Imperative Programming Illustration

Imperative Programming

Focuses on describing how a program operates step by step, changing the program state through statements that explicitly specify the sequence of commands.

C FORTRAN BASIC
Object Oriented Programming Diagram

Object-Oriented Programming

Based on the concept of "objects" which can contain data and code: data in the form of fields, and code in the form of procedures.

Java C++ Python
Functional Programming Concept

Functional Programming

Treats computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions and avoids changing state and mutable data.

Haskell Lisp Erlang
Declarative Programming Example

Declarative Programming

Expresses the logic of computation without describing its control flow, focusing on what the program should accomplish.

SQL Prolog HTML
Procedural Programming Flowchart

Procedural Programming

Based on the concept of procedure calls, where procedures contain a series of computational steps to be carried out.

Pascal C ALGOL
Event-Driven Programming Visual

Event-Driven Programming

Program flow is determined by events such as user actions, sensor outputs, or messages from other programs.

JavaScript Visual Basic Node.js

Evolution of Programming

A journey through key moments in programming history

1940s - Assembly Language

The first programming languages were machine code and assembly language, requiring direct manipulation of computer hardware.

1950s - FORTRAN and LISP

First high-level programming languages emerge, with FORTRAN for scientific computing and LISP introducing functional programming.

1960s - COBOL and ALGOL

Business-oriented languages and structured programming concepts begin to take shape.

1970s - C and Smalltalk

C language revolutionizes systems programming, while Smalltalk pioneers object-oriented programming.

1980s - C++ and SQL

Object-oriented programming becomes mainstream with C++, and SQL standardizes database programming.

1990s - Java and JavaScript

The internet era begins, with Java promising platform independence and JavaScript powering web interactivity.

2000s - Python and Ruby

Focus shifts to developer productivity and readable code with the rise of dynamic languages.

2010s - Go, Swift, and Rust

Modern languages focus on safety, concurrency, and performance for cloud and mobile computing.
