The document discusses the evolution of programming languages from the first language created in 1883 to modern languages. It provides examples of popular languages such as Python, Ruby, Java, JavaScript, C, and C++. It then categorizes languages by generation from low-level first generation assembly languages to high-level third generation languages like FORTRAN and ALGOL. Fourth generation languages focused on constraint programming while fifth generation languages aimed to reduce software development time and cost.

1. Programming Language Evolution

2. What is a programming language ?
• A programming language is a type of written
language that tells computers what to do
Examples ?
• Python,
• Ruby,
• Java,
• JavaScript,
• C, C++, C#

3. The Journey Of Programming Language
1883
Charles Babbage had made the Computer & Ada Augusta
Lovelace wrote the first programming language.
1949
Assembly Language (Low-level language)
1952 Autocode (First Complied Computer)
1957 FOTRAN (John Backus & IBM)
1958 ALGOL (ALGOrithem Language)

4. 1959 COBOL (Common Business Oriented Language)
1964 BASIC
1972 C (Most Popular Programmer Language till now)

5. Some other programming languages that are
popular among programmers are listed below.
1972 SQL
SQL was developed at IBM by
Doneld D.
1978 MATLAB It stand for Matrix LABoratory.
1983 Objective - C, C++
C++ Hight level programming
language.
1990 Haskell
It is purely functional programming
language.

6. 1991
Python
Famous language among data
scientists and analysts.
1995 JAVA, PHP, JAVA Script
Java is the platform independent
language.
2000 C# C# mainly use for making games.
2009 GO Developed in google.
2011 Kotlin
Developed by Jet brains & use for
making Android games
2014 Swift
This language developed by Apple
Inc.

7. Generations Of Programming
Language

8. • Low level
language
First Generation
Second generation (Assembly
language)
• Low level language, Use the concept of
mnemonics for the writing program.
Third generation (High Level
Languages)
• Designed to overcome the limitations of the
first and second generations. The specialty
is from this generation onwards high level
languages used because they enable the
programmer to concentrate only on logic of
the program without considering internal
architecture.

9. • Mainly focus on constraint
programming. Major fields are
artificial intelligence &
artificial neural network.
Ex: mercury, prolog, OPS5
Fourth generation(Very High Level
Languages)
Fifth generation
• Designed to reduce the time, cost
& effort needed to develop types
of software applications.
Ex: SQL, CSS, ColdFusion
