NOMBRE DEL CURSO

Programming
Computer programming is a way of giving
computers instructions about what they should
do. These instructions are known as code, and
computer programmers write code to solve
problems or perform a task.
Programming is a way to “instruct the computer to perform various tasks”.

-“Instruct the computer”: you provide the computer a set of instructions that are written in a
language that the computer can understand (programming language).

-“Perform various tasks”: The tasks may involve a sequence of multiple instructions and
require complex calculations.

Hence, in summary, Programming is a way to tell computers to do a specific task.


Programming Languages
- Are the tools we use to write instructions for computers to follow.
- Allow us to translate the binary language of computers into something that
humans can understand and write.
JavaScript
c#
Swift
COBOL (common
business oriented
language)
HTML (Hypertext markup
language)
Ruby
Low level programming languages
- Are closer to machine code, or binary, therefore, they’re more difficult for humans to read .
The benefit is that they’re fast and offer precise control over how the computer will function.

High level programming languages


- Are closer to how humans communicate, they’re easier to program but they take more time to
translate into machine code for the computer.
Some programming languages
Java
C++
SQL (Structured query language)
Python
PHP (Hypertext Pre – processor)
OOP (object oriented programming)
JavaScript
c # (c sharp)
Swift
COBOL (common business oriented language)
HTML (Hypertext markup language)
Ruby
