Jacquard loom
The Jacquard loom is a mechanical loom, invented by Joseph
Marie Jacquard first demonstrated in 1801, that simplifies the
process of manufacturing textiles with such complex patterns
as brocade, damask and matelasse.
Analytical machine
The Analytical Engine/Machine was a proposed
mechanical general-purpose computer designed by English
mathematician and computer pioneer Charles Babbage. It was
first described in 1837 as the successor to Babbage's difference
engine, a design for a mechanical computer.
Punch cards
A punched card, punch card, IBM card, or Hollerith card by
Herman Hollerith is a piece of stiff paper that contained either
commands for controlling automated machinery or data for data
processing applications. Both commands and data were
represented by the presence or absence of holes in predefined
positions.
Turing machine
A Turing machine is the original idealized model of a computer,
invented by Alan Turing in 1936. Turing machines are equivalent
to modern electronic computers at a certain theoretical level, but
differ in many details.

two simulation programming languages,
Simula I and Simula 67, developed in the
1960s at the Norwegian Computing
Center in Oslo, by Ole-Johan
Dahl and Kristen Nygaard. Syntactically,

Smalltalk
The C Programming Language is a wellknown computer programming book written
by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, the latter
of whom originally designed and implemented the
language, as well as co-designed
the Unix operating system with which development
of the language was closely intertwined.
Smalltalk is an object-oriented, dynamically typed,
reflective programming language. Smalltalk was
created as the language to underpin the "new
world" of computing exemplified by "human–
computer symbiosis."

DESCRIPTION
Prolog
Prolog (PROgramming LOGic) rose within the
realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI). It originally
became popular with AI researchers, who know
more about "what" and "how" intelligent behaviour
is achieved.
ML
Standard ML (SML) is a general-purpose,
modular, functionalprogramming language with
compile-time type checking and type inference. It
is popular among compiler writers
and programming language researchers, as well as
in the development of theorem provers.
Scheme
Scheme and Common Lisp are the two
principal dialects of the computer programming
language Lisp. Unlike Common Lisp, however,
Scheme follows a minimalist design philosophy
that specifies a small standard core accompanied
by powerful tools for language extension.
SQL
SQL (Structured Query Language) is a specialpurpose programming language designed for
managing data held in a relational database
management system (RDBMS), or for stream
processing in a relational data stream management
system (RDSMS).

The C++ Programming Language was the first
book to describe the C++ programming language,
written by the language’s creator, Bjarne
Stroustrup, and first published in October 1985. In
the absence of an official standard.
ADA
Ada is a structured, statically typed, imperative,
wide-spectrum, and object-oriented high-level
computer programming language, extended from
Pascal and other languages.
Common LISP
The Common Lisp language was developed as a
standardized and improved successor of Maclisp.
Thus it is not an implementation, but rather a
language specification. Several implementations of
the Common Lisp standard are available,
including free and open source software and
proprietary products.
Eiffel
Eiffel is an ISO-standardized, objectoriented programming language designed
by Bertrand Meyer (an object-orientation
proponent and author of Object-Oriented Software

Python is a widely used general-purpose, highlevel programming language.Its design philosophy
emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows
programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of
code than would be possible in languages such
as C++ or Java. The language provides constructs
intended to enable clear programs on both a small
and large scale.
Ruby
The Ruby Programming Language is the
authoritative guide to Ruby and provides
comprehensive coverage of versions 1.8 and 1.9 of
the language. It was written (and illustrated!) by an
all-star team: David Flanagan, bestselling author

CLOS
The Common Lisp Object System (CLOS) is the
facility for object-oriented programming which is
part of ANSI Common Lisp. CLOS is a
powerful dynamic object system which differs
radically from the OOP facilities found in more
static languages such as C++ or Java. CLOS was
inspired by earlier Lisp object systems such
asMIT Flavors and CommonLOOPS, although it
is more general than either. Originally proposed as
an add-on, CLOS was adopted as part of the ANSI
standard for Common Lisp and has been adapted
into other Lisp dialects like EuLisp or Emacs
Lisp.
Java
Java is a programming language. It was first
developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems,
which is now a part of Oracle Corporation. It was
released in 1995 as a part of Sun
Microsystems' Java platform. The language has
developed much of its syntax from C and C++.

PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext
Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source
general-purpose scripting language that is
especially suited for web development and can
be embedded into HTML.
Rebol
Every programming language must have its
own quirk. Either everything is a string, or you
indent instead of bracing, or it looks like chars
service output, or it emulates classes through
tables. Or it treats strings and other series the
very unusual way. EverythingIsa says
Rebol's quirk is that EverythingIsa "dialect".
Visual Basic
Visual Basic is a legacy third-generation
event-driven programming language and
