  Programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Programming languages are used to facilitate communication about the task of organizing and manipulating information, and to express algorithms precisely.
The combination of the language definition, the program, and the program's inputs must fully specify the external behavior that occurs when the program is executed.
Programming language syntax is usually defined using a combination of regular expressions (for lexical structure) and Backus-Naur Form (for grammatical structure).

 HighBeam Encyclopedia - programming language
All computers operate by following machine language programs, a long sequence of instructions called machine code that is addressed to the hardware of the computer and is written in binary notation (see numeration), which uses only the digits 1 and 0.
These include the programming languages of several database and statistical programs, the scripting languages of communications programs, and the macro languages of word-processing programs.
With some languages, such as C or Pascal, the program is turned into a separate machine language program by a compiler, which functions much as an assembler does.

 What is Z?
Z state variables are like instance variables and the operations are like methods; Z even provides a kind of inheritance.
Z is just a notation, it is not a method; the Z notation can support many different methods.
The first Z reference manual to be widely published benefited from this long experience when it finally appeared in 1989.

 Programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Languages can be classified with respect to their type systems.
Strongly-typed languages are often termed type-safe or safe, but they do not make bugs impossible.
Module systems were often wedded to generic programming constructs.

 The Scheme Programming Language
Scheme is a statically scoped and properly tail-recursive dialect of the Lisp programming language invented by Guy Lewis Steele Jr.
Scheme was one of the first programming languages to incorporate first class procedures as in the lambda calculus, thereby proving the usefulness of static scope rules and block structure in a dynamically typed language.
PLT Scheme is an umbrella name for a family of implementations of the Scheme programming language.

 Programming
Z Interpreter: implements most of the Z langauge (see below) I devised.
Technically, this is RZ3 (RANDY'S Z, number 3) because I have 2 unreleased languages also called Z which were made before this one, but unless I release them I shall simply call this Z. The Z programming language is an esoteric programming language (that is, it is intentionally strange).
If anyone is interested, I have written a Z compiler in Z which implements part of the standard (enough to compile itself).

 The Goedel Programming Language
Gödel is a declarative, general-purpose programming language in the family of logic programming languages.
This means that theoreticians can apply their "pure" theories of program transformation, program analysis, etc., more or less directly to Gödel and do not have to be concerned with complications of extending their theories to cope with the many non-logical aspects of languages such as Prolog.
Gödel is developed by Antony Bowers and John Lloyd at the University of Bristol and Pat Hill at the University of Leeds.

 Ulf's Programming Language List
ASL (Activity Structures Language), a software process language (modelling formalism), is a proper superset of MSL (Marvel Strategy Language) -- used to express the "local" constraints and policies on individual tools and data -- extended by Roddle's "acticivity structures" for global control flow and synchronization.
Mozart is based on the Oz language, which supports declarative programming, object-oriented programming, constraint programming, and concurrency as part of a coherent whole.
Cyclone is a programming language that is as C-like as possible while preventing unsafe behavior (buffer overflows, dangling pointers, format string attacks, and so on).

 The Arbol Programming Language
Arbol is primary developed to serve as a programming language for Genetic Programming experiments.
It is functional programming language inspired by the ideas of other small and esoteric languages (Unlambda, Lazy K, Joy, Iota, Zot,...) and purely functional language Haskell (the STG machine).
Where Z is the name of the pattern (definition) and the a,b,c,d,e,f,...,z are variables.

 The Unlambda Programming Language
A note on terminology: The phrase “purely functional programming language” is usually applied to languages, like Haskell or Clean, which are lazy and demand explicit sequencing of side effects.
If the underlying language does not have first-class functions, then they must be emulated by means of data structures (indeed, the only “variable” part in a first-class function is its closure, and that can be represented by a data structure, since the code is always the same).
As in any language having first-class (higher-order) functions, and, therefore, escaping closures, the lifetime of the various structures is not statically determined in Unlambda, and some kind of automatic memory management (aka “garbage collection”) is necessary.

 Computer Programming [encyclopedia]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Programs can be built into the hardware itself, or they may exist independently in a form known as software.
Compiled programs written in languages such as FORTRAN and C or C++ aren't directly executable by a computer; they are translated into lower-level machine language by compilers and then are executed directly by the hardware.
Object-oriented programming is a method of implementation in which programs are organized as cooperative collections of objects, each of which represents an instance of some class, and whose classes are all members of a hierarchy of classes united via inheritance relationship.

 Esoteric Programming Language
An esoteric programming language is a language not specifically designed for efficient or elegant solutions of computational problems, but rather to explore the basic ideas behind the theory of computation or weird ideas like, for example, recipe-reminiscent syntax.
Similar to ObfuscatedCee, programming in twisted, or bizarre languages is a favorite hobby of many masochistic hackers and programming language theorists.
Building a Brainfuck interpreter is often a very useful test of a new (serious) programming language's usability, and Brainfuck has spawned several other esoteric languages with novel ideas for representing code (PathLanguage, SnuspLanguage).

 comp.specification.z Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Z (pronounced `zed') is a formal specification notation based on set theory and first order predicate logic.
The leading object-oriented version of Z is Object-Z. See: http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~smith/objectz.html Subject: How can I run Z? Z is a (non-executable in general) specification language, so there is no such thing as a Z compiler/linker/etc. as you would expect for a programming language.
Some people have looked at animating subsets of Z for rapid prototyping purposes, using logic and functional programming for example, but this is not really the major point of Z, which is to increase human understandability of the specified system and allow the possibility of formal reasoning and development.

 Amazon.com: The C Programming Language (2nd Edition): Books: Brian W. Kernighan,Dennis Ritchie,Dennis M. Ritchie   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The book focuses on the language itself - this is no hands-on book (no explanations on how to use this compiler or that debugger, though it is a little biased toward Unix) in a clear, concise, and thorough way covering all of the language and it's standard libraries.
This book is *not* for people who study C as their first programming language (those would be better served with a pair of books - a first course in programming and compiler guide).
Authored by the guy who invented the C language and the first edition of the book being the known standard for C for over a decade, this book is one of those unique books that is a must read if you want to learn how to program.
