Plankalkul
Plankalkul was designed by Konrad Zuse in 1943 for engineering purposes. It was one of the first high level languages but was not published until years later because of the World War II. -
FORTRAN
Fortran is a general-purpose, procedural, imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing. Originally developed by IBM. it is one of the most popular languages in the area of high-performance computing . -
MATH-MATIC
Created by a group led by Charles Katz in 1957. It was created to be an improvwement over FORTRAN. -
Lisp
Lisp is the second oldest high-level computer language. It was designed by John McCarthy as a program for practical notation of mathematical calculations on computers. Its name derives from 'List Processing', which is how it more easily manipulates large amounts of data. -
COBOL
One of the oldest programming languages. Stands for Common Business-Oriented Language, Primarily used in business, finance, and administrative systems for companies and governments. -
RPG
RPG was developed by IBM as the Report Program Generator, which replicated the previously used punched card system. It has evolved since and is still used. -
BASIC
Stands for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. The original BASIC was designed in 1964 by John George Kemeny and Thomas Eugene Kurtz at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, USA to provide computer access to non-science students. -
LOGO
Logo was created in 1967 for educational use by Daniel G. Bobrow, Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert and Cynthia Solomon. The name has greek origins, the name logo means "word", emphasising the contrast between itself and other existing programming languages that processed numbers. -
B
B language was developed by Bell Labs and the work of Ken Thompson. It is no longer used as it has been superceeded by C language. It was designed by Thompson to be a more streamlined program that would fit in a greater capacity in the computers of the time. -
PASCAL
Pascal was developed by Niklaus Wirth. Pascal was created to help teach students programming. -
C
C is a general-purpose computer programming language developed between 1969 and 1973 by Dennis Ritchie at the Bell Telephone Laboratories for use with the Unix operating system. Although C was designed for implementing system software, it is also widely used for developing portable application software. It is one of the most widely used programming languages of all time -
ML
ML (metalanguage) is a general purpose language designed by Robin Miller to develop proof tactics in the LCF theorem prover. -
SQL
SQL (Structured Query Language) is a programming language designed for managing data in relational database management systems . It was designed by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce with IBM. -
ADA
Ada was originally designed by a team led by Jean Ichbiah of CII Honeywell Bull under contract to the United States Department of Defense. It was used in mission-critical applications, such as avionics software -
C++
C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup starting in 1979 at Bell Labs as an enhancement to the C language. C++ is one of the most popular programming languages which is used by the Windows OS. -
Visual Basic
Visual Basic is derived from BASIC and enables the rapid application development of GUI applications. access to databases using Data Access Objects, Remote Data Objects, or ActiveX Data Objects, and creation of ActiveX controls and objects. It was developed by Microsoft. -
Python
Python was designed by Guido van Rossum as a more easily readable and more efficient way of high-level coding that was for general purpose. -
JAVA
Java was delevoped by James Gosling and Sun Microsystems originally designed for interactive television, but it was too advanced for the digital cable television industry at the time. Gosling aimed to implement a virtual machine and a language that had a familiar C/C++ style of notation. Java is still used. -
Delphi
Delphi was designed for Windows and easier Windows programming. It was developed by Borderland in early 1995 and is closely related to the language PASCAL. -
Javascript
Javascript was developed in 1995 by Brendan Eich to run as a part of web browsers. It is used to interact more easily with the user and in applications such as gaming and desktop tools. -
PHP
PHP was designed by Ramsus Lerdorf as a server-side scripting language for web development and general puropse programming. PHP now stands for hypertext preprocessor.
