Plankalkul
Kondrad Zuse made Plankalkul. It was a high-level algorithmic programming language. He developed it between 1943 and 1945, but he published it in 1948. -
Fortan
It was developed at IBM by a small team led by John Backus. The name FORTRAN is an acronym for FORmula TRANslation, because it was designed to allow easy translation of math formulas into code. Its also used for large-scale numerical calculations in science and engineering. -
MATH-MATIC
Charles Katz and Grace Hopper developed MATH-MATIC. It was a refinement the A-0 compiler. It was designed to covert source code from one language into another programming language. -
Lisp
John McCarthy developed Lisp as a list processing language for Artificial Intelligence. -
COBOL
COBOL stands for Common Business Oriented Language. COBOL was used for business and administrative purposes. Dr. Grace Murray Hopper lead the team that developed COBOL from 1959-1961. -
RPG
IBM developed RPG. It stands for Report Program Generator. It is a high level proprietary programming language. -
BASIC
Basic stands for Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. It was developed by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz to be a simple easy to learn programming language that students can learn without having to take a course about it. -
Logo
A team at MIT, led by Seymour Papert, created Logo. Logo was originally designed to introduce children to programming concepts, to develop better thinking skills. -
B
B is a computer language designed by D. M. Ritchie and K. L. Thompson, for primarily non-numeric applications such as system programming. These involve complex logical decision-making, and processing of integers, characters, and bit strings. -
PASCAL
Niklaus Wirthfor designed Pascal to allow for the development of well organized programs, and to teach the important concepts of computer programming. Pascal was named after the mathematician Blaise Pascal and it is a direct descendent from ALGOL 60. -
C
C is a procedure-based programming language. The program was used to solve problems. It was coverted/created from B by Dennis Ritchie. -
ML
ML is a general-purpose functional programming language developed by Robin Milner. Standard ML is used as a tool in research on theorem proving, compiler technology and program analysis. -
SQL
SQL stands for Structured Query Language. It was initially developed at IBM by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce. Its a standard programming language used for accessing and maintaining a databases. -
C++
C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup. He stated that the purpose of C++ wass to make writing good programs easier and more pleasant for the individual programmer. C++ is also known as C with classes. -
ADA
ADA is a modern programming language designed for reliable, efficient, long-lived applications, (embedded systems in particular). It was created by a team led by Dr. Jean Ichbiah in France. ADA is not an acroynm, but is was named in honor of Augusta Ada Lovelace. -
Visual Basics
Alan Cooper created a visual programming language, called Ruby, which he sold to Microsoft. Microsoft transformed into a professional development tool from their QuickBASIC programming language called Visual Basic. -
Python
Guido van Rossum developed Python as the scripting language for the Amoeba operating system. -
Java
Java is an object-oriented programming language developed by James Gosling and colleagues at Sun Microsystems. It borrows much syntax from C and C++. It evolved from a language called Oak. It was designed to be a platform independent language for creating applications. -
PHP
Created in 1994 by Rasmus Lerdorf, the very first incarnation of PHP was a simple set of Common Gateway Interface (CGI) binaries written in the C programming language. -
Delphi
Anders Hejlsberg was the chief architect behind Delphi. It uses the language Pascal. It is a is a native code compiler used for application development. -
JavaScript
Brendan Eich was tasked with making Navigator's newly added Java support more accessible to non-Java programmers, so he decided that a loosely-typed scripting language suited the environment and audience. JavaScript was originally called LiveScript.
