Programming timeline

  • Plankalkul

    a programming language designed for engineering purposes by Konrad Zuse between 1943 and 1945.
  • Fortran

    Fortran (previously FORTRAN, derived from Formula Translating System) is a general-purpose, imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing. Originally developed by IBM
  • MATH-MATIC

    MATH-MATIC is the marketing name for the AT-3 compiler, an early programming language for the UNIVAC I and UNIVAC II. Intended as an improvement over FORTRAN. Created by a group led by Charles Katz in 1957.
  • Lisp

    family of computer programming languages with a long history and a distinctive, fully parenthesized Polish prefix notation
    Lisp was originally created as a practical mathematical notation for computer programs
  • COBOL

    acronym for common business-oriented language
    s a compiled English-like computer programming language designed for business use.
    designed in 1959 by the Conference on Data Systems Languages (CODASYL)
  • RPG

    RPG is a high-level programming language (HLL) for business applications. RPG is an IBM proprietary programming language and its later versions are only available on IBM i or OS/400 based systems.
  • BASIC

    BASIC (an acronym for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code)
    n 1964, John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz designed the original BASIC language at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire.
    is a family of general-purpose, high-level programming languages whose design philosophy emphasizes ease of use.
  • LOGO

    Logo is an educational programming language, designed in 1967 by Daniel G. Bobrow, Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert and Cynthia Solomon. Today the language is remembered mainly for its use of "turtle graphics", in which commands for movement and drawing produced line graphics either on screen or with a small robot called a "turtle". The language was originally conceived to teach concepts of programming related to LISP
  • Pascal

    Pascal is a historically influential imperative and procedural programming language, designed in 1968–1969 and published in 1970 by Niklaus Wirth as a small and efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring.
  • B

    B is a programing language made by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie at Bells Lab. It is derived from BCPL and its believed that the B comes from that.
  • C

    a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. Made by Dennis Ritchie between 69 and 73
  • ML

    ML is a general-purpose functional programming language developed by Robin Milner and others in the early 1970s
    ML stands for metalanguage: it was conceived to develop proof tactics in the LCF theorem prover
  • SQL

    Structured Query Language is a special-purpose programming language designed for managing data held in a relational database management system (RDBMS), or for stream processing in a relational data stream management system (RDSMS).
    Originally based upon relational algebra and tuple relational calculus
  • ADA

    Created by a group called High Order Language Group originally for the Department of Defense. It is named after Ada Lovelace who is acredited as being the first coder.
  • C++

    is a general-purpose programming language. It has imperative, object-oriented and generic programming features, while also providing facilities for low-level memory manipulation.
    C++ is standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), it was first seen in 1983
  • Python

    Python is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language 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++ or Java
  • Visual Basic

    Visual Basic is a legacy third-generation event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft for its COM programming model first released in 1991. Microsoft intended Visual Basic to be relatively easy to learn and use.
  • Delphi

    Embarcadero Delphi is an integrated development environment (IDE) for console, desktop graphical, web, and mobile applications.
    Delphi was originally developed by Borland as a rapid application development tool for Windows, and as the successor of Borland Pascal.
  • Java

    ava is a general-purpose computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented,[12] and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible.
    originally released by Sun under proprietary licences
  • JavaScript

    JavaScript is a high level, dynamic, untyped, and interpreted programming language.It has been standardized in the ECMAScript language specification.Alongside HTML and CSS, it is one of the three essential technologies of World Wide Web content production; Brendan Eich is the creator
  • PHP

    PHP is a server-side scripting language designed for web development but also used as a general-purpose programming language. While PHP originally stood for Personal Home Page,[5] it now stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, which is a recursive backronym
