WHAT IS COMPUTER PROGRAMING?

Computer programming is the process that professionals use to write code that instructs how a
computer, application or software program performs. At its most basic, computer programming is a set
of instructions to facilitate specific actions.

It creates instructions for a computer to execute by writing and testing code that enables applications
and software programs to operate successfully.

Computer programming is the process of performing a particular computation (or more generally,
accomplishing a specific computing result), usually by designing and building an executable computer
program.

Classification of programming languages

Technical aspects of languages will consider linguistic structure, expressive features, possibility of
efficient implementation, direct support for certain programming models, and similar concerns.
Programming languages can be divided into two different levels: High-level Languages – Python, Visual
Basic, Java, C, C++, SQL and many more. Low-level Languages – Hardware/Processor-specific assembly
languages and machine code.

Know about the application 'Small Basic'

Small Basic is the only programming language created specially to help students transition from block-
based coding to text-based coding. By teaching the fundamental elements of syntax-based languages in
an approachable manner, Small Basic gives students the skills and confidence to tackle more complex
programming languages such as Java and C#. You can also build applications for Kinect, Lego Mindstorm,
Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Oculus Rift, and more using Small Basic.

Microsoft Small Basic is a programming language, interpreter and associated IDE. Microsoft's simplified
variant of BASIC, it is designed to help students who have learnt visual programming languages such as
Scratch learn text-based programming.

Small Basic combines a friendly environment with a very simple language and a rich and engaging set of
libraries to make your programs and games pop!
