  • Plankalkul

    Plankalkul is the creation of Konrad Zuse, Plankalkul stored chunks of code that would be invoked repeatedly to do operations like taking a square. Plankalkul stands for "Plan Calculus".

  • Fortran

    Fortran was created by John Backus and it was created to help scientists and engineers. For 30 years Fortran has been used for the design of aeroplane structures, also it is used for automation control for factories, storm drainage design, and for scientific data. It stands for formula translator.

  • MATH-MATIC

    Remington Rand created the programming language MATH-MATIC, its purpose was basically a calculator, and it is the marketing name for AT-3 (Algebraic Translator 3).

  • COBOL

    Grace Hopper deveoped COBOL and she was known as "the grandmother of COBOL". It was created as a part of US Department of Defense in an effort to create portable programming language to process data. COBOL is stands for "common business-oriented language".

  • RPG

    RPG reported errors in building programming and it was used in a DEC and IBM computers, it also stands for "role-playing game"

  • Lisp

    Lisp was created by John McCarthy, Lisp's purpose was to make it easy for the manipulation of data strings. Its an acronym "list processing".

  • PASCAL

    Niklaus Wirth was the one who invented PASCAL, PASCAL purpose was for data structuring. PASCAL is name after a mathematicion Blaise Pascal.

  • BASIC

    BASIC was made at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. The two people who created BASIC are John E. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz. BASIC was created for an easier way for students to write computer programs. Ever since then, its actually advanced and now is used to create advanced computer programs used today. BASIC stands for "Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instructions Code".

  • LOGO

    LOGO was developed by Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert, Cynthia Solomon, and its purpose was generating shapes using a turtle cursor.

  • B

    B was developed by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchi, the reason B was made was to do system programming. It doesnt stand for anything but it was based off the original program BCPL

  • ML

    Robin Milner was the developer of Robin Milner. ML's purpose is to give pattern matching for functionable arguments, trash collection, programming, call-by-value and currying. ML stands for "Meta Language".

  • SQL

    Donalds D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce, created the SQL programming language, SQL was used to communicate with a database. SQL stands for "Structured Query Language"

  • C

    C was developed by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs. It was designed to provide low level access to memory, and to provide language that helps map quickly to machine instructions, also to require short runtime support. C has no special meaning behind its name.

  • C++

    C++ was created by Bjarne Stroustrup. The primary purpose of C++ was to help programmers write fast, and portable programs. C++ is actually an extension of the programming language C. It stands for "C with classes"

  • ADA

    ADA was created by Jean Ichbiah. ADA was developed in the 1980's, and its purpose was to make codes safer and maintainability by using the compiler in the computer to find errors. ADA was named after Ada Lovelace.

  • Python

    Python was created by Guido van Rossum, its purpose was developing desktop and web applications.

  • Java

    James Gosling created Java in 1991, the purpose of Java was to create complete applications that may run on a single computer or be distributed among servers in a network. Java is the name that the "sun" gave to their language.

  • Visual Basic

    Alan Cooper created the programming language called Visual Basic, its purpose was to provide graphical user interface, which allows programmers to modify code.

  • PHP

    Rasmus Lerdorf was the creator of PHP. PHP's purpose was to help server-side web development. PHP stands for "Personal Home Page"

  • Delphi

    Delphi was created by Borland. Delphi was made for rapidly building or converting an application onto a web service. Delphi is an object oriented programming language.

  • Javascript

    Brendan Eich created Javascript, also it was used to create web pages
