Evolution Of Programming Languages (1 Viewer)

[Osmo]

Hey, does anyone have notes on the: Evolution Of Programming Languages.

Because i am not able to find any, and my text book or my work sheets, have nothing one them

thanx

 

[iptteacherssuck]

too bad! lol

 

[Osmo]

anyone ?

please i need help

 

[Dan_the_man]

Ido evolution of programming languages..... it's quite boring.... email me at boyle24@hotmail.com and I'll send u some notes

1st gen - machine code
2nd gen - assesmbly language ( more english inserted )
3rd gen - high level programming language ( even more english inserted) this is mainly the use of CASE tools, i.e. wizzards etc. some e.g.s are c++ java etc. (i think, correct me if im wrong).
4th gen - smart language ( basicly english, im not sure where this is used, but you can program in english)
5th gen - artifical intelligence. of course not implemented yet, that i know off.

4GL- eg SQL (structured query language)

 

[sunny]

5th gen has been implemented - Prolog is a common one.

Whoa! Be careful, the syllabus for this topic doesn't deal with generations of languages, but with paradigms. So if you talk about generations (like 1st, 2nd, 3rd...) in an exam I'm not sure you'd get marks.*

If you look at the syllabus you'll find the different generations are not even in the syllabus. The Evo option is all about programming paradigms and, paradoxically, has little to do with the evolution of progamming languages.

* EDIT: I'd now say "You wouldn't get marks talking about generations if the question asked about paradigms. In other questions, though, it might work. It depends on the question..."

true, you wouldn't get any marks... but i'm sure you'd still be expected to have some sort of understanding of the concepts since its in the prelim course (is it? can't remember... too far back!)

or you could argue that it all adds to a more complete band 6 higher level blooms taxonomy answer

Yeah, the generations were in the preliminary course.

You could talk about generations to "Explain reasons for the emergence of the logic/object-oriented/functional paradigm".
SO if you use it, it would show you are "synthesising" information - which is the highest level of human thought according to Bloom's Taxonomy
My thoughts: never mind that you could simply remember answers to questions that showed synthesis, without actually understanding what you're remembering...

but the two don't really correlate. do they? i'm still not sure where anything fits in. i'm so confused. didn't learn anything all year. glad its all over. i wouldn't talk about generations in that question mainly because i don't get it. but since they can ask prelim stuff, i reckon they could have asked a question staight out about generations. but that would be slack. actually i feel like i'm synethesising information here because i have no idea what i'm talking about

did you have a teacher obsessed about blooms taxonomy too?

the whole test was synthesising information... making up answers on thes pot which should have been taught during the year.

my dad has a diagram, where all SDD languages are listed, and it shows their developent, and how some developed into others etc...
how VB and DELPHI both came from basic etc...
its really mad, i will try and get the link

Osmo, post your e-mail address and I'll send you my SDD notes from last year. I did Evolution of Programming Languages as well.

yeahp

delphi came from VB 1.0 and Pascal...

PHP came from Perl 5.0

i have a 3 page graph on the wall in my dads office...
with dates and everything
