Where was the BASIC programming language developed?

Answer 1

1801. Joseph Marie Jacquard's mechanical loom took input in the form of punch cards laced together to form a chain and produced an output in the form of woven cloth. By any definition, Jacquard's "machine code" was arguably the first programming language as we know it today. Whether we regard a loom as being a computer or not is immaterial when discussing programming languages.

1833. Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine used a similar principal (punch cards) and although the device was never built, the design included the machine code necessary to program it. There was an attempt to fund construction of a working model in 2010 which failed to materialise. However, in 1991, another of his designs, Difference Engine No. 2 which evolved from his work on the earlier Difference Engine and Analytical Engine, was built and proved his designs were sound. Babbage is posthumously known as the "father of the computer" and it can easily be argued that his "machine code" was the first computer programming language.

Of course we had analog computers long before Babbage. A slide-rule is a typical example. They were programmable in a sense, but whether we can call them programming languages is debatable.

Answer 2

Nope first high level computer programing language was FORTRAN made for IBM in 1954.

The first computers were programed with binary or machine language which is how a commuter thinks, just on's and offs!

The second was assembly language kind of a short cut machine language. A simple instruction to read the keyboard would take pages in machine language but just a few lines in assembly language.

Basic was written in 1964 for students to learn programing.

What was the first electronic computer, Not ENIAC. But Colossus made in UK to break the Hitlers code. It was kept a secret until the 1970's

Answer 3

Lady Ada Lovelace is commonly cited as being the mathematician responsible for working on the first computer's logic for Charles Babbage, the inventor of the first analog computer, and is considered the mother of all computer programming.

Answer 4

John Kemeny and Thomas Kurthz found Basic language. Basic and Fortran are one of the oldest programming languages in history.

Answer 5

John George Kemeny and Thomas Eugene Kurtz.

Answer 6

BASIC was originally designed by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz in 1964.

Answer 7

BASIC (Beginner's All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) was developed in Dartmouth College, New Hampshire USA, in 1964.

Answer 8

Dartmouth College
