This poster represents some of the most influential programming languages past and present, their date of creation, by whom and where, as well as what their intended uses are. I Application I System I Educational I Distribution Good programming is a measured application of art, logic, and engineering prowess. To master all three, one must be knowledgeable not only on what the current code entails, but also the past evolutions that have led to this moment.
