  • Plankalkul

    Created by Konrade Zuse, was made for engineering purposes only.
  • Fortran

    was created by John Backus, was made for IBM to have a better assembly language for their IBM 704 mainframe computer.

    created by Clarles Katz to replace the Fortran
  • LISP

    created by John McCarthy for practical mathematical notation for computer programs
  • COBOL

    created by Grace Hopper for business and financing purposes. An acronym for COmmon, Business, Oriented, Launguage.
  • RPG

    created by IBM as a tool to replicate punched card processing on the IBM 1401

  • B

    created by Ken Thomsan for the BCPL system
  • Pascal

    created by Niklaus Wirth as a small and efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring.
  • C (C++, Java, C#, Etc...)

    created by Dennis Ritchie and is a compiler language that is used in many of other languages that are to follow it
  • ML

    created by Robin Milner as a general purpose functional programming language
  • SQL

    created by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce at IBM as a special-purpose programming language designed for managing data held in a relational database management system (RDBMS).
  • Python

    created by Guido van Rossum as a program that allows coders to express more data on fewer lines of code
  • Visual Basic

    created by Alan Cooper as an updated version of Basic
  • Java

    created by James Gosling, Mike Sheridan, and Patrick Naughton as a code that can run on any plaform without being compiled in order to run on the new platform
