| | Structured programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | It is possible to do structured programming in almost any procedural programming language, but since about 1970 when structured programming began to gain popularity as a technique, most new procedural programming languages have included features to encourage structured programming (and sometimes have left out features that would make unstructured programming easy). | | | Structured programming languages provide constructs (often called "if-then-else", "switch", "unless", "while", "until", and "for") for creating a variety of loops and conditional branches of execution, although they may also provide a GOTO to reduce excessive nesting of cascades of "if" structures, especially for handling exceptional conditions. | | | Structured programming can be seen as a subset or subdiscipline of procedural programming, one of the major programming paradigms. |

| | programming language: Definition and Much More From Answers.com |
| | Languages that use garbage collection are free to allow arbitrarily complex data structures as both expressed and denoted values. | | | A programming language or computer language is a standardized communication technique for expressing instructions to a computer. | | | All computers operate by following machine language programs, a long sequence of instructions called machine code that is addressed to the hardware of the computer and is written in binary notation (see numeration), which uses only the digits 1 and 0. |

| | Forth programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Forth programming style uses very few named data objects compared with other languages; typically such data objects are used to contain data which is used by a number of words or tasks (in a multitasked implementation). | | | Forth is a procedural, stack-oriented, reflective programming language and programming environment. | | | A newcomer to the language may download a free version from the net, have problems and dismiss the language without further consideration, mistaking a poor implementation for a fundamentally flawed language. |

| | Summarizing data with SQL (Structured Query Language) |
| | Structured Query Language (SQL) was created to shield the database programmer from understanding the specifics of how data is physically stored in each database management system and also to provide a universal foundation for updating, creating and extracting data from database systems that support an SQL interface. | | | SQL and its predecessors (other query languages) changed a lot of that by providing a logical abstraction to this physical layer. | | | Once the data to summarize has been decided on, the next step is to decide how to aggregate the data. |

| | The great linguist Noam Chomsky said that language is a reflection of the human mind, not only because humans produce it, learn it, and speak it, but also because language is as it is because the human mind is as it is (265). | | | Smith and Wilson explain that language can be described in terms of a grammar with two primary tasks: stating what vocabulary is in the language and what isnt, and describing what is correct usage of that vocabulary (14). | | | In other words, there is a set of linguistic universal rules upon which all languages are based, and they are contained within the mind from conception in what is termed the universal grammar. |

| | Chapter 1: Understanding SQL and Relational Databases |
| | Structured Query Language (SQL) is a standardized language designed to access and manipulate data stored in relational databases and to work with the databases themselves. | | | The bottom line is that regardless of the language in which you program or the particular database in which you store your data, knowledge of SQL is an essential skill. | | | A data provider is usually a service available to all code running on a computer that mediates between your applications and the database engine you're using, making it easier to execute queries. |

| | HRELP - What is language documentation? |
| | The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a document description language, used to describe the content of structured documents each part of a structured document is described within a defined and logical structure (stored in XML schemas or DTDs "document type definitions"). | | | This does not mean simplifying or trivialising the data or the way we work with it; rather, it means working harder on providing mature and friendly software such as users already expect in domains such as office applications and computer games. | | | Documenting a language is a complex process that involves finding speakers who can serve as language teachers (often called 'language consultants', and in former times 'informants') and then working together with them to study the language and its use. |
