Programming

Computer Programming :-

Programming a computer is almost as easy as using one and does not

require you to be a math genius. People who are good at solving story problems

make good programmers, and others say that artistic or musical talent is a sign of potential programming.

 Various computer languages are described, and tips on

choosing the right language and learning how to use it are provided.

Learning how to program is actually easier than many people think.

Learning to program takes about the same time as two semesters of a college

course. The process of learning to program is uniquely reinforcing, because

students receive immediate feedback on their screens. The programming languages

Basic, Pascal, C, and Database are discussed; tips on learning the languages are

offered; and a list of publishers' addresses is provided.

One way of programming is rapid application development (RAD) has

tremendous powers, but it is not without its limits. The two basic advantages

RAD tools promise over traditional programming are shorter, more flexible

development cycle and the fact that applications can be developed by a

reasonably sophisticated end user. The main disadvantage is that RAD tools

often require code to be written, which will result in most developers probably

having to learn to program using the underlying programming language, except in

the case of the simplest applications. The time gained from using a RAD tool

can be immense, however: Programmers using IBM's VisualAge report the ability

to create up to 80 percent of an application visually, with the last 20 percent

consisting of specialized functions, which means by using and IBM program it is

much easier because most of the program is graphics which is just point and

click to do, and the rest is code, which really isn't much.

Anyone who is willing to invest a little time and effort can now write

computer programs and customize commercial applications, thanks to new software
