The history of software development is relatively short but remarkably dynamic. The journey began in the mid-20th century with the advent of the first programmable computers. Early programming languages like Fortran and COBOL laid the groundwork for future advancements, allowing programmers to write more complex and efficient code. The 1980s and 1990s saw a boom in personal computing, with companies like Microsoft and Apple leading the charge. During this period, software development became more user-centric, focusing on creating applications that were not only functional but also accessible to the average person. The introduction of object-oriented programming languages like C++ and Java revolutionized how software was developed, making it easier to manage and reuse code.
The rise of the internet in the late 1990s and early 2000s brought about another paradigm shift. Web development became a crucial aspect of software development, with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript forming the foundation of the modern web. Open-source projects like Linux and collaborative platforms like GitHub have further democratized software development, enabling developers worldwide to contribute to and benefit from shared knowledge and resources.
