Programming language

A programming language is a formal language that specifies a set of instructions that can be used to produce various kinds 

of output. Programming languages generally consist of instructions for a computer. Programming languages can be used to 

create programs that implement specific algorithms.

The earliest known programmable machine that preceded the invention of the digital computer was the automatic flute player 

described in the 9th century by the brothers Musa in Baghdad, during the Islamic Golden Age. From the early 1800s, 

"programs" were used to direct the behavior of machines such as Jacquard looms and player pianos. Thousands of different 

programming languages have been created, mainly in the computer field, and many more still are being created every year. 

Many programming languages require computation to be specified in an imperative form (i.e., as a sequence of operations to 

perform) while other languages use other forms of program specification such as the declarative form (i.e. the desired 

result is specified, not how to achieve it).

The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax (form) and semantics 

(meaning). Some languages are defined by a specification document (for example, the C programming language is specified by 

an ISO Standard) while other languages (such as Perl) have a dominant implementation that is treated as a reference. Some 

languages have both, with the basic language defined by a standard and extensions taken from the dominant implementation 

being common.

Tabpear was formed out of the need for a cash-strapped web start-up to grow its coding resources.

The start-up's founders soon discovered that accessing local talent was cost- prohibitive, whilst the available 

alternatives, Freelancer websites and traditional offshore development centres simply did not cater for the needs of a 

typical SME.

What was needed was a new type of IT offshoring centre... one able to deliver cost- effective resources on-demand, to 

clients of all shapes and sizes, with minimal fuss and maximum agility.

Tabpear was born... entirely flexible and infinitely scalable, our pool of best- in-class developers, work in teams of 

various sizes, delivering specific projects, or as a seamless extension of your existing workforce.
