  • PLANKALKUL

    PLANKALKUL (Plan Calculus) was designed by Konrad Zuse for engineering purpose.

  • FORTRAN

    FORTRAN was developed by a team of programmers at IBM led by John Backus. The name FORTRAN is an acronym for FORmula TRANslation, because it was designed to allow easy translation of math formulas into code.

  • MATH-MATIC

    MATH-MATIC was intended as an improvement over FORTRAN. Created by a group led by Charles Katz.

  • LISP

    Lisp (List Processing) was originally created by by John McCarthy as a practical mathematical notation for computer programs,

  • RPG

    RPG , aka Report Program Generator, was developed by IBM to replicate punched card processing on the IBM 1401.

  • COBOL

    Cobol was developed by a group of computer professionals called the Conference on Data Systems Languages (CODASYL). Its name is an acronym for COmmon Business-Oriented Language, defining its primary domain in business, finance, and administrative systems for companies and governments.

  • BASIC

    Also known as BasicLanguage -- Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. I was developed by John George Kemeny and Thomas Eugene Kurtz at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire to provide computer access to non-science students.

  • Logo

    Logo was originally conceived and written by Wally Feurzeig and Seymour Papert as a functional programming language.

  • B

    Designed by D. M. Ritchie and K. L. Thompson, for primarily non-numeric applications such as system programming. The name B was derived from BCPL, first letter in acronym.

  • PASCAL

    Pascal (PascalLanguage, after BlaisePascal) was designed by Niklaus Wirth to create an efficient language based on so-called structured programming.

  • ML

    ML (Meta Language) was created by Robin Milner and others at the University of Edinburgh to develop proof tactics in the LCF theorem prover.

  • SQL

    SQL (Structured Query Language) was designed by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce to manage data in relational database management systems (RDBMS).

  • ADA

    Developed by Dr. Jean Ichbiah at CII-Honeywell-Bull in France. The name “Ada” is not an acronym; it was chosen in honor of Augusta Ada Lovelace. Ada is an appropriate tool for addressing the real issues facing software developers today, Ada is used throughout a number of major industries to design software that protects businesses and lives.

  • C++

    C++ (CeePlusPlus) was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup as a replacement for the C language.

  • Python

    Python ((PythonLanguage, from MontyPython) was desigend by Guido van Rossum to supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative and functional programming styles

  • VISUAL BASIC

    VISUAL BASIC was developed by Microsoft to to be relatively easy to learn and use.

  • JAVASCRIPT

    JavaScript (Nee LiveScript) was originally implemented as part of web browsers so that client-side scripts may interact with the user, control the browser, communicate asynchronously and alter the document content that is displayed. It was developed by Netscape.

  • Delphi

    Created by Borland Software Corporation, Delphi's purpose was to provide database connectivity to programmers as a key feature and a popular database package at the time was Oracle database.

  • Java

    It was developed by James Gosling and Sun Microsystems because they believed that the next wave in computing was the union of digital consumer devices and computers
