Introduction to Programming: All a Beginner Should Know

Image
  In today's digital world, programming has become one of the most important skills to learn.  Whether you want to build your own website, automate tasks you do repeatedly, launch a tech business, or simply understand how apps and software work, programming is a gateway to limitless possibilities. Most people are dissuaded from learning how to code, imagining it to be a domain of math geniuses or computer science experts.  The truth, however, is that coding is increasingly becoming accessible.  Anyone can start learning with the right mindset and resources even without a background. This is a welcoming and knowledgeable overview of programming.  This article will explain what programming is, how it's helpful, what the essential concepts are that you should be aware of, and how you can begin. What Is Programming? Programming is the process of providing a computer with a set of instructions for it to execute in order to accomplish a task.  The instructions ar...

A Beginner's Guide to Coding: Getting Started with Programming

  #1 Understanding Coding:  Definition: Programming simply refers to assigning a set of programmed instructions for a computer in laptop, computers, or in any programming language.  Purpose: It also assists in developing of the software, applications and the website.  #2 Choosing a Programming Language:  Beginner-Friendly Languages: It is best to begin with programming languages as Python, JavaScript and HTML/CSS because of their easy approach.  Language Use Cases:  Python: Best for novices, applied in web designing, data science, artificial intelligence and other fields.  JavaScript: More critically significant to Web development.  HTML/CSS: Basic for constructing web pages.  #3 Setting Up Your Development Environment:  Text Editors: Generally, editors such as Notepad++ and the more sophisticated IDEs like Visual Studio Code.  Installation: Install all the software and libraries requiring for the desired programming language....

C#

  C# (pronounced "C sharp") is a modern, object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft as part of its .NET initiative.  C# was developed by Anders Hejlsberg, a Danish software engineer who had previously worked on Turbo Pascal and Delphi.  The language was created as part of the .NET framework. The primary goal was to create a language that was simple, modern, and object-oriented, with a syntax that was easy to read and write, similar to C++ and Java. C# was first announced to the public in June 2000, along with the first version of the .NET Framework. In December 2001, C# was approved as an international standard by the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA).  In 2003, it was ratified as an ISO standard. With the introduction of .NET Core, a cross-platform version of .NET, C# development gained more flexibility. .NET 5 unified .NET Framework and .NET Core into a single platform. C# and the .NET runtime were open-sourced in 2014, allowing a ...

Java programming language

  Java is a popular, general-purpose programming language that was developed by Sun Microsystems (now owned by Oracle) in the mid-1990s.  It is designed to be platform-independent, meaning that Java programs can run on any computer or device that has a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) installed.  Java is known for its simplicity, readability, and robustness, making it widely used in various domains, including web development, mobile app development, desktop applications, enterprise software, and more. Java is primarily an object-oriented language, which means it emphasizes the use of classes and objects to model and solve problems. Java programs are compiled into bytecode, which can be executed on any platform with a compatible JVM.  This "write once, run anywhere" principle is a significant advantage of Java. Java uses a garbage collector to automatically manage memory allocation and deallocation, relieving the programmer from manual memory management tasks. Java provides...

Python Programming Language

Image
  Python is a popular general-purpose programming language that can be used for a wide variety of applications.  It includes high-level data structures, dynamic typing, dynamic binding, and many more features that make it as useful for complex application  development as it is for scripting or "glue code" that connects components together.  It can also be extended to make system calls to almost all operating systems and to run code written in C or C++.  Due to its ubiquity and ability to run on nearly every system architecture,  Python is a universal language found in a variety of different applications. About Python Python was conceived in the late 1980s by Guido van Rossum at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI)  in the Netherlands as a successor to the ABC programming language, which was inspired by SETL capable of exception handling and interfacing with the Amoeba operating system. Its implementation began in December 1989.  Van Rossum sho...
