Software development paradigms

 Software development paradigms are models that describe how to develop software. Some examples of software development paradigms include:  Declarative paradigm Uses mathematical logic, rules, and constraints to describe data properties and desired outcomes  Logic programming Uses formal logic to represent knowledge by expressing rules and facts  Procedural programming A traditional model that describes how to modify and manipulate variable storage  Rapid application development (RAD) An adaptive software development model that was developed in response to plan-driven waterfall processes  Agile prototyping model A popular model used when customers don't know the exact project requirements  Functional programming A paradigm that uses small, deterministic functions to make code easier to create, test, and debug  Imperative programming An early paradigm that modifies the program's state step by step as the program is running 

Milestone of computing and programming languages

Milestone of computing and programming languages include: the development of assembly language, the creation of Fortran as the first high-level language, the invention of C, the rise of object-oriented programming with languages like C++ and Smalltalk, and the widespread adoption of Java for web and application development.  Important milestones: Early Computing: Assembly Language: One of the first programming languages, allowing programmers to write code closer to machine code than binary instructions.  ENIAC (1946): Considered the first electronic general-purpose computer, paving the way for further computing advancements.  High-Level Languages: Fortran (1957): The first widely used high-level language, introducing concepts like variables and loops, making programming more accessible.  COBOL (1959): Designed for business applications, popular for its readability and ease of use in data processing.  Language Evolution: C (1972): A powerful and flexible language...
