Plankalkül
Plankalkül was developed in 1943 and published in 1948 by Konrad Zuse, and it was developed for engineering purposes. This langauge however was special in the act it was the first high-level non-von Neumann programing language to be developed for computers. Von Neumann programing is an arichetcure of programing that most langauges to this day follow, such as C, Java, and even Fortran. -
Fortran
Designed by IBM, Fortran was designed to be used for numeric computation and scientific computing. It is a highly popular high preformance language and it is used by the world's fastest supercomputers. -
MATH-MATIC
Developed in 1957 by Charles Katz, MATH-MATIC was an early computer programing langauge origanlly designed to be an imporvment for Fortran. -
Lisp
Lisp was developed by John McCarthy in 1958, orignally designed for a practical mathmatical calculation, it quickly became the favorite langauge for artifical intellgence language research and it still is to this day. -
COBOL
Designed by Grace Hopper and the Conference on Data Systems Languages, COBOL is a compiled computer programing langauge designed for buisness uses, thus it's full name COmmon Business-Oriented Language. -
RPG
RPG, or know better as IBM RPG, is a high level programing langauge designed for buisness applications designed by IBM in 1959, it's full name being Report Program Generator. RPG is one of the few langauges that were designed for punch card computers and still used today, mainly because of how IBM decided to update the langauge rather than let it become obselete. -
Basic
Created by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz, Basic was designed to be a easier langauge for students to learn, thus it's full name being Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. -
LOGO
LOGO was developed in 1967 by Daniel G. Bobrow, Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert and Cynthia Solomon. It was designed to be an educational langauge, actually aimed more towards learning how to write programs in Lisp. -
B
Apperaing in 1969, B was a computer program langauge created by Ken Thompson. A stripped verison of the langaue BCPL, it wa designed to work with nanocomputers. -
PASCAL
PASCAL was being developed in 1968 and was published in 1970 by Niklaus Wirth. It was created with the intention of creating a small but efficent programing langauge that would encourage good programing practices such as data structuring and structured programing. -
C
C was developed by Dennis Ritchie at AT&T Bell labs. It was designed to be a general purpose langauge and was a highly reliable langauge, thus leading to it's widspread use. -
ML
ML was created by Robin Milner in 1973 as a functional programing langauge, a langauge that specialised in evalulating mathmatical functions and algorithms. -
SQL
SQL was designed by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce at IBM in the early 1970's and released in 1974. It was designed to be a langauge used in a relational database management system (RDBMS), a Database in which data from one storage drive had relations to data in another storage drive, such as a list of customer's names being in data file, and that same person havng their phone number in another file would be marked as a relationship. -
ADA
Started in the early 1980's by Dr. Jean Ichbiah, ADA was the first internationally recongized object-oreninted-programing langauge. It is called ADA in honor of Ada Lovelace, the person accredited for being the first programer -
C++
C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup, is a general puropse object-oreiented-programing lanague designed with high level capabitlites. -
Python
Python was developed by Guido van Rossum in 1989 and released in 1991, it's a general purpose high level programing langauge. It was designed to be easy to read and to be able to do more in fewer lines of code than other langauges. -
Visual Basic
Visual Basic was developed by Microsoft in 1991 and was intended to be easy to learn and used. It was designed also to be able to rapidly develop applications and GUI's. despite being unsported as of 1998, the team that developed is commited to a "It Just Works" mindframe around Visual Basic, allowing programs developed in Visual Basic be useable even to this day on Windows computers. -
Delphi
Designed by Borland Software, Delphi was designed to be used as a rapid application development tool for Windows, Linux, and Mac. -
Java
Java was developed by James Gosling, and now owened by the Oracle Corporation, as an object-oriented-progrming langauge with the ablity of "write once, run anywhere" (WORA), meaning code that's compolied on one platform does not need to be recompiled to run on another platform. -
JavaScript
JavaScript was developed by Brendan Eich as a dynamic programing langauge, meaning that the program acts when it's ran like a program does the first time it's compoiled, such as adding new code or objects to it. -
PHP
PHP was designed by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994 and published in 1995, it was designed as a server-side scripting langauge for use on websites but it can also be used for general programing. Server-side-scripiting is the manipulation of embeding scripts of code into an HTML file, or a website for short.
