Programming language

A programming language is a computer language programmers use to develop applications,scripts, or other set of instructions for a computer to execute. Below is a listing of several different programming languages and scripting languages currently listed in our database.

ALGOL Ada AIML Assembly BASIC Batchfile BCPL C C# C++ COBOL CPL D DarkBASIC dBASE

FORTRAN FoxPro HDML HTML Java JavaScript JCL LISP Live Script LOGO Pascal Perl PHP Pick

Prolog Ruby SGML Smalltalk SQL Tcl True BASIC VHDL Visual Basic Visual FoxPro WML WHTML XML

Note: There are several programming languages listed above that may not be listed in a category below that they are capable of doing. Instead of listing every language under every category below, we have just listed some of the more popular choices for each category.

Users who are new to computer programming may find the above list confusing and may not be sure where to start. Where to start really depends on the computer programming you wish to do. Below is a listing of some of the different fields of programming as well as what language you should consider for each of these fields.

Application and Program development
Artificial Intelligence development
Database development
Game development
Computer drivers or other hardware interface development
Internet and web page development
Script development

Applications and Program development

Application and program development involves programs you work on a daily bases. For example, the Internet browser you are using to view this web page is considered a program. If you are interested in writing your own programs you should consider the below languages.

• C
• C#
• C++
• D
• Java
• Tcl
• Visual Basic

Artificial Intelligence development

Artificial Intelligence or related fields could involve anything from creating the character interactions in computer games, portions of programs that make the decisions in programs,chatbots, or any other related programs. If you're interested in writing your own AI you should consider the below languages.

• AIML
• C
• C#
• C++
• Prolog

Database development

Database developers create and maintain databases. If you're interested in creating your own database or maintaining other databases you should consider any of the below languages.

• DBASE
• FoxPro
• MySQL
• SQL
• Visual FoxPro

Game development

Game development involves the development of computer games or other entertainment software. If you're interested in writing your own games you should consider the below languages.

• C
• C#
• C++
• DarkBASIC
• Java

Computer drivers or other hardware interface development

Computer drivers and programming hardware interface support is a necessity for computers to operate with the hardware; without it your computer wouldn't work. If you're interested in writing your own drivers or software interfaces for hardware devices you should consider the below languages.

• Assembly
• C

Internet and web page development

The Internet and web page development is the essence of the Internet, without developers we would have no Internet. If you're interested in creating your own web pages, developing Internet applications, or Internet related tasks, you should consider the below languages.

• HDML
• HTML
• Java
• JavaScript
• Perl
• PHP
• XML

Script development

Although not likely to be a career, knowing how to create and develop scripts to increase your productivity or your company's can save you countless hours. If you're interested in developing your own scripts you should consider the below languages.

• awk
• bash
• Batchfile
• Perl
• Tcl

Types of computer languages

As we human beings communicate with each others in different language such as Urdu, French, Punjabi and Arabic etc. Similarly to communicate with the computers we have to use specific languages and for this purpose hundreds of languages have been develop in which few of them has gained international reputation. C language is one of them,. Language can be categories broadly into three categories.

·    MACHINE LANGUAGE:  The most elementary and first type of computer, which was invented, was machine language. Machine language was machine dependent. A program written in machine language cannot be run on another type of computer without significant alterations. Machine language is some times also referred as the binary language i-e, the language of 0 and 1 where 0 stands for the absence of electric pulse and i stands for the presence of electric pulse. Very few computer programs are actually written in machine language.

·     ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE: As computer became more popular, it became quite apparent that machine language programming was simply too slow slow tedious for most programmers. Assembly languages are also called as low level language instead of using the  string of members programmers began using English like abbreviation to represent the elementary operation. The language provided an opportunity to the programmers to use English like words that were called MNEMONICS.

·      HIGH LEVEL LANGUAGE: The assembly languages started using English like words,m but still it was difficult to learn these languages. High level languages are the computer language in which it is much easier to write a program than the low level language. A program written in high level language is just like gibing instruction to person in daily life. It was in 1957 that a high level language called FORTRAN was developed by IBM which was specially developed for scientist and engineers other high level languages are COBOL which is widely used for business data processing task.BASIC language which is developed for the beginners in general purpose programming language.
