-
Plankalkül
is a programming language designed for engineering purposes by Konrad Zuse between 1942 and 1945. It was the first high-level programming language to be designed for a computer. -
MATH-MATIC
is the marketing name for the AT-3 (Algebraic Translator 3) compiler, an early programming language for the UNIVAC I and UNIVAC II. MATH-MATIC was written beginning around 1955 by a team led by Charles Katz -
FORTRAN
derived from Formula Translation is a general-purpose, imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing. FORTRAN was developed by a team of programmers at IBM led by John Backus, and was first published in 1957. -
LISP
invented by John McCarthy in 1958 while he was at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). LISP, an acronym for list processing, is a programming language that was designed for easy manipulation of data strings. it is a commonly used language for artificial intelligence (AI) programming. It is one of the oldest programming languages still in relatively wide use. -
RPG
a high-level programming language for business applications. Made by IBM (1959) -
COBOL
is a compiled English-like computer programming language designed for business use. It was created as part of a US Department of Defense effort to create a portable programming language for data processing.
From 1959 to 1961, Hopper lead the team that invented COBOL (Common Business-Oriented Language), the first user-friendly business computer software program. -
BASIC
an acronym for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code, is a family of general-purpose, high-level programming languages whose design philosophy emphasizes ease of use. In 1964, John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz designed the original BASIC language at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, United States. -
LOGO
an educational programming language, designed in 1967 by Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert and Cynthia Solomon. It was derived from the Greek logos meaning word or "thought" by Feurzeig, to distinguish itself from other programming languages that were primarily numbers, not graphics or logic, oriented. -
B
is a programming language developed at Bell Labs circa 1969. It is the work of Ken Thompson with Dennis Ritchie.
Primarily for non-numeric applications such as system programming. These typically involve complex logical decision-making, and processing of integers, characters, and bit strings. -
PASCAL
an imperative and procedural programming language, which Niklaus Wirth designed in 1968–69 and published in 1970, as a small, efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring. Named after Blaise Pascal — a French mathematician, responsible for a series of discoveries and who also invented the first calculator (called Pascaline) in 1645. -
C
is a high-level and general-purpose programming language that is ideal for developing firmware or portable applications. Originally intended for writing system software, C was developed at Bell Labs by Dennis Ritchie for the Unix Operating System in the early 1970s. -
SQL
is used to communicate with a database. According to ANSI (American National Standards Institute), it is the standard language for relational database management systems. SQL statements are used to perform tasks such as update data on a database, or retrieve data from a database. -
ADA
A high-level programming language developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s for the United States Defense Department. Ada was designed to be a general-purpose language for everything from business applications to rocket guidance systems. One of its principal features is that it supports real-time applications.
Named after Ada Byron -
Python
Created in 1989 by Guido van Rossum and is used by thousands of people to do things from testing microchips at Intel, to powering Instagram, and to building video games with the PyGame library. -
PHP
an "HTML-embedded scripting language" primarily used for dynamic Web applications. PHP was written in the C programming language by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994 for use in monitoring his online resume and related personal information. For this reason, PHP originally stood for "Personal Home Page". -
JAVA
was originally developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems and released in 1995 as a core component of Sun Microsystems' Java platform. The language derives much of its syntax from C and C++. Java is a programming language that developers use to create applications on your computer. -
JAVASCRIPT
It was developed by Sun for use in pretty much anything that needs some computing power. JavaScript was developed by Brendan Eich, then working at Netscape, as a client side scripting language. -
Visual Basic
Visual Basic (VB) is a programming environment from Microsoft in which a programmer uses a graphical user interface (GUI) to choose and modify preselected sections of code written in the BASIC programming language. -
C++
is a general-purpose object-oriented programming (OOP) language, developed by Bjarne Stroustrup, and is an extension of the C language. In certain scenarios, it can be coded in either way and is thus an effective example of a hybrid language.
