Charles Babbage
Invented Difference Engine designed the first computational machine that took punch cards and performed operations. -
Concepts of Programming
John Neumann develops the 2 concepts important to computer programming. The first concept was the "shared programming technique". It strived for computer hardware to be simple. The second concept was "conditional control transfar" which gave rise to computer programming languages to control the computation machines. -
First Computer Language
Short code appeared as the first programming language. -
First compiler
Grace Hopper created the first compiler A-0 -
FORTRAN
FORTRAN was created by John Backus for the purpose of doing high level mathematical, scientific, stastical computations. It is the oldest computer programming language still used to this day, mainly by the government, automative industries, and national weather services. -
LISP
LISP was created by John McCarthy and used for practical mathematical notation. It was later adapted for AI uses. -
ALGOL
ALGOL language was created and used for algorithmic uses. -
COBOL
COBOL was used mainly by firms and buisness comapnies. It had a very Egnlish-like grammar which made it quite easy to learn -
BASIC
BASIC language created by microsoft as a visual programming language. -
Pascal
Pascal language created by Niklaus Wirth and its goal was to be a small and more compact language. It was used mainly just for educational purposes, and due to this was not widely adopted. -

Object oriented
Object oriented programming language created -
C developed
C was developed by Dennis Ritchie in New Jersey. It is the base of every programming language today. -
C++
C++ was developed and released after there were flaws discoverd in C. It is an updated version of C. It is an object oriented programming language and provides low level memory manipulation. -
Pearl
Pearl Language developed by Larry Wall -
Java
Java is an object oriented programming language that is the most common programming language used today. -
Python Programming Language
Python programming developed and released. It is used by websites such as YouTube.
