COMPUTER PROGRAMMING
Introduction:
Computer programming can as well be defined as a process that leads from an original formulation of a computer problem to execute problems. Computer programming is also referred to as programming. It encompasses other activities such as understanding, analysis and generally solving problems that result in algorithm, verifying the algorithm requirements and coding algorithm in a target program language. The program also involves the implementation of the build system and managing derived artifacts like computer programs machine codes. Most often, the algorithm is represented in human-parseable languages such as Java, Python, Smalltalk among others.
The Purpose of Computer programming:
Programming is more fun and astonishingly useful as it build your creativity and creates new career doors for those passionate about it. Most people today don’t really know how a computer works even thou they can simply turn on a computer or a mobile phone by just clicking on some buttons or swiping a finger or two and the computer does what they want. Learning how to write computer programs will require one to understand how a computer works.
Computer programming servers the purpose of finding a sequence of instructions that are able to automate the performance of specific tasks or solve defined problems. Programming process therefore requires expertise in a variety of other subjects such as the knowledge of application domains, formal logic and specified algorithms. Computer programming is usually regarded as one phase in a software development process within software engineering.
Ongoing debates on computer programming:
One of the prolonged debates majors on the extent to which program writing is a form of ar...

... books that touch on such subjects as well as the specific language one may want to learn. Amazon reviews or other similar sites usually help when it comes to distinguishing good books from bad one.
The next thing is getting an interpreter for the specific language one desire to learn. An interpreter is just a separate computer program that normally translates written ideas in a programming language into a machine code enabling one to see things work. There are numerous programs and all that is needed is just a choice of a program that meets the particular need.
The other thing one can do is to try to put together their ideas to form any working program. This can be done by starting with simple things, such a program that converts currencies as one works their way into things that are more complex as one continues to read and learn about computer programming.
The coding process will change program logic into specific instructions that can be executed by computers. In small programs this work can be done by one or two programmer and in large programs this task may be divided into section that can be handled by different groups. If the program was carefully written this process should be a simple process where the logical functions are translated into program code. Other programs were written to tie our student user population into the Active Directory forest. Our department had also written some code to delete Windows profiles and install software packages. This activity went by pretty fast for us as most of the critical work was already done by Microsoft.
Computer software engineers use the basics and techniques of computer science, engineering, and mathematical analysis to the design, development, testing, and evaluation of the software and systems that enable computers to perform their many different tasks.
After my twelfth grade, the inherent ardor I held for Computer Sciencemotivated me to do a bachelors degree in Information Technology. Programming and Math, a paragon of logic and reasoning have always been my favorite subjects since childhood. I still vividly remember the time during my graduation,when I was successful in creating a simple calculator application as a class assignment.The joy I derived from creating something that is used by a lot of people to help them perform complex calculations,made me realize the power of computing in its true sense.It was also in my graduation that I developed an immense interest in programming languages such as Java, C++ an...
To tell the computer what to do programming gives it commands. Creating these commands requires creating variables and assigning them values. Computer programming programs are where you do this programming. These programs use different programming languages. Programming languages are a bridge between how we think and how a computer works. It translates the code you put into machine language (the language of a computer). Lastly programming languages make it easier to learn and understand the instructions you give the computer. You wouldn’t want to talk to the computer in its language and that is unnecessary.
Compiler, in computer science, computer program that translates source code, instructions in a program written by a software engineer, into object code, those same instructions written in a language the computer's central processing unit (CPU) can read and interpret. Software engineers write source code using high level programming languages that people can understand. Computers cannot directly execute source code, but need a compiler to translate these instructions into a low level language called machine code.
A computer program is executable software that runs on a PC or computer system (Christensson). An executable file is a type in a computer file that runs a program when it opens (Christensson). Software is the instructions tell the computer what to do (“Software”). Software is the entire set of programs, procedures, and routines associated with the operation of a computer system, including the operating syst...
