It is no matter that what kind of computer programmers may be, each and every can contributes something in the society, no matter how trivial.
Yet there are many few which are contributed beyond what a single programmer usually does in an entire lifetime. Programmers are able to writes thousands and sometimes millions lines of codes and keep developing new softwares, apps, mobiles apps, websites and much more.
Ada Lovelace ( Ada Augusta ) was the first programmer in the world and she was a student of Charles Babbage, who can develop a Analytical Engine. Ada Lovelace can wrote lines of codes for the Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine.
Here is the list of 15 Top Programmers in the World :
- Dennis Ritchie
- Bjarne Stroustrup
- Linus Torvalds
- Bill Gates
- Mark Zuckerberg
- Donald Knuth
- Guido van Rossum
- Niklaus Wirth
- James Gosling
- Ken Thompson
- Brian Kernighan
- John George Kemeny
- Thomas Eugene Kurtz
- Tim Berners Lee
- John Backus
In the age of 70’s, In 1973, Dennis Ritchie can created the ” C Programming Language “ which is widely used programming language in today also and many apps and software’s can developed using this language.

So, i’ll research and sort out the world top famous programmers who can changed our world and develops an imaginable things in real.

15 Most Influential Top Programmers In the World
#1 – Dennis Ritchie
Dennis Ritchie is the well known programmer who is the creator of C Programming Language. The C programming language is also called the mother of all the programming language because almost all latest language can be developed using C language.
Dennis Ritchie and his colleague Ken Thompson can also received the Turing Award for developing the world most useful UNIX Operating System in the year of 1983.
#2 – Bjarne Stroustrup
Bjarne Stroustrup is a famous computer scientist, most notable for the creating and developing the many apps and software’s using C++ Programming Language.
He is also a Research Professor and holds the College of Engineering Chair in Computer Science at Texas A&M University, as a visiting professor at Columbia University and works at Morgan Stanley.
#3 – Linus Torvalds
Linus Torvalds can developed the Linux 0.11 which is all written in the C Programming Language . Linux can supports more than the 20+ platforms.
And also Linux is a free and open source operating system, open source means that you can get the source code of the operating system for free of charge.
#4 – Bill Gates
Bill Gates the famous and awesome programming in the world. He is an awesome personality as well. He is also the world richest person and programmer. Bill Gates is the founder of the world largest softwares development company Microsoft, and also Co-Chairman of Gates Foundation.

Bill Gates can started working when he was just 13 years old using computers. When he was 17 , he formed a company called Traf-o-data. And in the age of just only 20 years , he founded Microsoft. He can developed MS-DOS Operating System and also most usable Window Operating Systems.
#5 – Mark Zuckerberg
Almost everyone can know about the world top class and famous programmer Mark Zuckerberg. He is the founder and CEO of world famous usable social networking website ” Facebook ” .He was created Facebook when he was just 19 years old.
Mark and also his Harward University Roomates and also friends can helped him a lot to develop a Facebook. When Facebook started, it was only for Harward University, and its all lines of codes can be written in C++ and PHP Programming Language.
Mark Zuckerberg is also the world first and only youngest billionaire. He has been passionate about the programming in his childhood. In his early business venture, called “Zucknet” a messenger which is used to chat with all other computers.
In 2003, Mark can created the website with the name “Facemash” . After that he converted it into Facebook and today Facebook is the world most and top usable social networking website.
#6 – Donald Ervin Knuth
Donald Knuth was born in Jan 10, 1938. He is the most popular American computer programmers, mathematicians, scientist. He is a very well-known person in America.
He is the professor at Stanford University, California. He writes a lot on algorithms, that’s why Donald has been called the “Father of Analysis of Algorithms”. He is a great scholar and write and writes many books.
#7 – Guido van Rossum
Guido van Rossum was also work at Google company from 2005-2012, where he developing the Paython language more deeply. In 2013, Guido working at Dropbox the very popular cloud space company. He is known as the Dutch programmer because he raised in Netherlands.
#8 – Niklaus Wirth
Niklaus Wirth was born in Feb 15, 1934 in Switzerland. He is a very well-known Swiss computer programmer and scientist. He design different programming languages, including the Pascal.
He also won the Turing Award which is known as the highest distinction in computer science field in 1984. He developing the sequence of innovative computer languages.
#9 – James Gosling
James Gosling was born in May 19, 1955 in Canada. He is very famous and top programmer in the world. He is popular Canadian computer scientist.
You can also know about him, because he is best known as the “Java Programming Language”. If anywhere Java language discussed, James Gosling name was displayed.
