Programming Languages Timeline

  • Plankalkul

    1) It was developed by Konrad Zuse.
    2) This programming language was designed for engineering purposes.
    3) Plankalkul means formal system for planning.
  • Fortran

    1) John Backus was the developer of Fortran.
    2) Fortran is a general-purpose, imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing.
  • MATH-MATIC

    1) It was deveolped by Charles Katz.
    2) It was a marketing name and a programming language for UNIVAC I and II.
  • Lisp

    1) John McCarthy was the developer for Lisp.
    2)Lisp has changed a great deal since its early days, and a number of dialects have existed over its history.
  • Lisp

    1)It was developed by John McCarthy
    2)Lisp was originally created as a practical mathematical notation for computer programs, but it quickly became the favored programming language for artificial intelligence.
  • COBOL

    1) Grace Hopper deveolped COBOL.
    2) COBOL is one of the oldest programming languages but it was mainly object-oriented programming.
    3) The acronym for this is COmmon Business-Oriented Language,.
  • RPG

    1) IBM is the developer.
    2) It is a high level programming language for business applications.
  • BASIC

    1) John George Kemeny and Thomas Eugene Kurtzwere the 2 to develop BASIC
    2) BASIC is a family of general-purpose, high-level programming languages whose design philosophy emphasizes ease of use.
    3) BASIC is an acronym for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code.
  • LOGO

    1) It was deveoloped by Daniel G. Bobrow, Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert and Cynthia Solomon.
    2) It's main purpose was to be a graphic oriented educational programming language.
    3)
  • B

    1) It was developed mainly by Ken Thompson.
    2) B was a general purpose programming language but it is now extinct, having been superseded by the C language.
  • PASCAL

    1) It was developed by Niklaus Wirth.
    2) It was a small and efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring.
  • C

    1) Dennis Ritchie was the person to develop C.
    2) C is also a general-purpose programming language.
  • ML

    1) It was developed by Robin Milner.
    2) t was conceived to develop proof tactics in the LCF theorem prover. It is also 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.
    3) Historically ML stands for metalanguage.
  • SQL

    1) The developers are Donald D. Chamberlin and
    Raymond F. Boyce.
    2) SQL is designed for managing data held in a relational database management system
    3) It stands for Structered Query Language.
  • ADA

    1) Jean Ichbiah led a team to develop ADA2) ADA was designed to be a general-purpose language for everything and to supersede the hundreds of other programming languages. ADA is used especially in real-time computerized control systems, ex) for aircraft navigation 3
  • C++

    1) Bjarne Stroustrup developed C++.
    2)C++ s a programming language that is general purpose, statically typed, free-form, multi-paradigm and compiled.
    3) C++ is prounounced "see plus plus."
  • Python

    1) It was developed by Guido van Rossum.
    2) Python's 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. It also is used as a scripting language.
  • Visual Basic

    1) It was developed by Microsoft.
    2) Visual Basic is the rapid application development (RAD) of graphical user interface (GUI) applications, access to databases using Data Access Objects, Remote Data Objects, or ActiveX Data Objects, and creation of ActiveX controls and objects.
  • Delphi

    1) Borland was the developer of Delphi.
    2) Delphi is a rapid application development tool for Windows.
  • Java

    1) James Gosling and Sun Microsystems were the developers of Java.
    2) Java is a general-purpose, concurrent, class-based, object-oriented computer programming language that is specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible.
  • Javascript

    1)Brendan Eich developed Javascript.
    2) Java has become has become common in server-side programming, game development and the creation of desktop applications.
  • PHP

    1) It was developed by Rasmus Lerdorf.
    2) It is is a server-side scripting language designed for web development but also used as a general-purpose programming language.
    3) PHP stands for Hypertext Preprocessor.
