Programming Languages history poster

Thursday, May 20th, 2004

“For 50 years, computer programmers have been writing code. New technologies continue to emerge, develop, and mature at a rapid pace. Now there are more than 2,500 documented programming languages! O’Reilly has produced a poster called History of Programming Languages (PDF), which plots over 50 programming languages on a multi-layered, color-coded timeline.”

Here’s the Full story (and PDF) at O’reilly.. though I like the original version better. It’s also more printable.

I already printed out the History of Unix poster from the same guy. All 18 pages.
