This document discusses different types of programming languages including procedural languages, object-oriented programming, visual languages, markup languages, and scripting languages. Procedural languages break tasks into procedures or subroutines. Object-oriented programming breaks programs into objects that can perform tasks and communicate. Visual languages have graphical user interfaces and allow programming via forms and objects. Markup languages use tags to structure text and include images. Scripting languages can be typed directly and are often used to automate tasks. The best choice of language depends on factors like organizational needs and resources.
