Named after Ada Lovelace, the programming language ADA was created by Jean Ichbiah. It is a general-purpose language used in several applications. It is able to create larger and complex programs. -
C++
The programming language C++ was created by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1983. It was made to be able to be used in diverse software and platform development requirements. -
Visual Basic
The programming language Visual Basic was created by Alan Cooper but sold to Microsoft. It allows developers to create not only GUI applications, but also very complex applications. -
Python
The programming language Python was created by Guido van Rossum in 1991. It is used in GIS programming and comes in handy when speed is important. -
PHP
The programming language PHP was created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1995. PHP is very useful when it comes to server-side web development. It is typically used to create dynamic web pages/images. -
Delphi
The programming language "Delphi" was created by Anders Hejlsberg in 1995. It is an OOP language and is a great alternative to languages such as Virtual Basic. It is fast and of good quality. -
Java
The programming language Java was created by James Gosling in 1995. Java was designed to be a simpler version of C++ and uses an OOP model. -
Javascript
The language Javascript was created by Brendan Eich in 1995. It is more of a scripting language than a programming language. It commands the browser to do certain things, therefor, all it needs to work is a simple set of codes.
