Introduction to Programming Languages

by IntroBooks Team

Overview

Computers form an inevitable part of modern human lives.
Computers ranging from mainframes to smartphones are in use
today. Ever since the advent of programmable computers, a
number of programming languages have come. In simple terms,
a programming language gives instructions to the computer. A
programming language has a syntax and semantics. Unlike
machine codes or assembly language, a high-level language can
be easily understood just like a communication language.
Different languages have different purposes. While some are
used to program huge mainframe computers, some are
object-oriented and yet some others are scripting languages,
mostly used in connection with the web. From FORTRAN to
Swift, computer programming has evolved a lot over the years.
Open sourcing has led to the development of a number of
languages after 1990. The newest ones lay great importance to
mobility, distribution, reliability and security.
