Different Types Of

Programming Languages
By: Joshua Nguyen

The beginning of programming

Konrad Zuse was the first
person to design a programming
language called Plankalkl for
his computer Z3, which was the
first digital computer.

MASM
MASM is a high level assembler
developed by Microsoft in 1981.
It supports a wide variety of
macro facilities and structured
programming idioms. It takes
code, pre processes it and
converts it to binary.

Cobol
COBOL is a compiled programming
language created by CODASYL in
1959 with it based on a
previous language by Grace
Hopper.
COBOL is used in business,
finance and administrative
systems.

Fortran
Fortran is a general purpose
programming language developed
by John Backus and IBM in 1957.
Fortran was developed for
numeric computation and
scientific computing

Pascal
Pascal is an imperative and
procedural programming language
created by Niklaus Wirth in
1970.
Pascal was created for
structured programming and data
structuring.

C
C is a general purpose
programming language created by
Dennis Ritchie and Bell Labs in
1972.
C is used for developing
operating systems, embedded
systems and device drivers.

C++
C++ is a general programming
language created by Bjarne
Stroustrup in 1983.
It was designed for system
programming but has found many
other uses such as
applications, servers, search
engines and video games.

Java
Java is a concurrent, object
oriented programming language
developed by James Gosling and
Sun Microsystems in 1995.
It was used as a write once,
run anywhere; which means that
it does not need to be
rewritten for other platforms.

 Java apps are compiled to bytecode

that run on a Java Virtual Machine
and can make it run on any computer
regardless of its architecture.
Java was designed to have as few
implementation dependencies as
possible.
It is one of the most popular
programming languages in use right
now.
