HISTORY OF OOP (OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING)

It arises from the need of programmers for ease, speed and creation in software development, looking for new approaches; this dates back to the 60s, which was the beginning of OOP, in 1962 they began with the development of a new language, officially released to the market by the Norwegian programmer named Kristen Nygaard and his colleague Ole-Johan Dahl created the programming language Simula, who is considered the father of Object Oriented Programming languages.

In 1972 Smalltalk was developed at the Xerox PARC research center by Alan Kay and colleagues, this implemented concepts such as everything is an object and interactive message systems between objects, Simula and Smalltalk were the pioneers in bringing new concepts such as objects, inheritance and polymorphism; which allowed the facilitation, speed, modulation and reuse of codes.

In 1980 the concept of OOP became popular bringing with it more languages ​​for its improvement such as Smalltalk and C++ that allowed to create more modular software, easier to maintain and easier to understand; 1983 C++ was created by Bjarne Stroustrup as an extension of C but with OOP features such as inheritance and polymorphism, for this reason it became the most popular for software development and high performance programming.

In 1991 the programmer Guido van Rossum, was not precisely object oriented but was integrated OOP became one of the most popular; With the arrival of Java in 1995 (developed by Sun Microsystems in 1995), this language was consolidated by its great focus and that it was designed precisely for object oriented
