Timeline and Key Concepts in Programming History

Detailed Timeline
- 1960s: IBM develops HIPO (Hierarchy plus Input Process Output), a method for planning and

documenting program logic using hierarchy charts and IPO pieces.

- 1979: Bjarne Stroustrup begins development of C++ at Bell Labs as an extension of the C

language.

- 1991: Guido van Rossum creates and first releases Python.

- 1995: James Gosling develops Java at Sun Microsystems, and it is released.

- 1998: The C++ programming language is initially standardised.

- Around 2000: Microsoft develops C# within its .NET initiative.

- 2005: Linus Torvalds creates Git for the development of the Linux kernel.

- Undated: The Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is described as a process for planning,

creating, testing, and deploying information systems, with various models like waterfall, spiral, Agile,

rapid prototyping, and incremental being implemented.

- Undated: Program quality attributes like usability and portability are discussed.

- Undated: Concepts of pseudocode and flowcharts are used for program design and logic

documentation.

- Undated: Software testing methods like code checking and model checking are employed.

- Undated: Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) are used by programmers for software

development, typically containing source code editors, build automation tools, and debuggers.

- Undated: Version control systems, such as Git, are used for managing changes to files and

coordinating work, allowing tracking, recording, experimenting with, and merging revisions.

- Undated: The "Hello World" program is used as a fundamental example in various programming

languages (C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Python, Swift) to demonstrate basic output.

- Undated: Programming fundamentals concepts including data and operators, constants and

variables, identifier names, various data types (integer, floating-point, string, Boolean, nothing),
order of operations, assignment, arithmetic operators (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division,

modulus), integer division, modulus, unary operations (positive and negative), Lvalue and Rvalue

concepts, and data type conversions (implicit and explicit, promotion and demotion) are discussed

and demonstrated.

- Undated: The Input-Process-Output (IPO) model is used to illustrate program structure.

- Undated: Modular programming and the concept of functions (also known as sub-programs,

macros, sub-routines, procedures, or modules) are introduced as a way to break down large

programs into smaller, manageable pieces. Function calls, definitions, and prototypes are

mentioned.
