Borland C++ Libraries[edit] Object Windows Library (OWL): A set of C++ classes to make it easier to develop professional graphical Windows applications.

Borland C++

Borland Graphics Interface: A library of functions for doing simple, presentation-style 2D graphics. Drivers were included for generic CGA, EGA and VGA capability, with support for a limited number of video-modes, but more advanced, third-party drivers were also available. Add-ons[edit] Borland Power Pack for DOS: Used to create 16- and 32-bit protected mode DOS applications, which can access a limited scope of the Windows API and call functions in any Windows DLL. Version History[edit] Programming paradigm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Profile.

A programming paradigm is a fundamental style of computer programming, a way of building the structure and elements of computer programs.

Programming paradigm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Profile

Capablities and styles of various programming languages are defined by their supported programming paradigms; some programming languages are designed to follow only one paradigm, while others support multiple paradigms. There are six main programming paradigms: imperative, declarative, functional, object-oriented, logic and symbolic programming.[1][2][3] Overview[edit] HomePage - Kwiki.

I don't see how BASIC existed in splendid isolation excepAside from the name, Visual Basic and BASIC have very little in common. this the great Poster Thanks :Mohsen Basirat I'm somewhat distraught that Ruby isn't on the poster :Daniel Berger.

GHC/Data Parallel Haskell

DPH is a fantastic effort, but it's not the only way to do parallelism in Haskell. Try the Parallel Haskell portal for a more general view. Data Parallel Haskell is the codename for an extension to the Glasgow Haskell Compiler and its libraries to support nested data parallelism with a focus to utilise multicore CPUs. Nested data parallelism extends the programming model of flat data parallelism, as known from parallel Fortran dialects, to irregular parallel computations (such as divide-and-conquer algorithms) and irregular data structures (such as sparse matrices and tree structures).

This is the performance of a dot product of two vectors of 10 million doubles each using Data Parallel Haskell. 1.1 Project status Data Parallel Haskell (DPH) is available as an add-on for GHC 7.4 in the form of a few separate cabal package. DPH focuses on irregular data parallelism. Note: This page describes version 0.6.* of the DPH libraries. Haskell. Ghosts in the Machine: 12 Coding Languages That Never Took Off.

The Short Version: QuickBasic is a programming language developed by Microsoft for use in the MS-DOS operating system. Introduction to QuickBasic. PRACTICAL MATHEMATICS Microsoft QuickBasic is a modern form of BASIC which is easy to learn.

Introduction to QuickBasic

Learning QuickBasic will help you to learn Visual Basic and other programming languages. A simplified version is QBasic. These notes give enough of QBasic for simple mathematical applications. Use the Help menu on the computer to learn more, or look at the following books: Halvorson, M., and Rygmyr, D., 1989, Learn Basic Now, Microsoft Press. BASIC. BASIC (an acronym for Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is a family of general-purpose, high-level programming languages whose design philosophy emphasizes ease of use.

BASIC

In 1964, John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz designed the original BASIC language at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. They wanted to enable students in fields other than science and mathematics to use computers. At the time, nearly all use of computers required writing custom software, which was something only scientists and mathematicians tended to learn how to use. Versions of BASIC became widespread on microcomputers in the mid-1970s and 1980s. REXX. Rexx is supplied with VM/SP on up, TSO/E Version 2 on up, OS/2 (1.3 on up), AmigaOS Version 2 on up, PC DOS (7.0 or 2000), and Windows NT 4.0 (Resource Kit: Regina).

REXX

REXX scripts for OS/2 share the filename extension .cmd with other scripting languages, and the first line of the script specifies the interpreter to be used. A Rexx script or command is sometimes referred to as an EXEC in a nod to Rexx's role as a replacement for the older EXEC command language on CP/CMS and VM/370 and EXEC 2 command language on VM/SP.

Features[edit] Rexx has the following characteristics and features: Rexx has just twenty-three, largely self-evident, instructions (such as call, parse, and select) with minimal punctuation and formatting requirements. Rexx's syntax looks similar to PL/I, but has fewer notations; this makes it harder to parse (by program) but easier to use, except for cases where PL/I habits may lead to surprises.
