Computer programming (often shortened to programming or coding) is the process of writing, testing, debugging/troubleshooting, and maintaining the source code of computer programs. This source code is written in a programming language. The code may be a modification of an existing source or something completely new. The purpose of programming is to create a program that exhibits a certain desired behaviour (customization). The process of writing source code often requires expertise in many different subjects, including knowledge of the application domain, specialized algorithms and formal logic.

What's the best way to start learning graphics programming?
Q. I want to start learning how to program graphics. OpenGL is really the only thing I've heard about when it comes to graphics. Is OpenGL like...the way to go? Obviously I would like some learning curve, but I'd like to get a move on asap. What is the best way to jump into graphics programming? OpenGL? Something else? Do I even need to step outside of C++? Any good online tutorials?

A. A more gentle approach would be to start with flash but it depends if you're interested in that kind of thing. It's also worth noting that flash programming is an easier place to make money. Graphics programming is math intensive and you'll find 2D math a more gentle introduction. I prefer OpenGL because it's an industry standard, it's cross platform and these platforms include mobile devices. I think it's easier than D3D as well. There really isn't anything you can achieve with D3D or OGL that you can't with the other. Check out I started with these. These tutorials can really help you go from noob to pro.

A. ASP.Net is the way to go, with either C# or VB.Net. If you know some VB already the transition to VB.Net will be easier. You'll need the database, which if it's access, not my favorite option, but it'll work.

What programming language do most people use for making games?
Q. And also what programming language do people use nowadays? Is it true that all the programming languages are quite desame? If you learn c++ will other programming language be easy to learn? I heard that new languages are created every year.

A. What programming language do most people use for making games? C or C++. C++ is object oriented, which makes it a little more organized, but also a little slower. And also what programming language do people use nowadays? Depends on what they are doing. Common languages used now are Java, C++, Visual Basic .NET, Visual C# .NET, Ruby, Python, PHP, Perl. Is it true that all the programming languages are quite desame? No. They all have some similiar concepts such as variables and flow control, and some languages have the similiar syntax to other languages but they are not all the same. If you learn c++ will other programming language be easy to learn? Yes, but it is probably easier to learn another language to get the hand of coding and… [cont.]

Computer programming (often simply programming or coding) is the craft of writing a set of commands or instructions that can later be compiled and/or interpreted and then inherently transformed to an executable that an electronic machine can execute or "run".

  • On two occasions I have been asked,—"Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" In one case a member of the Upper, and in the other a member of the Lower, House put this question. I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
