Programming Language

By KevinCW
  • Plankalkul

    Plankalkul is German for "Plan Calculus". It was designed for engineering purposes by Konrad Zuse between 1943 and 1945. Plankalkul was the first high-level non-von Neumann programming language to be designed for a computer. (the year is correct, but the date isn't)
  • FORTRAN

    In 1957 FORmula TRANslating system(FORTRAN) was one ofthe major languages. it was designed at IBM for scientific computing. (the year is correct, but disregard the date)
  • MATH-MATIC

    MATH-MATIC was an early programming language for UNIVAC I and UNIVAC II. MATH-MATIC is the marketing name for the AT-3 compiler. It was created by a group led by Charles Katz in 1957. It was intended as an improvement over FORTRAN. (the year is correct, but the date isn't)
  • LISP

    LISP was designed by John McCarthy in 1958. LISP is an acronym for LISt Programming. It was originally created as a practical mathematical notation for computer programs, and was influenced by IPL (Information Processing Language). (the yaer is correct, but the date isn't)
  • COBOL

    COmmon Business-Oriented Language(COBOL) is one of the oldest programming languages. It was designed by Grace Hopper. (the date isn't correct, but the year is)
  • RPG

    RPG (Report Program Generator) was developed by IBM in 1959. It is a high-level programming language used for business applications. (the year is correct but the date isn't)
  • BASIC

    BASIC was developed in 1964 by John Kemeny and Thomas Kurtz. It's a very limited language and was deisgned for non-computer science people. (the year is correct, but the date isn't)
  • LOGO

    LOGO was designed and developed by Wally Feurzeig and Seymour Papert in 1967. LOGO is an adaptation and dialect of LISP. It was created for educational use, mainly for Constructivist Teaching. (the year is correct, but the date isn't)
  • Pascal

    Pascal was developed by Niklaus Wirth in 1968. It combined many of the best features of the languages in use at the time like, COBOL, FORTRAN, and ALGOL. It was developed mainly for a necessity of a good teaching tool. (the year is correct, but disregard the date)
  • B

    B was developed by Bell Labs by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie in 1969. It's now extinct because it was superseded by C
  • C

    C was developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie when he was working at Bell Labs in New Jersey. C was developed for the new Unix system being created at the time.

  • ML

    ML stands for MetaLanguage and it was developed by Robin Milner and others at the University. It is a general-purpose functional programming language and it was inspired by ISWIM. (the year is correct, but the date isn't)
  • SQL

    SQL was designed by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce and was developed by ISO/IEC in 1974. SQL stands for Structured Query Language and it is a special-purpose programming language that was designed for managing data in Relational Database Management Systems or RDBMS. (the date isn't correct, but the year is)
  • C++

    C++ is a computer programming language that was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs in 1979. It is an extension to the programming language of C.

  • ADA

    ADA is a modern programming language that was developed in the 80s by a team lead by Dr. Jean Ichbiah at Cll-Honeywell-Bull in France. it was designed for large, long-lived applications and embedded systems. The name ADA pays honor to mathematician Augusta Ada Lovelace (1818-1852). (the year is correct, but the date isn't)
  • Python

    Python was designed by Guido van Rossum in the late 1980s, but wasn't implemented until 1989. It's a general-purpose high-level programmign language that supports multiple programming paradigm's. (the year is correct but the date isn't)
  • Visual Basic

    Visual Basic was develpoed by Microsoft in 1991, and it is a third-generation event-driven programming language and IDE ( Integrated Development Environment) . it was derived from BASIC and was designed to be easy to learn and use. (the year is correct, but the date isn't)
  • Javascript

    Javascript was developed by Netscape Communications Corporation, Mozilla Foundation and was designed by Brendan Eich. It is a prototype-based scripting lanuage that is dynamic, weakly typed and has first-class functions. (the year is correct, the date isn't)
  • Java

    Java was developed at Oracle Corporation in 1995 and designed by James Gosling, Mike Sheridan, and Patrick Naughton. It as specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible (the year is correct, but the date isn't)
  • PHP

    PHP was created in 1995 by Rasmus Lerdorf. PHP is one of the first server-side scripting languages to be embedded into an HTML source document rather calling an external file to process data. PHP originally stood for Personal Home Page, but now it stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor. (the year is correct, but the date isn't)
  • Delphi

    Delphi was released in February 1995 and developed by Borland. It is the descendant of Turbo Pascal. And it a native code compiler that runs under Windows '95.
