By MrOnyx
  • Plankalkül

    Plankalkül is a computer language designed for engineering purposes by Konrad Zuse.Plankalkül is the German pronunciation for "Plan Calculus"
  • Fortran

    Fortran is a programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing. It was originally developed by IBM. Its name stands for (For)mula (Tran)slating System.
  • MATH-MATIC

    It is a early programming language for UNIVAC I and UNIVAC II. . It was designed and created by a group led by Charles Katz in 1957.MATH-MATIC is the marketing name for the AT-3 compiler.
  • Lisp

    Designed by John McCarthy. Made to be a practical mathematical notation for computer programs and is the favored language for AI. Stands for (Lis)t (P)rocessing.
  • COBOL

    Created by Grace Hopper.Stands for (Co)mmon (B)usiness (O)riented (L)anguage, and is used in business, finance, and administrative systems.
  • RPG

    Made by IBM. Name stands for (R)eport (P)rogram (G)enerator and it was made for punched card machines.
  • BASIC

    Created by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz. BASIC is a family of general-purpose, High-level programming languages.Stands for (B)eginners (A)ll Purpose (S)ymbolic (I)ntruction (C)ode.
  • LOGO

    created by Daniel G. Bobrow used for functional programming. Its name comes from the greek word logos which means word. It was made more for constructivist teaching.
  • B

    Creadted by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs. Was designed for non-numeric, machine independent applications. ts name may be an abbreviation of BCPL, the language it was derived from.
  • Pascal

    Created by Niklaus Wirth. Pascal is an influential imperative and procedural programming language, as a small and efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring.
  • C

    created by Dennis Ritchie at the Bell Telephone Laboratories. It is a general-purpose computer programming language developed for use with the Unix operating system. It is also widely used for developing portable application software.
  • ML

    Created by by Robin Milner. It is a general-purpose functional programming language and developed proof tactics in the LCF theorem prover. ML stands for metalanguage.
  • SQL

    Created by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce at IBM. Stands for (S)tructured (Q)uery (L)anguage. It is a special-purpose programming language designed for managing data in relational database management systems.
  • ADA

    Created by Jean Ichbiah for the DoD (Department of Defence) to cut down on the number of programming languages then in use by the DoD. It is named after Ada Lovelace, the person who is widely credited as being the first computer programmer.
  • C++

    Developed by Bjarne Stroustrup. C++ comprises a combination of both high-level and low-level language features and it adds object oriented features, such as classes. Originally named C with Classes, the language was renamed C++.
  • Visual Basic

    Created by Microsoft for its COM programming model. It is considered a relatively easy to learn and use programming language, because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage.
  • Python

    Created by by Guido van Rossum. Python is a general-purpose, high-level programming language. The creator named it after Monty Python because he was a fan.
  • Java

    Developed by James Gosling. Java is a computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It was first called Oak, then Green, then it was named Java after the Coffee.
  • PHP

    Created by Rasmus Lerdorf, PHP is a server-side scripting language designed for web development but also used as a general-purpose programming language. PHP used to stand for (P)ersonal (H)ome (P)age.
  • Javascript

    Created by Brendan Eich. JavaScript is a dynamic computer programming language. It is most commonly used as part of web browsers, whose implementations allow client-side scripts to interact with the user, control the browser, communicate asynchronously, and alter the document content that is displayed.
  • Delphi

    Created by Borland as a rapid application development tool for Windows.
