-
Plankalkul
It ws designed by Konrad Zuse. It was designed for engineering purposes. It was the first high-level non-von Neumann programming language to be designed for a computer. Also, notes survive with scribblings about such a plan calculation dating back to 1941. In translation from German it means "Plan Calculus". -
FORTRAN
designed by John Backus in 1956, originally designed for scientific and engineering applications, stands for FORmula TRANslator. -
MATH-MATIC
Created by a group led by Charles Katz. It was later refined by Grace Hopper. Early programming language for UNIVAC I and UNIVAC II. Intended as an improvement over FORTRAN. -
Lisp
It was developed by Steve Russell, Timothy P. Hart, and Mike Levin. Originally created as a practical mathematical notation for computer programs, influenced by the notation of Alonzo Church's lambda calculus. It stands for Locator/Identifier Separation Protocol. -
COBOL
Early programming language for UNIVAC I and UNIVAC II. Intended as an improvement over FORTRAN. Inspired by the FLOW-MATIC language. Acronym for COmmon Business-Oriented Language, -
RPG
It was developed by IBM. Its is a tool to replicate punched card processing on the IBM 1401[2] then updated to RPG II for the IBM System/3 in the late 1960s, and since evolved into an HLL equivalent to COBOL and PL/I..It stands for Report Program Generator. -
BASIC
Developed by John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz in 1964 at Dartmouth College BASiC is an acronym for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instrucction CodeIt was designed to make the language easy for beginners but with advanced features for the experts. -
LOGO
It was developed by Wally Feurzeig and Seymour Papert. It was used as an Educational Programming learning software.Derived from the Greek logos meaning word or "thought". -
B
It was developed by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie. Based on BCPL system stripped of non-essential components. Contraction of BCPL or Bon. -
PASCAL
Developed in 1971 by Niklaus Wirth a member of the International Federation of Information Processing Named after mathematician Blaise PascalThe primary purpose was to "allow for the development of well structured and well organized programs, and to serve as a vehicle for the teaching of the important concepts of computer programming" . -
C
It was developed by Dennis Ritchie and Bell Labs. It was designed to be compiled using a relatively straightforward compiler, to provide low-level access to memory, to provide language constructs that map efficiently to machine instructions, and to require minimal run-time support. It was named C becauseits features were derived from "B". -
ML
It was developed by Robin Milner & others at the University of Edinburgh. It is known for its use of the Hindley–Milner type inference algorithm, which can automatically infer the types of most expressions without requiring explicit type annotations. ML stands for metalanguage: -
SQL
It was developed by John Chamberlin of IBM in 1974SQL is an acronym for Structured Query LanguageIt was developed to be an easy program to manage data. -
ADA
Developed by Jean Ichbiah and Tucker Taft. Used in the development of long-lived applications where reliability and efficiency are the most important aspects. It stands for Automatic Data Acquisition. -
C++
It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup . To work with other programs. Object Oriented program (Application Development). C with Classes to C++ (++ being the increment operator in C). -
Delphi
It was developed by Apple, Niklaus Wirth and Anders Hejlsberg. It is used for application development. Its name comes from Embarcadero Delphi. -
Python
It was developed by the Python software foundation. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than would be possible in languages such as C. The language provides constructs intended to enable clear programs on both a small and large scale. Python actually got is name from a BBC comedy series from the seventies "Monty Python's Flying Circus". The designer needed a name that was short, unique, and slightly myst -
Java
It was developed by the Oracle Corporation . Its purpose is to to create programs. Its name comes from Java coffee; said to be consumed in large quantities by the language's creators. -
PHP
It was developed by the PHP Group. It is a server-side scripting language designed for web development but also used as a general-purpose programming language. It originally stood for Personal Home Page. Now it stands for Hypertext Preprocessor, a recursive backronym. -
Javascript
It was developed by Netscape Communications Corporation, Mozilla Foundation. It is used for webpage Development and applications. The name comes from Netscape adding support of java technology to their web browser -
VISUAL BASIC
It was developed by MicrosoftVISUAL BASIC is not an acronym but came from it's predecessor BASICIt was developed for Windows computers to make it easier to write programs for it's operating systems.
