Hello Friends! Welcome to Hertzsoft YouTube Channel!
In today's video we are going to see about History of Computer and Programming Languages
So come on let's begin!
This story begins from 16th century
when there were some people who had excellent Maths and Problem-solving abilities
These people were known as "Computers".
Now we will talk about 19th Century
In 1822, Charles Babbage (Mathematician) decided to make his own Computer
Hence he is also known as "Father of Computer"
He wanted to make a Mechanical Computer
He also took his student named Ada Lovelace along with him,
so that she can make a programming language for that computer.
He was just about to complete his computer and test it,
but unfortunately, he passed away and was unable to complete his work.
But this 17-year-old Ada Lovelace made World's First Programming Language
Now we will talk about 1936. In 1936,
Alan Turing (Great Scientist) decided to make his own computer.
He made this during World War II, to convert cipher text into plain text
And it is said that due to his machine millions of lives were saved.
He is also known as "Father of Modern Computer" or "Father of Theory of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence".
If you are interested to learn more about him,
Hollywood has made a complete biopic on him in year 2014 titled "The Imitation Game"
You can watch this movie.
Now, we will discuss about 1940's,
In 1940's people realised that it is difficult to work on Mechanical Computer
So we need Electronic Computers. So people invented Electronic computers
And thereafter, binary language was started.
As I explained in my previous video as well, it is difficult to work on binary language
So we needed a language which can be easy to work with.
So even there, a lady named Kathleen Booth, 25 years old stood up to fight for a cause
And in 1947, she invented First Assembly Language
Now, let's discuss about 1950's
In 1950's many languages were invented out of which few became famous whereas few did not become famous.
For example, in 1952, the first language named Autocode was invented which was world's first compiled language.
In 1955, a language named Flow-Matic was invented which was used for Data Processing.
In 1956, Information Processing Language (IPL) was invented
But all these languages didn't became much famous, the languages that became famous are,
In 1957, Formula Translator system (FORTRAN) was invented which is a general purpose language.
In 1958, List Processing (LISP) was invented
This was actually invented for Maths Problems but later it was taken in use for AI as well.
At last in 1960, Common Business Oriented Language (COBOL) was invented
So this is the story of 1950's
Now we will discuss about 1960's
In 1964, the first language that was invented was A Programming Language (APL)
Also in 1964, the second language that was invented was Beginners All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code (BASIC)
From 1962-1967 another language came up which is known as Simula.
This was world's first Object-Oriented Programming Language (OOP)
In 1967,  another language came up known as Basic CPL (BCPL)
In 1969, this same language was used to derive a new language known as B Programming Language
In 1970, PASCAL was invented which was very easy to learn and understand.
So, this was the story of 1960's.
Now we will discuss about 1970's
In 1970 people wished to redefine UNIX operating system.
But previous languages were not sufficient to do this task,
So people planned to define a new programming language
At that time, great programmers, Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritche together invented a new language known as C Programming Language.
This language became very popular.
In 1970's, IBM invented Structured Query Language (SQL)
This is used for Relational Database Management System.
Now we will discuss about 1980's.
In 1980's, in 1984, Brad Cox invented Objective C which is an Object-Oriented Programming Language
In 1985,  Bjarne Stroustrup modified C Programming Langauge and invented C++
Again this is an Object-Oriented Programming Language.
In 1987, Practical Extraction & Report Language (PERL)
Now we will discuss about 1990's which I would like to call as Internet Era
In 1990, the first language that was invented by Tim Berner's Lee was HyperText Markup Language (HTML).
This is used to design web pages.
In 1991, Guido Van Rossum invented his first language Python Programming
This language became very famous and is now used as the number 1 language.
In 1994, PHP language was invented which is used as a backend language for web development.
In 1995, Ruby was invented which is again a very famous language.
In 1995, James Gosling while working in Sun Microsystems invented Java Programming Language.
In 1995, a language named LIVESCRIPT was invented which was used as a client-side language for web development.
This language was actually too good but still was unable to become popular.
So, Sun Microsystems gave Java's Trademark to this language and LIVESCRIPT was renamed as JAVASCRIPT.
In 1997, Microsoft desired to purchase Java
But Sun Microsystems strictly denied this offer.
So Microsoft felt bad about it,
So Microsoft copied many concepts of Java and invented it's own language known as C# which is pronounced as C Sharp.
So this was the story of 1990's
Now we will discuss about our 21st Century.
In 2003, a new language was invented known as Scala which is a general-purpose language.
In 2009, Go was invented which is a general-purpose language, getting very famous
And it's syntax is much more similar to C Programming.
One of it's reason is, one of the developer in Google Development Team was Ken Thompson who invented C Programming.
So this was the story of 2000's
Now we will discuss about 2010's
In 2011, Jetbrains invented new programming language known as Kotlin.
In 2017, Google granted Kotlin support for Android App Development.
In 2019, Google announced Kotlin as "Preferred Language" instead of Java.
In 2013, Google invented Dart Programming Language.
In 2014, Apple invented Swift Programming Language which is used for Mac and iOS App Development.
Earlier, Objective C was used, now Swift is being used.
In 2014, Facebook invented Hack Programming Language.
But we don't stop here.
If you will check Wikipedia or any online resource, you will get a list of thousands of programming languages.
But we have only shown a few important things here.
So if we have missed any important language.
