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.
The program written in a particular programming language is then translated into the specific machine language executable by the target computer: programs written in any programming language can be translated into machine language.
Alan Turing is often considered the father of computer science and, by proxy, of the craft of programming.

 The History of Computer Programming Languages
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.
The computer languages of the last fifty years have come in two stages, the first major languages and the second major languages, which are in use today.
The first major languages were characterized by the simple fact that they were intended for one purpose and one purpose only, while the languages of today are differentiated by the way they are programmed in, as they can be used for almost any purpose.

 Programming language : Computer language   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Programming languages are intended to be executed on computers, but they may be also used for specifying algorithms or data-structures, which is why language designers try to make code which is easy to read.
Understanding programming languages is crucial for those engaged in computer science because today, all types of computation are done with computer languages.
Type-inferred languages superficially treat all data as not having a type, but actually do sophisticated analysis of the way the program uses the data to determine which elementary operations are performed on the data, and therefore deduce what type the variables have at compile-time.

Today's computers are often inflexible: the average computer user can typically only change a limited set of options configurable via a "wizard" (a lofty word for a canned dialog), and is dependent on expert programmers for everything else.
In addition to the goal of teaching how computers work, a course in computer programming will return to the curriculum an emphasis on logical thought which was once the main benefit of teaching geometry.
Two general computing trends of particular interest are the move towards information appliances and the growth of embedded CPUs in everyday machines and appliances--whether in the military or the civilian sector.

 What is high-level language? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
A programming language such as C, FORTRAN, or Pascal that enables a programmer to write programs that are more or less independent of a particular type of computer.
Such languages are considered high-level because they are closer to human languages and further from machine languages.
Ultimately, programs written in a high-level language must be translated into machine language by a compiler or interpreter.

 The Miranda Programming Language   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Miranda was the successor of the functional languages SASL and KRC.
In Non-Strict functional languages, the arguments to a function are not evaluated until they are actually required within the functions being called.
This is also known as lazy evaluation, and the main advantage of using this method is that it allows for passing infinite element data structures to a function.

A program is a sequence of instructions that tells a computer what operations to perform.
Compiled programs written in languages such as FORTRAN and C or C++ aren't directly executable by a computer; they are translated into lower-level machine language by compilers and then are executed directly by the hardware.
Object-oriented programming is a method of implementation in which programs are organized as cooperative collections of objects, each of which represents an instance of some class, and whose classes are all members of a hierarchy of classes united via inheritance relationship.

 Popular Programming Language Timelines Tutorials Extensions
Assembly language is very flexible and powerful; anything that the hardware of the computer is capable of doing can be done in assembly.
This language became so popular in the early 1960s that other vendors started to produce their own versions and this led to a growing divergence of dialects (by 1963 there were 40 different compilers).
Until the early 1980s, although compilers existed for a variety of machine architectures and operating systems, the language was almost exclusively associated with Unix; more recently, its use has spread much more widely, and today it is among the languages most commonly used throughout the computer industry.
