Computer Programming languages

  • Plankalkül

    Is a computer language designed for engineering purposes by Konrad Zuse between 1943 and 1945. It was the first high-level non-von Neumann programming language to be designed for a computer.
  • Fortran

    General-purpose, imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing. Developed by John Backus.
  • MATH-MATIC

    Is the marketing name for the AT-3 compiler. Early programming language for UNIVAC I and UNIVAC II. Intended as an improvement over FORTRAN. Created by a group led by Charles Katz in 1957.
  • Lisp

    Is a family of computer programming languages with a long history and a distinctive, fully parenthesized Polish prefix notation. Lisp is the second-oldest high-level programming language in widespread use today. Developed by Steve Russell, Timothy P. Hart, and Mike Levin.
  • COBOL

    One of the oldest programming languages, primarily designed by Grace Hopper. Acroynm for COmmon Business-Oriented Language
  • RPG

    Is a high-level programming language for business applications. The developer is IBM. It remains a popular programming language on the IBM Power i platform where the current version, RPG IV ,provides a modern programming environment.
  • Basic

    Stands for "Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code". A family of general-purpose, high-level programming languages whose design philosophy emphasizes ease of use. Forms and variations are still popular today especially in vb.net (visual BASIC)
  • LOGO

    Is a graphic oriented educational programming language, designed in 1967 by Daniel G. Bobrow, Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert and Cynthia Solomon. The language is remembered mainly 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

    Designed by Ken Thompson which was based on BCPL. B was essentially BCPL just without extra components that weren't neccessary to make the files smaller.
  • Pascal

    Niklaus Wirth designed it and it is an "imperative and influential procedural programming language. Intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring. Later was used as a basis for many programming laungages.
  • C

    Dennis Ritchie developed C to be a general-purpose programming language.
  • ML

    A general-purpose functional programming language developed by Robin Milner and others in the early 1970s at the University of Edinburgh,whose syntax is inspired by ISWIM. ML stands fo meta laungage.
  • SQL

    Structured Query Language is a special-purpose programming language designed for managing data held in a relational database management system. Designed by Donald D.Chamberlin Raymond F. Boyce.
  • Ada

    Ada was originally designed by a team led by Jean Ichbiah under contract to the United States DoD from 1977 to 1983 to supersede the hundreds of programming languages then used by the DoD. Ada was named after Ada Lovelace who is credited as being the first computer programmer.
  • C++

    C++is a general purpose programming laungage regarded as an intermediate-level language, as it comprises both high-level and low-level language features. Extremely wide used today.
  • Python

    Is a widely used general-purpose, high-level programming language. Designed by Guido van Rossum. The language provides constructs intended to enable clear programs on both a small and large scale.
  • Visual Basic

    Is a third-generation event-driven programming language and integrated development environment. Developed by microsoft, its successor VB.net is extremely popular and wide used today.
  • Java

    A general-purpose, concurrent, class-based, object-oriented computer programming language that is specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. Intenteded to be able to "write once, run anywhere". Designed by James Gosling and Sun Microsystems.
  • Javascript

    An interpreted computer programming language. Not to be confused with Java. Mainly used for webpage scripting and has been used for both client and server side scripting as well as the interaction between the two. Designed by Brendan Eich.
  • PHP

    A server-side scripting language designed for web development but also used as a general-purpose programming language. Designed by Rasmus Lerdorf. While PHP originally stood for Personal Home Page, it now stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, a recursive acronym.
