Plankalkul ( plan Calculus) and The Mathematical theory of communication
Konrad Zuse begins work on Plankalkül (Plan Calculus), the first algorithmic programming language, with the goal of creating the theoretical preconditions for the solution of general problems. American mathematician Claude Shannon writes The Mathematical Theory of Communication, laying the groundwork for understanding the theoretical limits of communication between people and machines https://cs.brown.edu/~adf/programming_languages.html -

Grace Hopper completes A-o and John Backus completes speed code
Mathematician Grace Hopper completes A-0, a program that allows a computer user to use English-like words instead of numbers to give the computer instructions.John Backus completes Speed code for IBM´s first large-scale scientific computer, the IBM 701. Although using Speed code demanded a significant amount of scarce memory https://cs.brown.edu/~adf/programming_languages.html -

Fortran and the SRI designs ERMA
An IBM team led by John Backus develops FORTRAN, a powerful scientific computing language that uses English-like statements. SRI International designs ERMA (Electronic Recording Machine, Accounting), for Bank of America. At the time, accounts were posted manually, a method that would quickly be outstripped by the growth in check writing after World War II -

Cobol ( Common Business-oriented languages) and Thomas kurtz and john kemeny create basic
A team drawn from several computer manufacturers and the Pentagon develop COBOL—an acronym for Common Business-Oriented Language. Many of its specifications borrow heavily from the earlier FLOW-MATIC language. Thomas Kurtz and John Kemeny create BASIC (Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code), an easy-to-learn programming language, for their students at Dartmouth College who had no prior programming experience https://edtechmagazine.com/higher/article/2013/04/brief-history-co -

SEymour Papert designs LOGO and the " Go TO considered harmful" letter is published
Seymour Papert designs LOGO as a computer language for children. Initially a drawing program, LOGO controlled the actions of a mechanical "turtle," which traced its path with pen on paper. Electronic turtles made their designs on a video display monitor. Edsger Dijkstra´s "GO TO considered harmful" letter is published in Communications of the ACM, fires the first salvo in the structured programming wars -

The RS-232-C standard is adopted and the verilog is created
The RS-232-C standard for communications is adopted by the Electronic Industries Association. The standard permits computers and peripheral devices to transmit information serially.Phil Moorby and Prabhu Goel of Gateway Design Automation create Verilog, a hardware description language that is used in the design of digital circuitry. Initially designed for Gateway’s Verilog XL Design Logic Simulator, it was a vast improvement over methods being used by circuit designers at the time. -
