The History of Programming

  • The Analytical Enginge

    The Analytical Enginge
    The analytical engine was a general-purpose computer designed by Charles Babbage, described in 1837 as the successor to his different engine.
  • The Edison effect and Vacuum tubes

    The Edison effect and Vacuum tubes
    These tubes were used to make electic devices work. Though they were not as effective as transitors they ran on mass amounts of power.
  • The Tabulating machine

    The Tabulating machine
    This was an electromechanical machine which assisted in: summarizing, and accounting information, invented by Herman Hollerith.
  • The ENIAC

    The ENIAC
    The Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer was the first general-purpose computer, and was capable of solving a full range of computing problems. Utilized by the military it cost around some $500,000 dollars.
  • Transistors

    Transistors
    Now the fundamental building block for modern electronic devices, the transistor was developed in 1947 by John Bardeen and Walter Brattain. The transistor made is so that "the controlled (output) power can be higher than the controlling (input) power, a transistor can amplify a signal."
  • FORTRAN

    FORTRAN
    Although it was invented in 1954, it was not released to the public for use until 1957. Being one of the first high-level programming languages, It was and is still used to solve complex math problems.
  • COBOL

    COBOL
    The COmmonn Business Oriented Language was one of the oldest programming languages designed by Grace Hopper used for mainly business purposes.
  • Space War

    Space War
    Space War is known as the earliest two player digital video game, created by Steve Russel and Wayne Wiitanen, taking approximately 200 hours of work to complete the original version.
  • Logo language

    Logo language
    This was a language in which it enabled the programmer to create or move an image based on the useres words. Utilized for educational purposes
  • Object Oriented Programming

    Object Oriented Programming
    This was a new programming method developing in the late 1970's, where Objects were pieces of data that could be packaged and manipulated by the programmer.
  • C++

    C++
    Developed by Bjarne Straus, this was the successor to the C language. . It used the Stimula language and adapted it in a faster way.
  • Introduction of Python

    Introduction of Python
    Python is a programming language used generally for higher-level usees developed by Python software.
  • Java Script

    Java Script
    Created by Brendan Eich and made it so that clinet-side scripts could interact with the user, control the browser, communicate well and alter the document content that is displayed.
  • PHP intro.

    PHP intro.
    Created by Rasmus Lerforf, this was a language created for web-dvelopment
  • The Intorduction of Java

    The Intorduction of Java
    Made by James Gosling, this was a general-use langauge that was made so it was designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It
