  • Java

    Java can be used to create complete applications that may run on a single computer or be distributed among servers and clients in a network.
  • Javascript

    It was most commonly used as a client side scripting language
  • ML

    ML is a procedural computer programming language with extremely strong support for higher-order functions and abstraction.
  • COBOL

    Compiled English-like computer programming language designed for business use
  • ADA

    Ada is a structured, statically typed, imperative, and object-oriented high-level computer programming language, extended from Pascal and other language.
  • Delphi

    Delphi is an integrated development environment (IDE) for rapid application development of desktop, mobile, web, and console software, developed by Embarcadero Technologies. It is also an event-driven language.
  • SQL

    It is used to communicate with a database.
  • C++

    It has imperative, object-oriented and generic programming features, while also providing facilities for low-level memory manipulation.
