What Is a Computer Program? (Learn To Program With Huw)

Описание: Do you know what happens between writing some programming code in the text editor and getting the computer to run the program? What happens is that everything you wrote disappears and is replaced by machine code. Lots of 1s and 0s. In order to understand what a computer program really is, you have to understand how your code is run by the machine…

In this short lesson, I give you a quick overview of this course and offer advice on how you should study it.

In this course, I will teach you everything you need to know to understand how computer programs really work. This is not yet another “How To Program In (Some language)” course. In this course I will teach you the essential details that you need to know in order to program in any modern language. If you are following a more traditional programming course at school or college ore if you are learning on your own, this course will help you to understand topics that may have you baffled!

I have spent over 40 years programming, teaching other people to program, writing programming books and working as a software developer. In this course, I aim to distil the knowledge that I’ve gained to help you to understand the art and science of computer programming.

PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE
=======================
While this course does not require that you use any specific programming language, there will be some ‘Hands On’ lessons taught in C# and Java. The best way to study, therefore, is to use at least one of those two languages. On Windows, I recommend installing C# and Visual Studio.
Install Visual Studio:    • Download and Install Visual Studio 2022 – ...  

Alternatively, you can install Java and an IDE (I’ll be using NetBeans) on any operating system.

PROGRAMMING BOOKS
====================
If you want to learn C# and Java programming in more depth (and also support this channel!) you might think of buying one of my books. I have written books on C programming, Object Pascal (Delphi), Ruby and other languages. If you want to follow this course using Java, you may find my Java book useful:

The Little Book Of Java Programming

If you are following the course using C#, I recommend this book:

The Little Book Of C# Programming

Good luck! And good programming!
