Learning System Languages

System Language map

The system languages are the languages with which most of the operating systems such as Mainframe, Unix, Macintosh, DOS, Windows are architected. All automated factory products from a toaster to TV Box have embedded operating systems and all are programmed by system languages.

    Assembler: Assembler is the most alive language for system development.  It is still for decades used in the industry.   For example IBM PC motherboard's BIOS system is programmed with Assembler.   This is one of the system languages that have borned from IBM. Assembler is a machine level language which is often called low level language.

  • Assembly Syntax
  • Basic: Basic is a good old computer programming language. It even evolved before the birth of IBM. It was extensively used by Microsoft and Apple.  Many portions of DOS and Windows 3.1 are programmed with Basic.  Apple's first operating system Macintosh was programmed with Basic. From this language Mircosoft gave birth to an Object Oriented programming langyage Visual Basic. By learning Visual Basic will give enough insight into Basic language. As Basic Visual Basic, despite of it is being Object Oriented, is an interpretive language.

  • Visual Basic Syntax
  • Topic Fortran: Fortran is the scientific language of IBM. Still it is very much used in the industries to calculate statistics and other suphisticated arithmetic functions. Xbase programmers such as FoxPro, dBase, and Clipper database programmer can get basic as well as sophisticated ideas from learning Fortran. In many insurence and actuary services have xBase integrated with Fortran.

  • Fortran Syntax
  • Topic C: C is the one of the modern language that brought the revolution in the programming arena.  It is the language that is not the product of IBM.  It came from the AT&T lab.  Unix operating system is programmed with the C.

  • C Syntax
  • Topic C++: C++ is one of the most revolutionary Object Oriented programming languages that is most used in these days in every industries from operating system, and embedded system programming to Internet application development such as CGI. 

  • C++ Syntax

It is very important to learn these programming languages as a foundation for every higher level of programming skills.   Without the knowledge and experience of one or more system language it is hard to develop applications, scripts, and databases.  The forth generation languages such as SQL, Javascript, or VBScript need the understanding of system languages.  All in all, the Internet technology and its e-commerce cannot be developed without the database and script programming.
