The first person to write a program intended for a machine, Ada Lovelace is known for her contributions to Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine. She outlined a process for the machine to calculate Bernoulli numbers, considered the first algorithm.

A low-level programming language that uses symbols and instructions directly understood by machines. It was first used on the EDSAC computer.

An early family of programming languages that included some of the first compiled languages. Alick Glennie developed this, with notable languages like COBOL and FORTRAN emerging from it.

Developed by John Backus and IBM, FORTRAN stands for Formula Translation and was designed for complex mathematical calculations. It's widely used in scientific computing and NASA applications.

ALGOL stands for Algorithmic Language. It's considered a foundational language that influenced many others, including Pascal, C, C++, and Java. It's known for its simple syntax and use of code blocks.

Developed by Dr. Grace Murray Hopper, COBOL stands for COmmon Business-Oriented Language. It was designed to run on different types of computers and is widely used for business applications. It was integral to the U.S. government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The term 'bug' in software originates from a moth found stuck in a relay of the Harvard Mark II computer in 1947. This event highlighted the need for debugging in software development.

A language known for its speed, it's an extension of C with object-oriented features. Popular for high-performance software like Adobe Photoshop.

A scripting language known for its speed and efficiency. It's commonly used for web development, system administration, and network programming.

A purely functional programming language known for its rich architecture. It's well-suited for large-scale projects and emphasizes mathematical function-based programming.

A widely used language for creating and manipulating matrices, implementing algorithms, and building user interfaces.

A language that combines Smalltalk messaging principles with C, making it suitable for developing applications for Apple's operating systems.

A structured query language widely used for managing databases. It's known for its English-like syntax and its ability to interact with data.

A versatile language known for its readability and relative simplicity compared to earlier programming languages.

A fundamental language that serves as the foundation for many modern programming languages. It's known for its efficiency and low-level control.

The first documented case of a software error, which was caused by a moth stuck in a relay of the Harvard Mark II computer. This incident led to the term "bug" being used to describe software errors.

A list processing language created in 1959 at MIT. LISP is known to be the second oldest high-level programming language after FORTRAN, and its source code is structured as lists. LISP was a popular language for studying artificial intelligence during that era.

Basic programming language meant for beginners, named after "Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code". It was designed for students with limited mathematical knowledge. An updated version of Basic, Visual Basic, was introduced by Microsoft in 1991.

A structured programming language developed in 1970 by Niklaus Wirth, named after French mathematician Blaise Pascal. This language was popular in teaching programming due to its simplicity and was used in early Apple Computer development.

Created at Xerox PARC by Alan Kay's team, Smalltalk is an object-oriented language that influenced many other languages, including C, Python, Ruby, and Java. It's highly influential in web applications, IoT, medicine, and AI, due to its powerful computational abilities.

A general-purpose, procedural programming language, considered the most popular language to date. Developed at Bell Laboratories by Dennis M. Ritchie in 1972, it's used for operating systems, kernels, and many other applications.

The process of finding and fixing errors in a computer program.

A set of instructions that tells a computer how to perform a specific task.

A general-purpose, high-level programming language that supports both object-oriented and functional programming paradigms. It's known for its scalability and runs on the Java Virtual Machine.

A Java-syntax-compatible language for the Java platform known for its dynamic nature and similarities to languages like Python, Ruby, and Smalltalk. It can be used both as a programming and scripting language.

A statically typed, general-purpose programming language developed by JetBrains. It is known for being a modern alternative to Java and being fully interoperable with Java code. It's an official language for Android development.

A robust and intuitive programming language created by Apple. It's specifically designed for building apps for Apple's iOS, Mac, Apple TV, and Apple Watch platforms.

Systems software encompasses the operating system and programming tools of a computer system.

IBM used PL/S (a dialect of PL/I), Digital used BLISS, and Burroughs used Extended ALGOL for systems software.

C and C++ are now more widely used for systems software development.

The World Wide Web relies on various languages, including markup languages like HTML, which isn't a programming language, and general-purpose languages like Java.

Factors like project requirements, team skills, scalability, and performance are considered when choosing languages for web development.

HTML lacks programming logic, conditional statements, event handling, variable declarations, function creation, data manipulation, expression evaluation, and math operations.

Multiple languages and technologies are often combined in a 'web stack,' like using JavaScript for frontend development and Python, Ruby, or Java for backend development.

The first digital computers were developed for tasks involving mathematical calculations, simulations, and analysis. Often used in disciplines like physics, chemistry, and engineering.

Business applications involve software designed for tasks like managing data, financial transactions, inventory, and customer interactions.

This domain involves the development of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, including natural language processing, machine learning, and robotics. It focuses on creating software that can learn, solve problems, and reason like humans.

A programming language designed for scientific applications, it excels at handling complex mathematical operations and allows scientists to customize tools and algorithms for their research.

A popular language for business applications, COBOL (COmmon Business-Oriented Language) was designed to be easily used on various computer systems, enabling efficient handling of large volumes of data in business tasks.

This area encompasses the development of software that controls the core functions of computer systems, such as operating systems, device drivers, and embedded systems.

The use of computers for business applications began in the 1950s. Many modern business applications also use a combination of languages and technologies to leverage the strengths of each for different components of the application. JavaScript  essential for web development and is used to create dynamic and interactive user interfaces in web-based business applications. Swift  a good choice for businesses looking to develop mobile applications for Apple platforms. Kotlin  used for Android app development and is considered an alternative to Java for building Android business applications. The first successful high-level language for business was COBOL and is still the most commonly used language for these applications.

This domain focuses on creating software for the World Wide Web, including websites, web applications, and web services.
