Definition: ComputerLanguage.com
ComputerLanguage.com is the URL of The Computer Language Company Inc., creators of this encyclopedia. In 1981, the encyclopedia began as "The Computer Glossary." On floppies, it was "Electronic Computer Glossary." Our book publisher titled it "Computer Desktop Encyclopedia," and we used that name on our website and CD-ROMs (see rich client). Our licensees named it TechEncyclopedia, ZDNet Dictionary along with just plain Encyclopedia. For more than 20 years, we have also been PCMag.com Encyclopedia. See The Computer Glossary.
Responsive in 2018
In 2018, ComputerLanguage.com was updated to a responsive Web design that works equally well on small phone screens as it does on desktops. As a result, we eliminated our iOS app soon after and released the final Android version in 2021. See responsive Web design and Android CDE.
Our Windows Version
Our Windows version has been available to the public for more than 25 years, and our users tell us it is the best lookup engine they ever used. Naturally, we agree! Although it is no longer available on CD-ROM, it is still a major part of our development system. See Windows CDE.

Computer Desktop Encyclopedia was a mouthful, so after promoting ComputerLanguage.com for decades, it seemed the rightful name on our website should be its URL. In 2019, our banner changed to ComputerLanguage.com. See About this encyclopedia.
