  2. Why Study Programming Languages? • Improve ability to develop algorithms • Improve use of programming languages • Increase vocabulary of programming constructs • Allow better choice of Programming Languages • Facilitate learning new languages • Facilitate designing new languages

  3. Short History • FORTRAN 1957 • Algol 1958 • COBOL 1960 • LISP 1960 • C 1972

  4. Software Architecture • Batch • Interactive • Personal computer • Embedded systems • Distributed computing • Internet

  5. Application Domains • Business • Scientific • System • Artificial Intelligence • Publishing • Process

  6. Influences for Language Modification • Computer capabilities • Applications • Programming methods • Implementation methods • Theoretical studies • Standardization

  7. Attributes of a Good Language • Clarity, simplicity, unity • Orthogonality • Naturalness to application • Support for abstraction • Ease of program verification

  8. Good Attributes (cont.) • Programming environment • Portability of programs • Cost of use • Execution • Translation • Creation, testing, use • Maintenance

  9. SyntaxandSemantics

  10. Language Paradigms • Imperative • Applicative • Rule-based • Object-oriented

  11. Language Standardization • Proprietary standards • Consensus standards • Timeliness • Conformance • Obsolencence

  12. Internationalization • Alphabet and collating sequence • Date format • Time format • Currency • Time zones • Ideographic systems

  13. Programming Environments • Editor, compiler, debugger, etc. • Interpretation • Separate compilation and linking • Testing and debugging
