 Computer programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Computer programming (often simply programming) is the craft of implementing one or more interrelated abstract algorithms using a particular programming language to produce a concrete computer program.
Different programming languages require different levels of detail to be handled by the programmer when implementing algorithms, often resulting in a compromise between ease of use and performance (a trade-off between "programmer time" and "computer time").
The only programming language a computer can directly execute is machine language (sometimes called "machine code").

 Computer programming - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks
Programming a computer can be performed in one of numerous languages, ranging from a higher-level language to writing directly in low-level machine code (that is, code that more directly controls the specifics of the computer's hardware).
Computer programming is one part of a much larger discipline known as software engineering.
Computer programming is the craft of writing useful, maintainable, and extensible instructions which can be interpreted by a computing system to perform a meaningful task.

 Computer programmers
Different programming languages are used depending on the purpose of the program.
Computer programmers write, test, and maintain the detailed instructions, called programs, that computers must follow to perform their functions.
Some computer programmers hold a college degree in computer science, mathematics, or information systems, whereas others have taken special courses in computer programming to supplement their degree in a field such as accounting, inventory control, or another area of business.

 The History of Computer Programming Languages
A compiler is a program that turns the language's statements into 0's and 1's for the computer to understand.
Computer languages were first composed of a series of steps to wire a particular program; these morphed into a series of steps keyed into the computer and then executed; later these languages acquired advanced features such as logical branching and object orientation.
It was the first computer language for electronic devices and it required the programmer to change its statements into 0's and 1's by hand.

 Computer Programming for Everybody
In particular, the existing program development tools and tutorials for Python (there are several of each) all assume that the user is a dyed-in-the-wool developer, who knows a suite of external tools to edit, run and debug programs, and who already knows one or more other programming languages and their development environments.
