...Computer programming (often shortened to programming) is a process that leads from an original formulation of a computing problem to executable computer programs. Programming involves activities such as analysis, developing understanding, generating algorithms, verification of requirements of algorithms including their correctness and resources consumption, and implementation (commonly referred to as coding[1][2]) of algorithms in a target programming language. Source code is written in one or more programming languages. The purpose of programming is to find a sequence of instructions that will automate performing a specific task or solving a given problem. The process of programming thus often requires expertise in many different subjects, including knowledge of the application domain, specialized algorithms and formal logic. Related tasks include testing, debugging, and maintaining the source code, implementation of the build system, and management of derived artifacts such as machine code of computer programs. These might be considered part of the programming process, but often the term "software development" is used for this larger process with the term "programming", "implementation", or "coding" reserved for the actual writing of source code. Software engineering combines engineering techniques with software development practices. Computer Programming Principles : Program Design Computer Programming is the process of writing, testing, troubleshooting, debugging and maintaining...

...2010 University of Phoenix Professor Timothy Orme * Dear Mr. McBride: It is great to know you respect our professional approach to your company's needs. We wish to make your decision to go with our product solution the right choice. Your questions and concerns are welcome. What's the significance of the "programming language" to my business? What are your comments about what he said? I feel that your friend gave you great advice. When it comes to making a decision about the system or systems it is not a simple decision. While there are many things to consider, I would like you to consider the following: a) Types of Programming languages and what platforms they run on b) Computer Hardware (Desktops & Servers) that support the program c) Network equipment and services that support the software, computer software and business process d) Technical Support e) Cost Today the most successful integrated information systems are designed with portability and scalability in mind. Programming languages such as Java and C++ are extremely portable and run on all server platforms and compatible with all desktop computers systems. When thinking about the programming languages you also have to consider the type of support you will need. Integrated program solutions designed by vendors come in many sizes and service packages. As a startup company you can save by outsourcing IT services such as server administration support and network support. By purchasing...

...codified in the patterns of our language … we cannot talk at all except by subscribing to the organization and classification of data which the agreement decrees.” Benjamin Lee Whorf (1897-1941) The genesis of the computer revolution was in a machine. The genesis of our programming languages thus tends to look like that machine. But computers are not so much machines as they are mind amplification tools (“bicycles for the mind,” as Steve Jobs is fond of saying) and a different kind of expressive medium. As a result, the tools are beginning to look less like machines and more like parts of our minds, and also like other forms of expression such as writing, painting, sculpture, animation, and filmmaking. Object-oriented programming (OOP) is part of this movement toward using the computer as an expressive medium. This chapter will introduce you to the basic concepts of OOP, including an overview of development methods. This chapter, and this book, assumes that you have some programming experience, although not necessarily in C. If you think you need more preparation in programming before tackling this book, you should work through the Thinking in C multimedia seminar, downloadable from www.MindView.net. This chapter is background and supplementary material. Many people do not feel comfortable wading into object-oriented programming without understanding the big picture first. Thus, there are many concepts that are introduced here to give you a solid overview of OOP. However...

...people think that computer programming just recently had been created but far from that, it started for over a century. Starting from Charles Babbage’s steam driven machine named the Analytical Engine back in 1834. This idea caught the attention of a mathematician Ada Lovelace, she wrote a program to make the Analytical Engine calculate and print a sequence of numbers known as Bernoulli numbers. Because of her work with the Analytical Engine, she is considered as the first ever computer programmer. The first true computer appeared in 1943 when the U.S. Army created a computer called ENIAC that was able to calculate artillery trajectories. To give it instructions, you had to physically flip its different switches and rearrange its cables. However, physically rearranging cables and switches to reprogram a computer proved to be very tasking and clumsy. So instead of physically rearranging the computer’s wiring, computer scientists decided it would be easier to give the computer different instructions. In the old days, computers were taking up entire rooms and cost millions of dollars. Today, computers have shrunk that they are essentially nothing more than a piece of granular bar which are called the central processing unit (CPU), or processor. However in order to tell the processor what to do, you have to give it instructions written in a language that it can understand. That is where programming languages comes in. There many different computer languages and each one of them are...

...Benefits of Programming Knowledge John Padgett IT/ 215 August 8, 2013 Chan Benefits of Programming Knowledge When you are an IT professional, you really want to know as much as you can about your particular specialty as an IT member and you also need to have some knowledge in programming concepts as well. It really doesn’t matter what you do as an IT team member for a particular company, but as a member you need to have basic programming concept skills to be effective and understanding how to solve any problems that you may encounter. The main problem today for any IT division of a company is being able to support all aspects of IT that company may need. It starts with security for the company and its data all the way to systems managers and network engineers just to name a few of the positions that IT professionals have skills to perform those jobs within the companies IT team. Everything that you will do as an IT professional will require you to have some basic knowledge in programming concepts because just about all the areas in the IT field ultimately come down to programming the computer to do a specific function or task. If you don’t have the basic skills of programming concepts you will be lost when it comes to trouble shooting any problems. As an It professional you will come across many circumstances that will require you to have programming fundamentals to do the job required at the time. Having knowledge in the JAVA language is beneficial...

...304 is not a class for everyone. Not just any student should take the class. This class is structured to assist students in learning how to program using the Java language. This class does not make a student an expert in the language of Java, but instead gives the student the basic fundamentals needed to have practical use of the language and gives them a solid foundation upon which they can build if they choose to do so. The material covered in the class is adequate. Java can be a complex language to learn, but in MIS 304 one is taught the basics and nothing too detailed or complicated. The resources that are given to the students are very good. I know that the Java book used for the class is one of the best reference materials on Java that is on the market today. The lab facilities and proctors are also great resources. The only problem I feel that exists is that students don’t take advantage of the resources they have available. Students hardly look through their book for answering questions they might have. Also students hardly even bring their books to the lab when doing programs. They sometimes look for proctors to fix their problems instead of fixing it themselves. I think it should be emphasized to students that the proctors are not their to do the programs for them, but to rather help them figure out what is going wrong in their programs. Also it should be emphasized that the book should be with them when working on programs so that if questions or problems do arise...

...# What is imperative programming? Imperative programming is a [paradigm](https://mortoray.com/topics/paradigms/) that explicitly tells the computer what to do and how to do it. Unlike most other approaches it is a relatively concrete view on data and execution -- there isn't much mystery or abstract runtime behavior involved. The essential aspects of imperative programming are sequenced instructions and mutable data. Imperative programming is the cornerstone of computing. CPUs primarily work as imperative execution engines, and compilers translate into this language. As the primary way of driving computers for most of our programming history, it's well represented in the language arena. > I'm not saying all of computing works this way. A...
