Along with the computer history computer programming history also have different stages. Each stage has a different language innovation for many purposes. Now a days hundreds of programing languages are available for regular usages. First of all have to know the history of computer programming.

Language for all: Many programming languages developed in the early days for the all purposes, the programming languages developed for the academic and industrial purposes. Here the languages are useful for single functional purpose.

Example: FORTAN Its purpose was to use it in the mathematical functions, COBAL was the business purpose introductory language.

Combination of languages: After the first stage, the users have the needs of using languages for more than single purpose. In 1970 some languages were introduced for the multiple uses. Languages like PASCAL and PROLOG and C language were also introduced, all these languages are object oriented languages.

Object oriented languages: Object oriented languages introduced with C, here many modules come for the object to perform a task. Many functions developed at this stage.

Businesses and Mainframe languages: After the developing of object oriented languages, the usage of languages in business and work stations was increased. In the period of 1980, C++ comes with the advances of C language, many languages performing with remote data facilities.

Modern languages: After 1990, computer usage increased, many programming languages emerged with advanced benefits. Many programming languages come with additional features like functional advances and security facilities. Many languages developed in these period are C#, Python, Java, Java script etc.

Presently many languages comes with advanced features and increased its using for many functional purposes. The programming languages provide automatic data savings and prove more data security facilities.
