1.2 Timeline Assignment

By rawscar

  • Plankalkul

    designed for engineering purposes. First appeared in 1948. Designed by Konrad Zuse

  • Fortran

    Fortran is a general-purpose, compiled imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing. Designed by John Backus. First appeared in 1957

  • MATH-MATIC

    is the marketing name for AT-3(Algebraic Translator 3). designed by Remington Rand. First appeared in 1957. MATH-MATIC provided algebraic-style expressions and floating-point arithmetic, and arrays rather than record structures.

  • Lisp

    Lisp was originally created as a practical mathematical notation for computer programs. It quickly became the favored programming language for artificial intelligence research. Developed by John Mccarthy. First appeared in 1958

  • COBOL

    Designed by Howard Bromberg, Howard Discount, Vernon Reeves, Jean E. Sammet, William Selden, Gertrude Tierney. It is primarily used in business, finance, and administrative systems for companies and governments. First appeared in 1959

  • RPG

    a tool to replicate punched card processing on the IBM 140. Designed by IBM. First appeared in 1959

  • BASIC

    Stands for Beginner's All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. Developed by John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz. First appeared in 1964. Enables students in fields other than science and mathematics to use computers.

  • Logo

    designed in 1967 by Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert and Cynthia Solomon. Logo is widely known 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

  • B

    Developed by Ken Thompson. Designed for cursive, non-numeric, machine independent applications. First appeared in 1969.

  • Pascal

    Pascal is a small, efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring. Designed by Niklaus Wirth. First appeared in 1970

  • C

    Designed by Dennis Ritchie. First appeared in 1973. It was designed to be compiled using a relatively straightforward compiler, to provide low-level access to memory, to provide language constructs that map efficiently to machine instructions, and to require minimal run-time support.

  • ML

    It is known for its use of the polymorphic Hindley–Milner type system, which automatically assigns the types of most expressions without requiring explicit type annotations, and ensures type safety – there is a formal proof that a well-typed ML program does not cause runtime type errors. Designed by Robin Milner. First appeared in 1973

  • SQL

    used in programming and designed for managing data held in a relational database management system (RDBMS), or for stream processing in a relational data stream management system. Designed by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce. First appeared in 1974

  • ADA

    Improves code safety and maintainability by using the compiler to find errors in favor of runtime errors. Created by Jean Ichbiah in 1977-1983. ADA is named after Ada Lovelace.

  • C++

    Designed by Bjarne Stroustrup. First appeared in 1985. Created for it to be possible to code C++ in a "C style" or "object-oriented style."

  • Python

    provides constructs that enable clear programming on both small and large scales. First appeared in 1990. Designed by Guido Van Rossum

  • Visual Basic

    Visual Basic was derived from BASIC and enables 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. Designed by Microsoft. First appeared in 1991

  • Java

    Java is specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. Designed by James Gosling. First appeared in 1995

  • JavaScript

    First appeared in 1995. JavaScript enables interactive web pages and thus is an essential part of web applications. Designed by Brendan Eich

  • PHP

    PHP code may be embedded into HTML code, or it can be used in combination with various web template systems, web content management systems, and web frameworks. PHP originally stood for Personal Home Page, but it now stands for the recursive acronym PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor. Designed by Rasmus Lerdorf. First appeared in 1995.

  • Delphi

    Delphi was originally developed as a rapid application development tool for Windows as the successor of Turbo Pascal. First appeared in 2006. Developed by Borland
