  • fortran

    developed by a team of programmers at IBM led by John Backus
    The name FORTRAN is an acronym for FORmula TRANslation, because it was designed to allow easy translation of math formulas into code

    developed by John McCarthy
    used in seminal artificial intelligence projects like the SHRDLU natural language program
    stands for LISt Processing

  • B

    the work of Ken Thompson with Dennis Ritchie
    designed for recursive, non-numeric, machine-independent applications, such as system and language software
    B stands for Bon

  • RPG

    RPG was developed by IBM for business applications on machines using punch cards. RPG stands for Report Program Generator.

  • BASIC

    designed by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz
    wanted to enable students in fields other than science and mathematics to use computers.
    Stands for Beginners' All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code

  • LOGO

  • PASCAL

    PASCAL was developed by Niklaus Wirth Pascal was a highly influential language for structured and data programming. Pascal was named in honor of the French mathematician Blaise Pascal.

  • C

    originally developed at Bell Labs by Dennis Ritchie
    provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions and has found lasting use in applications previously coded in assembly language.
    Stands for Cross system

  • ML

    ML was by Robin Milner and it is commonly used for client/ server programs and financial systems. ML stands for meta language.

  • SQL

    SQL was developed by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce at IBM. SQL was primarily used for managing data and stream processing. SQL stands for Structured Query Language.

  • ADA

    designed by a team led by French computer scientist Jean Ichbiah
    designed for development of very large software systems.The adherence to strong typing allows detection of many common software errors,either during compile-time, or otherwise during run-time.
    Ada was named for Augusta Ada King, countess of Lovelace, who was an assistant to the 19th-century English inventor Charles Babbage, and is sometimes called the first computer programmer

  • JAVA

    started as a project called "Oak" by James Gosling in June 1991. Gosling's goals were to implement a virtual machine and a language that had a familiar C-like notation but with greater uniformity and simplicity than C/C++.
    stands for Japan Anti-Vivisection Association

  • Phython

    Python was developed by Guido Van Rossum as a high-level programming language made to emphasize code readability. Its syntax allows programmers to use fewer lines of code to convey their ideas. Python has no acronym

    an extension of the C language; he wanted an efficient and flexible language similar to C that also provided high-level features for program organization.

  • COBOL

    Invented by Grace Murray Hopper
    a compiled English-like computer programming language designed for business use.