Many different types of programming languages are used to write programs for computers. The languages are called "codes". Some of the languages include C++, Visual Basic, Java, XML, Perl, HTML, and COBOL. Each of the languages differs from each other, and each is used for specific program jobs. HTML and JAVA are languages used to build web pages for the Internet. Perl and XML can produce codes that block students from getting on certain inappropriate web pages on their school server. One of the most prominent programming languages of the day would have to be C++.
But my time felt very restricted. To my surprise, no one knew how to program, and no one stood up to carry the responsibility. Until my hand shot up I nervously said,"I'll do the programming." That's how it all began. Soon, my skills would grow and develop. I had begun to apply what I learned to other programs.
The field of Computer Science is based primarily on computer programing. Programming is the writing of computer programs using letters and numbers to make "code". The average computer programer will write at least a million lines of code in his or her lifetime. But even more important than writting code, a good programer must be able to solve problems and think logicaly.
Computer programming can be a gateway job to many other interesting jobs. Programmers work in a wide variety of industries (Career Cruising). Programming can lead to making software for hospitals, banks, or even schools. But a very popular job for programmers is being part of a game development team. Programming can also lead to working for big companies like Google or Yahoo.
My undergraduate preparation at the Computer Science of my University has given me a very substantial knowledge of the basic areas of Computer Science. Any amount of learning in Computer Science would be incomplete without hands on experience of Programming. In a world where...
When I was in middle school, I had totally no idea of what Computer Science is, but I was pretty proficient in using computers at that age. The only thing that I knew about Computer Science is that one of my aunts is in that field and that’s all, nor of my parents are in that major. Not until in High School that I got the sense of what programming is like. I was taught basic simple codings and I really enjoyed it and thought that the class was actually quite fun. But the class didn’t give me any sense of the important real-world applications of Computer Science. Not until recently as I am in the Computer Science major, I started to really have the real idea and to gain real passion for the field. Computer Science is not all about programming.
It was emotional and frustrating for me, at the beginning when the downloaded systems wasn’t work for me properly and removed from my computer several times until I got the right one for my system and tested and proved it and make sure everything are working for me very well as I needed. During this process,it was challenged, completely hard time and decided not to have this gave up because didn’t work. But step by step started to see progress on my setup and even completed and started communicated with python (” Hello world”) thanks, python works! But I admitted that computer programming is not teasy as we really using the computer, and we are watching movies from the computer at all. Computer programming is something that needed big understanding, and also needed a lot of effort, time, and very deep computer knowledge her. I know that tuff for me but I like it and decided to challenge programming. Surprisingly, computer programming it is not even the way we read books and watch a
Computer Science is a vast research field that is continuously evolving. It is acknowledged that scientific research depends on grants. This type of funding often comes from an external source. All areas of research; whether it be medical, financial, or meteorological use trend analysis to study the relationships on publication papers and the development of “x” field. Furthermore, the authors of this article propose that scientific research in the field of Computer Science is greatly influenced by funding opportunities. Apirak Hoonlor, Boleslaw K. Szymanski, and Mohammed J. Zaki wrote an article entitled “Trends in Computer Science Research” which appeared in the article Communications of the ACM. The authors back up their arguments with three key points of observation: new keywords that appear in grants result in new publications using those same keywords, Computer Science is continuing to go through changes, and lastly scientists are required to switch their focus of study roughly every 10 years due to evolving technology. This article examines the evolution of trends in Computer Science research and analyzes how funding correlates to publication topics.
The article Guest Editors' Introduction: Algorithms and Today's Practitioner is about the use of algorithms in the world of software engineering. An algorithm is a set of rules that need to be followed in problem-solving operations .The practice of finding and using new algorithms had really died down until someone almost found the solution to the P=NP problem. The P=NP problem asks if a problem that can be verified by a computer quickly can be solved quickly by a computer. This boosted the interest of “algorithmic advances.” Since this increase in interest of algorithms, more people have wanted to become software
