Programming Languages Timeline

By Chancey
  • Plankalkül

    Created for enginerring purposes by Konrad Zuse
  • Fortran

    Fortran blends derived from IBM Mathematical Formula Translating System) is a general-purpose, procedural, imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing. Originally developed by IBM at their campus in south San Jose, California in the 1950s for scientific and engineering applications,
  • MATH-MATIC

    MATH-MATIC is the marketing name for the AT-3 compiler. It was the early programming language for UNIVAC I and UNIVAC II. Intended as an improvement over FORTRAN. Created by a group led by Charles Katz in 1957.
  • Lisp

    It was created as a practical mathematical notation by John McCarthy
  • RPG

    Created by IBM for business applications
  • COBOL

    COBOL is one of the oldest programming languages. Its name is an acronym for COmmon Business-Oriented Language, defining its primary domain in business, finance, and administrative systems for companies and governments.The COBOL specification was created by Grace Hopper during the second half of 1959.
  • BASIC

    In computer programming, BASIC (an acronym for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code is a family of high-level programming languages. The original BASIC was designed in 1964 by John George Kemeny and Thomas Eugene Kurtz at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, USA to provide computer access to non-science students.
  • LOGO

    LOGO is a computer programming language used for functional programming. Itis an adaptation and dialect of the Lisp language; some have called it Lisp without the parentheses. Today, it is known mainly for its turtle graphics, but it also has significant facilities for handling lists, files, I/O, and recursion.Logo was created in 1967 for educational use, more so for constructivist teaching, by Daniel G. Bobrow, Wally Feurzeig, Seymour Papert and Cynthia Solomon.
  • PASCAL

    Pascal is an imperative and procedural programming language, designed in 1969 and published in 1970 by Niklaus Wirth.
  • B

    Developed by Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie to help fit into the memory capacity of the computers of the time.
  • SQL

    SQL stands for Structured Query Language, is a database computer language designed for managing data in relational database management systems (RDBMS), and originally based upon relational algebra. It was developed by developed at IBM by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce in the early 1970s.
  • C

    C is a general-purpose computer programming language developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at the Bell Telephone Laboratories for use with the Unix operating system. It was designed for implementing system software, but is still used today for developing portible application software.
  • ML

    It is a General Purpose language developed by Robin Milner
  • Structured Query

    Created by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce for managing data
  • ADA

    Designed by Jean Ichbiah to replace most other programming language's
  • C++

    Developed as a general purpose programming language by Bjarne Stroustrup
  • Python

    Created by Guido van Rossum to allow programmers to use fewer lines of code.
  • Visual Basic

    Created by Microsoft to be easy to learn and use.
  • PHP

    General purpose language created by Rasmus Lerdorf
  • Delphi

    Created by Borland for console, desktop graphical, web, and mobile applications
  • JavaScript

    Used as a part of web browsers, created by Brendan Eich
  • JAVA

    Created by James Gosling, it allows developers to create programs that run on multiple platform
