Programming Languages Timeline

  • Plankalkül

    Plankalkül
    Developed by Konrad Zuse, it was the first high-level programming language designed for engineering purposes.
  • Fortran

    Fortran
    Originally developed by IBM for scientific and engineering applications, it is a general purpose, imperitive programming language suited to numeric computation and scientific computing.
  • MATH-MATIC

    MATH-MATIC
    Developed by Charles Katz in 1957, it was an early computer programming language for the UNIVAC I and UNIVAC II. It was intended to be an improvement to Fortran.
  • Lisp

    Lisp
    Invented by John McCarthy in 1958 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, it is a famly of computer programming languages.
  • RPG

    RPG
    Developed by IBM, it is a high-level programming language for buisness applications.
  • COBOL

    COBOL
    Designed by Grace Hopper, it's primary purpose was for business, finance, and administrative systems for companies and governments.
  • BASIC

    BASIC
    Designed by John George Kemeny and Thomas Eugene Kurtz at Dartmouth College. It is a family of general purpose, high-level programming languages originally created to provid computer access to non-science students.
  • LOGO

    LOGO
    Invented by Daniel G. Bobrow, Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert and Cynthia Solomon. It is a multi-paradigm computer programming language used in education. It is an adaptation and dialect of Lisp.
  • Pascal

    Pascal
    Designed by Niklaus Wirth, it is an influential imperitive and procedural programming language. It was intended to encourage good practices using a structured programming and data structuring.
  • C Language

    C Language
    Developed by Dennis Ritcher at AT&T Bell Labs is a general purpose programming language that superseded the B Language.
  • ML Language

    ML Language
    A general-purpose functional programming language developed by Robin Milner & others at the University of Edinburgh. It was created to develop proof tactics in the LCF theorem prover.
  • SQL Language

    SQL Language
    Developed by ISO. It is a special purpose programming language designed for managing data in relational database management systems.
  • ADA Language

    ADA Language
    It is a structured, statically typed, imperative, wide-spectrum, and object-oriented high-level computer programming language, extended from Pascal and other languages. Designed by Jean Ichbiah of CII Honeywell Bull. It is named after Ada Lovelace, a person credited as being the first computer programmer.
  • C++ Language

    C++ Language
    Is a statically typed, free form, multi paradigm, compiled, general purpose programming language created by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs. It is a combination of high-level and low-level language features. It is an enchancement to the C Language.
  • Python Language

    Python Language
    A general purpose, high-level programming language whose design philosophy emphasizes code readability. It was developed by Python Software Foundation.
  • Visual Basic

    Visual Basic
    Is a third-generation event driven programming language and intergrated development enviornment. Developed by Microsoft in 1991, it was first created for it's COM programming model.
  • Java Script Language

    Java Script Language
    Originaly developed by Netscape Communications Corporation, it is an open source client-side scripting language commonly implemented as part of a web browser to create enchanced user interface and dynamic websites.
  • Delphi Language

    Delphi Language
    Developed by Borland, it was a descendant of Turbo Pascal. It is native code compiler that ran under Window v 3.1 and Windows '95. It is similarly Object Pascal with similar tools found in Microsoft Visual Basic 3.0.
  • Java Language

    Java Language
    Is a general purpose, concurrent, class-based, object-oriented computer programming language developed by James Gosling and Sun Microsystems. It was designed to have as few implementation dependents as possible.
  • PHP Language

    PHP Language
    Is an open source server-side scripting language developed by Rasmus Lerdorf. It was designed for web development.
