Four decades ago mainframe computing driven by Assembler languages and 3GL’s such as Cobol, Fortran and Pascal  introduced IT to mainstream business users. These made way for more agile computing models with object based languages such as C++ coming to the fore. Presently, much commercial software is based around Sun Java or Microsoft .net frameworks. Coding languages today include C#, Java/JavaScript, PHP, Python, Perl, Ruby/Rails, VB.net, ASP.net, SQL, R, C++, ISO/Swift, Scala and Groovy.
