What is Programming Language?
- Programming Language – refers to the set of instructions and turn to a machine language that can be executed by the computer. There are kinds of programming languages that can be used by a programmer to create his own website, and by doing that the programmer also exercises his thinking skills in identifying some errors or bugs. Programmers use programming as their key to create a design wherein they can express their knowledge. And as generation passed, the technology of web designing and developing will be known because of programming language.
- A programming language is divided into two elements, the syntax and the semantics. Syntactic language are the set of rules that defines the combination of symbols that are considered as correct structured document or fragment, while semantic language is more of field concerned in rigorous mathematical study of the meaning of programming language.
History
- John Mauchly proposed a short code in 1949; it was the one of the first high-level language developed for an electronic computer. Short code was represented as mathematical expression to be understood. However, it should be translated to machine code every time it ran for making the process slower running the equivalent machine code.
- The first programming language was the FORTRAN, it was invented in 1957 and FORTRAN stands for FORmula TRANslating system. It was designed at IBM for scientific computating.
- During the 9th period analytical engine was translated by Ada Lovelace for the memoir of the Italian Mathematician Luigi Menabrea, and this machine was the newest proposal of Charles Babbage.
- Popular Scripting Languages
CSS – known as Cascading Style Sheet, a programming language created for describing the presentation of a document written in a markup language. Style sheet language expresses the presentation of a structured document that can make it more attractive as presented in various ways.
- JavaScript – was one of the three core technologies in the production of
World Wide Web and it is also considered as a high-level programming language that is used to make webpages and provides interactive programs like video games.
- Java – a computer language that is specifically designed for the application developers to write once, run anywhere, meaning the codes run in all kinds of platform that supports Java without the need for recompilation. Java is also one of the most popular language that developers uses particularly for client web-servers application.
- Python – was created by Guido Van Rossum a Dutch programmer who’s known as an author of this language for general-purpose programming, this language released in 1991 as an interpreted language. It has a design philosophy which makes the codes more readable and syntax that programmers can express concepts in fewer lines of codes.
- PHP – known as hypertext preprocessor that is suitable for a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting for major web developing design that is embedded into HTML. PHP codes are enclosed in special start and end processing instructions like <?php and ?> that allows the programmer to jump into and out of PHP mode.
