Jonathan's timeline assignment

  • Plankakul

    It was created in 1948 by Konrad Zuse. It was designed for engineering purposes. It was the first high-level programming language designed on a computer.
  • Fortran

    It was first developed in 1957 by John Backus. The design of this language was to help with scientific and engineering applications. Fortran was derived from Formula Translation.
  • MATH-MATIC

    It was created by Remington Rand, it first appeared in 1957. It was created to provide algebraic-style expressions and floating arithmetic. The name was a marketing name for AT-3 (Algebraic Translator 3).
  • Lisp

    It was created by Steve Russell, Timothy P. Hart, and Mike Levin. Its purpose was to do practical mathematical notation for computer programs. This quickly became the favored language for Artificial Intelligence.
  • COBOL

    This language was developed in 1959 by Howard Bromberg, Howard Discount, Vernon Reeves, Jean E. Sammet, William Selden, and Gertrude Tierney. The main purpose of this language was to be used by the Department of Defense in a effort to create a portable programming language for data processing. The acronym for this is (common business- oriented language.)
  • RPG

    It was first introduced in 1959 as a Report Problem Generator. It was developed by IBM. At first it was used as a tool to replicate punched card processing. The name was an acronym for Report Problem Generator.
  • BASIC

    It was created in 1964, by John G. Kennedy and Thomas E. Kurt. The language concentrated on straightforward mathematics. The acronym for the language is (Beginner's All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code.), the creators philosophy was to make it an ease to use.
  • LOGO

    It first appeared in 1967, it was made by Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert, and Cynthia Solomon. The language was known for its turtle graphics, which commands for movement and drawing produced lines.
  • B

    It was created in 1969, the language was developed in Bell Labs circa, The people who created the language are Ken Thompson and Dennis Richie. The purpose of this language was for recursive machine-independent, such as language software.
  • PASCAL

    It was created in 1970 by Niklaus Wirth. It was created to be a small, efficient language that encouraged good programming practices. The name of the language was in honor of the French Mathematician, philosopher, and physicist Blaise Pascal.
  • C

    This computer language was created by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs. The primary purpose was to be complied using a relatively straight-Forward compiler.
  • ML

    It was created in 1973 by Robin Miner and others at the University Of Edinburgh. Its purpose was a general-purpose functional programming language.
  • SQL

    It first appeared in 1974 and was designed by Donald D. Chamberlin Raymond F. Boyce, and was developed by ISO/IEC. It was designed to manage data in a relational database management system. The acronym for the name was Structured Query Language.
  • ADA

    It was first introduced in 1980 (30 years ago), it was extended from Pascal and other languages. It was created by a team of French computer scientists lead by Jean Ichbiah. ADA was designed to develop very large software systems.
  • Delphi

    It first appeared in 1983, and was developed by Anders Hejlsberg. The purpose of this language was to work as a rapid application development tool for Windows.
  • C++

    It was created by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1985. The main design of this was biased toward system programming.
  • Python

    It was first introduced in 1991, it was developed by Python Software Foundation and was designed by Guido van Rossum. It was created to help programmers write clear, logical code for small and large-scale projects.
  • Visual Basic

    It first appeared in 1991 and was developed by Microsoft. Its purpose was to be easy to learn and use. It was derived from BASIC.
  • JavaScript

    It was first introduced in 1995 and was developed by Brendan Eich. The purpose of this language was to enable interactive web pages.
  • PHP

    It first appeared in 1995, it was created by Rasmus Lerdorf and was developed by the PHP development team. It was created to do programming tasks outside of the web context, such as standalone graphical graphical applications.
  • Java

    It was created in 1995 by James Gosling and developed by Sun Micro systems. It was designed to run on all platforms that supported Java without the need of recompilation.
