  • Plankalkul

    A program language designed for engineering purposes created by Konrad Zuse this was the first high level language ( not Von Neumann).

  • FORTRAN

    This program was created by John Backus. Before FORTRAN computer code was written in machine or assembly language, The creation of FORTRAN was a huge landmark in programing history.

  • MATH-MATIC

    created by a group led by Charles Katz this program language was an early program language for the UNIVAC it was supposed to be an improvement over FORTRAN.

  • Lisp

    LISP is the second oldest high level programming language ever. this polish parenthisized programing language was developed by John McCarthy,Steve Russel, Timothy P. Hart and Mike Levin.

  • RPG

    RPG is a program developed by IBM, this high level program language meant fo business application. RPG is one of the few programming languages that were created for punched card machines that are still commonly used today.

  • COBOL

    Common Bsiness-Oiented Language or COBOL was developed by CODASYL it was created as an effort from the U.S Department of Defence for the purpose of creating a portable programming language for data Processing.

  • BASIC

    BASIC is an acronym for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. this language was created by Thomas Kurtz and John G Kemeny. BASIC had a huge influence on other Languages it also allowed small business owners to learn and write simple and affordabla code for themselves.

  • LOGO

    LOGO is an educational programing language designed by Daniel G. Bobrow, Wally Feurzeig and Seymour Papart. The program tought the "student" the concepts of programing. By typing a command the program would move a turtle while drawing a line graphic.

  • B

    B is a language that was developed at bell labs by Ken Thomas (with some help from Dennis Richie). This language was based mainly on BCPL. Thomas striped BCPL language in order to make it fit in to memory of microcomputers.

  • PASCAL

    The programing language was created by Niklaus Wirth and named in honor of French Mathmatician Blaise Pascal, this language was created to promote good programming practices with structured programming and data structuring.

  • C

    Ken Thomas and Dennis richie were the ones who developed C comuter language. They also created B language but when trying to use PDP-11 they noticed that language B wasnt the best to use for this it was missing compnets ( mainy bytes). so they developed a language that was better with PDP-11.

  • ML

    ML stands for metalanguage is a general purpose programing language created by Robin Milner and others at the University of
    Edinburgh.

  • SQL

  • ADA

  • C++

    C++ was created by Bjarne Stroustrup who was presented with a problem. while he was working at AT&T Bell Labs he noticed that simula ( A program used for large software projects was to slow while BCPL (A lowlevel programing code) was fast but was to low level to support large software. so he created C++ ( simula and c)

  • Visual Basic

    Visual Basic is a third generationevent driven programming language andintergrated enviorment created by microsoft. A programmer can create an application using what visual basic provides by itself.

  • Python

    Created by Guido van Rossum this programming language is a widely used general purpose language. this language uses less amont of lines of code compared to C or C++ programming langauges

  • Delphi

    Delphi was one of the many code names for a pre release development tool project at Borland. created by Embarcadero Technologies as a code name to go with the oracale database." if you want to talk to the Oracale go to delphi".

  • Java

    Java is an General purpose computer programing language with the abillity to " Write Once, Run anywhere" design allowing the user to write a singe code and run it from any device that supports Java. This language was designed by james Gosling and sun microsystems. This languge as of 2015 is the most popular.

  • PHP

    Personal Home Page or PHP was created by Ramus Lerdorf, the programming language was origanaly ment to be used to create webpages but is also used for general purpose programming.
