WHAT IS PROGRAMMING?

If you were to set off on a trip to a foreign country, one that did not speak your language, but you were dying to communicate with the locals, what would you do? Of course, you’d learn a few phrases and expressions to help you navigate some basics of the culture.

The same logic applies to computing and information technology. To learn how to communicate with computers, there are a series of languages that are used. All these languages operated behind the screen, and help users complete tasks – from opening emails, to clicking on shopping carts, to analysing the results of traffic to their site. It is programming that runs computers, and programmers who set the rules and functions that happen throughout the internet.

Programming starts with coding, the process of putting expressions and language together. It is the basics of coding that we are going to work on this project, and see how it impacts the user experience.

Invest in your future! Enroll today and learn how to perform basic programming and build your confidence in a safe, online learning environment.
