Programming Languages Timeline

B (Binary Code)

Jan 1, 1678

Binary code was invented in 1679 by Gottfried Leibniz. It is used by computers to do basically everything from calculating equations to displaying text.

Delphi

Feb 17, 1955

The Delphi programming language was developed by Borland as an extension of the Pascal programming language

MATH-MATIC

Jan 27, 1957

MATH-MATIC was developed by Charles Katz and was the early programming language for UNIVAC I and UNIVAC II.MATH-MATIC was intended as an improvement over FORTRAN. MATH-MATIC led to the development of the first English-language business data processing compiler, B-0 (FLOW-MATIC).

FORTRAN (FORmula TRANslation)

Jun 18, 1957

FORTRAN was developed by a team of programmers at IBM led by John Backus and published in 1957

Lisp

Jul 18, 1958

Lisp is an AI programe used in many diffrent areas from air defence to robots and games and was invented by John McCarthy

COBOL (Common Business Oriented Language)

Jun 16, 1959

COBOL was developed by the Conference on Data Systems Languages (CODASYL) which is a joint operation of industries, major universities, and the U.S. government

BASIC (Beginner's All Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code)

Jan 1, 1963

BASIC code was invented in Dartmouth College, by mathematicians Cas something to learn before a more difficult languages as it gives the concept of programming.

LOGO

Oct 7, 1967

LOGO was developed by Wally Feurzeig and Seymour Papert and it is a computer programming language used for functional programming.The first implementation of Logo, called Ghost, was written in LISP on an SDS 950. The goal was to create a math land where kids could play with words and sentences.

PASCAL

Jan 27, 1970

Developed by Niklaus Wirth, PASCAL was made to teach students structured programming.PASCAL is a procedural language that includes the traditional array of ALGOL-like control structures with reserved words such as if, then, else, while and for.

C

Aug 27, 1973

CC is a general-purpose computer programming language developed by Dennis Ritchie.C was designed for implementing system software, but it is also widely used for developing portable application software. In C, all executable code is contained within functions.C is one of the most popular programming languages of all time.

ADA

Jan 1, 1980

ADA is a programming code invented in the early 1980's and are used in large, long-lived applications where reliability and efficency are essential. The name ADA was given to it as a contribution to Ada Lovelace, the inventore of the first code.

C++

Aug 27, 1980

C++ was invented in the early 1980s by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs. It is used for pulling or putting data into a database, displaying high graphics in a game or video, controlling devices connected to a PC and playing music/sound effects

Visual Basic

Jan 27, 1991

Visual Basic is the third-generation event-driven programming language and integrated development environment from Microsoft for its COM programming model.Visual Basic was derived from BASIC and enables the rapid application development of graphical user interface applications, access to databases using Data Access Objects, Remote Data Objects, or ActiveX Data Objects, and creation of ActiveX controls and objects

Javascript

May 17, 1995

Javascript was invented by Brendan Eich and is used to make websites interactive.

Java

Aug 18, 1995

Java was invented by James Gosling and is used on Web pages, in cell phones and on mainframes all around the world.
