ADA
This programing language was created by Dr. Jean Ichbiah and the team he led at CII-Honeywell-Bull. The major things that ADA is programmed to do is from microkernels and small-footprint, real-time embedded systems to large-scale enterprise applications, and everything in between. The name was inspired by August Ada Lovelace, which she is considered the first mathematician to be a programmer. -
Fortran
John Backus and a small team from IBM created this language. It's purpose is to do large scale numerical calculations in science and engineering. -
COBOL
This language was created by the Conference on Data Systems Language (CODASYL). It was created for the purpose of high-level programing language for business applications. The name COBOL stands for Common Business-Oriented Language . -
BASIC
This language was created by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz of Dartmouth College. This was used to run programs on the schools' general electric computer system. BASIC stand for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. -
LOGO
This programing language was created by Bolt, Beranek and Newman. It was designed as a tool for learning. -
B
This language was created by Ken Thompson with some help from Dennis Ritchie. The main purpose of this language is to help with system development. It was influenced by BCPL, which is where they got B from. -
C
This programing language was created by Dennis Ritchie who worked in Bell Labs. It's purpose was to write an operating system called UNIX/used for system development work, particularly the programs that make-up the operating system. -
C++
C++ is a better version of C, hence the + plus signs added to the name. It was created by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs. The purpose of it was to provide high-level features for program organization. -
Javascript
Brenden Eich created this language, and it was just an advancement of Java. It is a scripting language for the Web for both client and server side. It was then quickly re-positioned as a Web “companion” for Java. -
Delphi
Delphi does not stand for anything, Anders Hejlsberg just thought that name fit the language. The main purpose of this language was to provide object-orientated and form-based approach, extremely fast native code compiler, visual two-way tools and great database support, close integration with Windows and the component technology. -
Java
Java was created by James Gosling. The following is what Javas purpose is; It should use the object-oriented programming methodology. It should allow the same program to be executed on multiple operating systems. It should contain built-in support for using computer networks. It should be designed to execute code from remote sources securely. It should be easy to use by selecting what was considered the good parts of other object-oriented languages.
