computer programming

    Programming is problem solving and writing instructions for a computer.

    The principles of programming are independent of the computer programming language used. Different languages have different strengths and weaknesses, making some kinds of programs easier or more difficult to write, but the basic principles remain the same regardless of language.

    A skilled programmer should be able to switch to a new programming language in a few hours.

    On the other hand, beginners should pick one language and learn it before attempting a second language. Normally this choice will be made by the school or the professor.

    This free text book includes information on multiple programming languages. Unless instructed otherwise, you should concentrate on the language you are learning and skip over the others. Trying to learn the syntax and semantics of multiple programming languages at the same time as learning the basics of programming is a recipe for utter confusion.
