Database and Programming

• Binary language or machine language

• 1 and 0
• First modern computers were created during
the 1940s
• Assembly language.
• To convert assembly language into a
language that is readable by the computer,
an assembler is used.
• The assembler is the first software tool.
 1950s
• IBM Developed FORTRAN (Formula
Translating System)
• A language that is used for scientific
processing.
• A powerful language that is even used in
supercomputer.
• Remain one of the popular programming
language for 50 years.
 1959
• Data Systems Languages created COBOL
• A programming language for business
use.
• The aim was to make programming
languages English-Like
• So that both programmers and
management could read it.
 1964
• John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz
invented a new programming language
called BASIC.
• (Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic
Instruction Code)
• Designed for timesharing and was
intended to make programming easier for
those with less technical background.
 1968-1969
• Nikolaus Wirth designed Pascal
• A popular programming language that
time.
• It was invented to be a teaching tool.
 1970
• Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie
developed another language called B in
Bell Laboratories.
• Inspired from FORTRAN.
• Another language developed by Ritchie,
which is the C programming language
derived from B and Pascal.
