Computer programming (often shortened to programming or coding) is the process of writing, testing, debugging/troubleshooting, and maintaining the source code of computer programs. This source code is written in a programming language. The code may be a modification of an existing source or something completely new. The purpose of programming is to create a program that exhibits a certain desired behaviour (customization). The process of writing source code often requires expertise in many different subjects, including knowledge of the application domain, specialized algorithms and formal logic.

What programming skills, if any, should I develop if I want to use advanced Statistical systems?
Q. Statistical Analysis systems like SAS. Should I consider taking programming courses if I also want to get involved in econometrics? Haven't taken the class yet but will in a few days.

A. SAS is a statistical application language, and although it has a macro language to do some procedural work, I found that I had little need for programming while using SAS. Instead of programming, much of what I wanted to do existed in the SAS procedures. It more reading the procedures and their parameters and knowing which one to use. On the other hand, sometimes the data is not in a format which is easy to read using SAS, in such cases it was nice to have another language to preprocess the data. Learning how to use a programming language or system tool to do this could be useful.

What is the easiest programming language to learn for making facebook applications?
Q. I know BASIC if that makes any difference. I'm thinking about PHP, Java, Javascript, or FBML, but I don't know which is the best choice for someone with only minor experience in programming. If you think none of these are the best choice, then what is?

A. Facebook is all about PHP and MySQL. PHP is your logic - creating the dynamic output on the page, and MySQL is the database structure. Free tutorials in all web development languages can be found here: www.w3schools.com

How important is programming in the IT field?
Q. I'm currently designing a degree plan that I hope will involved something with IT. I already have an two year degree that covers the basics of networking but I think that it would help to know some type of programming. I'm thinking of learning database programming but I'm not sure that's a direction that I should go. I don't plan on becoming a programmer though as it's not what I'm interested in. I'm not a big fan of programming to being with so I'm not even sure I should be thinking about it.

A. One or two programming courses will tell you if that is for you or not. A 4 year degree is very important and there are many IT degree programs where the programming will be only a course or two. In my CIS degree program there were two courses. Many of us involved in system administration have taken up scripting in the command shell, Perl or PowerShell and this is programming at its lowest base level with no GUI interface involved. We use this to automate repetitive tasks work in areas of security and anomoly detection. So there would be an advantage to knowing scripting but it is not a requirement.

Computer programming (often simply programming or coding) is the craft of writing a set of commands or instructions that can later be compiled and/or interpreted and then inherently transformed to an executable that an electronic machine can execute or "run".

  • On two occasions I have been asked,—"Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" In one case a member of the Upper, and in the other a member of the Lower, House put this question. I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
    • Charles Babbage, Passages from the Life of a Philosopher (1864), ch. 5: "Difference Engine No. 1"
  • Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the universe trying to build bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.
