  • Plankalkul

    designed and created by Konrad Zuse, its name is German for Plan Calculus, it was the first high-level not von Neumann programming language to be designed for a computer
  • Fortran

    IBM developed, for science and engineering applications, weather prediciton and data analysis
  • MATH-MATIC

    marketing name for AT-3 compiler, early programming language for UNIVAC, intended as Fortran improvement, led by Charles Katz
  • Lisp

    Lisp is the second-oldest high-level programming language in widespread use today, created for mathmatic notation Lisp pioneered many ideas in computer science, including tree data structures, automatic storage management, dynamic typing, conditionals, higher-order functions, recursion, and the self-hosting compiler
  • COBOL

    COmmon Business-Oriented Language, Grace Hopper a major contributor, COBOL is primarily used in business, finance, and administrative systems for companies and governments
  • RPG

  • BASIC

    Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code, John Kenemy and Thomas Kurtz, enable students in fields other than science and mathematics to use computers
  • LOGO

    Educational programming language, created by Daniel G. Bobrow, Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert and Cynthia Solomon,the name is not an acronym from greek word for thought
  • B

    Developed at Bell Labs, B was designed for recursive, non-numeric, machine independent applications, such as system and language software, created by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie.
  • PASCAL

    Niklaus Wirth, PASCAL is a small language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring.
  • SQL

    Donald Chamberlin and Raymon Boyce at IBM, special purpose programming language, created for data analysis, definition, and manipulation. SQL stands for Structured english Query Language
  • C

    Dennis Ritchie, C is one of the most widely used programming languages of all time, has facilities for structured programming and prevents unintended operatins
  • ML

    is a general-purpose functional programming language developed by Robin Milner and others in the early 1970s at the University of Edinburgh, ML stands for Meta Language,
  • ADA

    Object-Oriented, extended from Pascal, created to reduce number of languages US government used, named after Ada Lovelace the first programmer.
  • C++

    Bjarne Stroustup, is a general purpose programming language, designed for system programming, flexibility, and effiecincy
  • Python

    Guido van Rossum, widely used general purpose high-level programming language, its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in languages such as C
  • Java

    James Gosliing and Sun Microsystems, It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere", one of the most popular languages all time
  • Visual Basic

    Created by Microsoft, A programmer can create an application using the components provided by the Visual Basic program itself, makes it easy for users to create their own programs and applications
  • PHP

    Rasmus Lerdof, designed as a server side programming language, made for web development but used for general purpose as well
  • Delphi

    Developed by Borland, descended from Turbo Pascal
