updated 10-6-2003 Actor is an object-oriented programming language. It was developed by the Whitewater Group in Evanston, Ill. 371.9144 Fu, Joyce H. F949t A textual display program for the dyslexic : an example of object-oriented software development. -- 1991. RID: wln92-35085 ITEM #: act00001 Actor
updated 10-1-2003 Alphard is a computer language designed to support the abstraction and verification techniques required by modern programming methodology. Alphard's constructs allow a programmer to isolate an abstraction, specifying its behavior publicly while localizing knowledge about its implementation. It originated from studies at both Carnegie-Mellon University and the Information Sciences Institute. 001.6424 Alphard : form and content / edited by Mary Shaw A456 RID: 81-18449 ITEM #: alp00001 Alphard
updated 6-24-2002 Assembler, also called Assembly Language, is an assembler. It is also the language which that assembler uses. Symbolic Assembly Language is one dialect. Assembler is a step up from Machine Language, in that it uses some mnemonics, allowing it to be somewhat obvious to a human what is meant without having to resort to deciphering binary codes. It is thus in between Machine Language (actually used by computers) and high-level languages. 651.8 Adams, J. Mack, 1933- A2141i An introduction to computer science / J.

updated 10-1-2003 BCPL was an early computer language. It provided for comments between slashes. The name is condensed from "Basic CPL"; CPL was jointly designed by the universities of Cambridge and London. Officially, the "C" stood first for "Cambridge," then later for "Combined." -- Unofficially it was generally accepted as standing for Christopher Strachey, who was the main impetus behind the language. 005.133 Emery, Glyn B1112e BCPL and C RID: 86-23266 ITEM #: bcp00001 005.133 Stroustrup, Bjarne C111s2 The design and evolution of C++. - [S.l.] : Addison-Wesley, 1994 RID: 93-50758 ITEM #: ccc00061 BCPL
updated 10-3-2003 CLU began to be developed in 1974; a second version was designed in 1977. It consists of a group of modules. One of the primary goals in its development was to provide clusters which permit user-defined types to be treated similarly to built-in types. 001.6424 CLU reference manual C111 RID: 82-211636 ITEM #: clu00001 CLU
updated 10-8-2003 C.A.R. Hoare wrote a paper in 1978 about parallel computing in which he included a fragment of a language. Later, this fragment came to be known as CSP. In it, process specifications lead to process creation and coordination. The name stands for Communicating Sequential Processes. Later, the separate computer language Occam was based on CSP. 005.1 Gelernter, David Hillel G316p Programming linguistics. -- Cambridge, Mass. RID: 90-5485 ITEM #: add00009 CSP
updated 10-6-2003 Data-Text was the "original and most general problem-oriented computer language for social scientists." It has the ability to handle very complicated data processing problems and extremely intricate statistical analyses. It arose when FORTRAN proved inadequate for such uses. Designed by Couch and others, it was first used in 1963/64, then extensively revised in 1971. The Data-Text System was originally programmed in FAP, later in FORTRAN, and finally its own language was developed. 300.2854 Armor, David J A733d Data-text primer RID: 78-165564 ITEM #: dat00001 Data-Text
updated 10-6-2003 "DYNAMO is a computer program for translating mathematical models from an easy-to-understand notation into tabulated and plotted results. ... A model written in DYNAMO consists of a number of algebraic relationships that relate the variables one to another." Although similar to FORTRAN, it is easier to learn and understand. DYNAMO stands for DYNAmic MOdels. It was written by Dr. Phyllis Fox and Alexander L. Pugh, III, and was completed in 1959. It grew out of an earlier language called SIMPLE (for Simulation of Industrial Management Problems with Lots of Equations), written in 1958 by Richard K. Bennett. 510.7834 Pugh, Alexander L P978d DYNAMO user's manual. -- Cambridge, Mass. : 1963 RID: 63-5791 ITEM #: dmo00001 DYNAMO
updated 10-3-2003 Eiffel is a computer language in the public domain. Its evolution is controlled by Nonprofit International Consortium for Eiffel (NICE), but it is open to any interested party. It is intended to treat software construction as a serious engineering enterprise, and therefore is named for the French architect, Gustave Eiffel. It aims to help specify, design, implement, and change quality software. 005.133 Conway, Damian, 1964- P451co Object oriented Perl. - [S.l.] : Manning, 2000 RID: 99-27793 ITEM #: ccc00063 005.133 Meyer, Bertrand, 1950- E34m Eiffel : the language. -- New York : Prentice Hall, 1992.

updated 10-6-2003 GPSS stands for General Purpose Systems Simulator. It is a language for discrete simulation problems based on a block diagram approach. 510.7834 NATO Advanced Study Institute, Villard-de-Lans, 1966 N111p Programming languages. - London : RID: 68-19258 ITEM #: com00002 Q Schriber, Thomas J., 1935- 001.6425 Simulation using GPSS S379s RID: 73-21896 ITEM #: gps00001 GPSS
updated 1-10-2002 Apple Computer Company created a product called HyperCard for use in dealing with hypertext and hypermedia on their Macintosh computer. HyperTalk is HyperCard's programming language. (Hypertext is the use of a computer to automate links and follow their paths from one portion of text to another, going wherever the information which the user seeks is located. Hypermedia is the same idea within a multimedia environment.) 371.3345265 Culp, George H C968e The educator's guide to HyperCard and HyperTalk. - Boston : Allyn and Bacon, 1993 RID: 92-29672 ITEM #: hyp00006 070.5 Cunningham, Steve C973e Electronic publishing on CD-ROM / Steve Cunningham & Judson Rosebush. - Bonn : O'Reilly, 1966 RID: wln97-40205 ITEM #: ccc00037 005.75 Gluck, Myke H998g HyperCard, hypertext and hypermedia for libraries … RID: 89-13651 ITEM #: hyp00001 005.265 Goodman, Danny M152Hg The complete HyperCard handbook 1988 RID: wln88-443679 ITEM #: hyp00002 005.265 Goodman, Danny M152Hg The Hypercard handbook 1.2 upgrade kit 1988a RID: wln89-349705 ITEM #: hyp00003 005.265 Sanders, William B., 1944- M152Hs HyperCard made easy 1989 RID: 88-18525 ITEM #: hyp00004 005.265 Shell, Barry S544c Concise guide to Hypertalk RID: 88-1557 ITEM #: hyp00005 HyperTalk
updated 10-8-2003 Icon is a high-level, general purpose programming language, with many features for processing symbolic data such as strings of chains and structures. Icon grew out of a desire to find a more easily implemented language than SNOBOL. First implemented in 1979 (and written in Ratfor), Icon has been continually developed and refined. It is an expression-level language more powerful than Pascal or C. In Icon, a string of characters IS a value. 005.133 Griswold, Ralph E., 1934- I17g The Icon programming language RID: 82-24078 ITEM #: ico00001 005.133 Griswold, Ralph E., 1934- I17g The Icon programming language / Ralph E. 1990 Griswold and Madge T.
