Introduction
This is the third article in our series “Understanding Computer Fundamentals” where we learn about the fundamentals that everyone who works with computers should know. In the previous article, we covered the basics of computer software and operating systems.
In this article, we will cover all the fundamentals of programming in simple and easy-to-understand terms. We'll cover what is programming, how to tell the computer to do what you want, the importance of programming, programming languages and their differences.
This article is not to convince you to become a programmer, but to give you enough knowledge so that you can make informed decisions in the field of technology. So, if you’re new to coding or need a refresher, don’t worry, we will break down the fundamentals of programming in a simple way that anyone can understand.
By the end of this article, you should have a basic understanding of programming and be able to start exploring it on your own. You might even discover a new passion, like I did when I've started learning how to code.
Whether you want to uncover the secrets of the universe, or you just want to pursue a career in the 21st century, basic computer programming is an essential skill to learn.
