Language                        Description 

BASIC                     Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code is a General Purpose, procedural programming language. It was                                             originally designed to be simple enough for beginners to learn.

 FORTRAN           FORmula TRANslator is a procedural language designed for programming complex mathematical algorithms.

COBOL                Common Business Oriented I anguage is a procedural language designed for business applications.

Pascal                   Pascal is a structured, general-purpose, procedural language designed primarily for teaching programming.

C                          C is a structured, general-purpose, procedural language developed at Bell Laboratories.

C++                      Based on the C language, C++ offers object-oriented features not found in C. C++ was also invented at Bell Laboratories.

C#                        Pronounced “C sharp." It is a language invented by Microsoft for developing applications based on the Microsoft, NET                                     platform.

Java                      Java is an object-oriented language invented at Sun Microsystems. It may be used to develop stand-alone applications that                                 operate on a single computer, applications that run over the Internet from a Web server, and applets that run in a Web                                            browser.

JavaScript            JavaScript is a programming language that can be used in a Web site to perform simple operations. Despite its name,                                             JavaScript is not related to Java.

Perl                       A general-purpose programming language used widely on Internet servers.

PHP                      A programming language used primarily for developing Web server applications and dynamic Web pages.

Python                 Python is an object-oriented programming language used in both business and academia. Many popular Web sites contain                                   features developed in Python.

Ruby                    Ruby is a simple but powerful object-oriented programming language. It can be used for a variety of purposes, from small                                 utility programs to large Web applications.

Visual Basic         Visual Basic is a Microsoft programming language and software development environment that allows programmers to                                          create Windows-based applications quickly
