John Warner Backus (December 3, 1924 – March 17, 2007) was an American computer scientist.He led the team that invented and implemented FORTRAN, the first widely used high-level programming language, and was the inventor of the Backus–Naur form (BNF), a widely used notation to define syntaxes of formal languages.
The first high-level language to have an associated compiler was created by Corrado Böhm in 1951, for his PhD thesis. [3] The first commercially available language was FORTRAN (FORmula TRANslation), developed in 1956 (first manual appeared in 1956, but first developed in 1954) by a team led by John Backus at IBM.
FORTRAN was developed by a team led by John Backus at IBM in the 1950s. The first compiler was released in 1957. The first compiler was released in 1957. The language proved so popular for scientific and technical computing that by 1963 all major manufacturers had implemented or announced FORTRAN for their computers.
A single program deck, with individual subroutines marked. The markings show the effects of editing, as cards are replaced or reordered. Many early programming languages, including FORTRAN, COBOL and the various IBM assembler languages, used only the first 72 columns of a card – a tradition that traces back to the IBM 711 card reader used on the IBM 704/709/7090/7094 series (especially the ...

First introduced in the late 1950s, Fortran, ALGOL, and COBOL are examples of early 3GLs. Most popular general-purpose languages today, such as C , C++ , C# , Java , and BASIC , are also third-generation languages, although each of these languages can be further subdivided into other categories based on other contemporary traits.
