Computer programming (often shortened to programming or coding) is the process of writing, testing, debugging/troubleshooting, and maintaining the source code of computer programs. This source code is written in a programming language. The code may be a modification of an existing source or something completely new. The purpose of programming is to create a program that exhibits a certain desired behaviour (customization). The process of writing source code often requires expertise in many different subjects, including knowledge of the application domain, specialized algorithms and formal logic.

How do I start learning about programming?
Q. I applied for this program, called Excel Tecc, it is a programming class, and during the interviews, I talked with many other students who seemed to have much more knowledge about the topic than me, and before the class starts I want to learn more about the topic because I want to be caught up. What are ways that I can start learning about programming, books are preferred, but websites are fine too.

A. You can start here. I'd recommend the HTML classes first. It's a simple way to learn something, and you don't need anything but a simple text editor and a browser. Any computer will have those pre-loaded these days. Try using notepad on a windoze computer. I don't know what you'd use on a mac, though.

where do I start with computer programming?
Q. I am looking to go into either gaming or software(windows), and I don't know what to start doing first. I'm 15 right now, so I obviously don't know a lot of higher math, like geometry or trig. Also, I can't pay for any programs/software because my parents think it's a waste of time. Since I don't know what exactly I want to do with programming, I just want to learn the basic stuff that is need for any programming.

A. I started getting into programming when I was 15 (and I'm very glad I did). If you have good programming skills, you can make yourself an essential employee at whatever company you work at one day. I have seen this happen with my own career. Since everyone uses computers, everyone needs people that know how to fix them, and people that know how to make them do the things they want them to do. If you're interested in video game programming, then I suggest C++, but if you want to design business application, then I suggest Visual Basic. They're both Microsoft languages, and because of that, you're going to get a lot of opinions from people that either really love them or really hate them...(you know, those Bill Gates haters...lol).

A. Web development is a very diverse IT field. I have been programming with both Linux and Microsoft technologies for a decade, and here's my opinion You should start with the basics, HTML/DHTML and Javascript Once you've learned the basics, you can move to more dynamic server-side languages that also generate HTML. Some of the more popular interpretive ones are ColdFusion, PHP, JSP, and ASP, or you can choose compiled languages such as .Net (C#.Net, VB.Net). Once you've gotten the concept of server side development, you can start looking into relational database design and development. Some of the more popular ones are MSSQL, MySQL, and Oracle. That should give you a well rounded set of skills to handle any conceivable project. … [cont.]

Computer programming (often simply programming or coding) is the craft of writing a set of commands or instructions that can later be compiled and/or interpreted and then inherently transformed to an executable that an electronic machine can execute or "run".

  • On two occasions I have been asked,—"Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" In one case a member of the Upper, and in the other a member of the Lower, House put this question. I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
    • Charles Babbage, Passages from the Life of a Philosopher (1864), ch. 5: "Difference Engine No. 1"
  • Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.
