B
Developers: Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie -
Primarily used for non-numeric applications such as system programming. These typically involve complex logical decision-making, and processing of integers, characters, and bit strings.
My be a contraction of BCPL. -
PASCAL
Developers: Niklaus Wirth -
A small, efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring. easy to read, very clean.
Named after 17th century mathematician Blaise Pascal. -
C
Developers: Brian Kernighan, Dennis Ritchie -
A general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. -
ML
Developers: Robin Milner -
A general-purpose, modular, functional programming language with compile-time type checking and type inference.
Meta Language -
SQL
Developers: Donald D. Chamberlin, Raymond F. Boyce -

ADA
Developers: Jean Ichbiah, S. Tucker Taft -
structured, statically typed, imperative, wide-spectrum, and object-oriented high-level computer programming language, extended from Pascal and other languages.
Named after Ada Lovelace -
C++
Developers: Bjarne Stroustrup -
a general-purpose object-oriented programming (OOP) language and is an extension of the C language. -
Python
Developers: Guido Van Rossum -
A script language that can be used for web programming, as well as desktop applications. Emphasizes code readability, and a syntax that allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code.
Named after Monty Python -
Visual Basic
Developers: Alan Cooper -
A programming environment from Microsoft in which a programmer uses a graphical user interface to choose and modify pres-elected sections of code written in the BASIC programming language. -
Delphi
Developers: Larry Tesler -
Both an object oriented programming language (OOP) and an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Delphi is an alternative to language such as Visual Basic offering development with both rapidity and good quality. -
Java
Developers: James Gosling -
A general-purpose computer-programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. -
Javascript
Developers: Brendan Eich -
Most commonly used as a client side scripting language. -
PHP
Developers: Rasmus Lerdorf -
A widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML.
