Computer Programming

Computer Programming

Computer programming is the process of creating software through the use of logic, algorithms, and programming language

What is Computer Programming?

Programmers use a program code to make software

Program code: a set of instructions that signal the CPU to perform circuit switching operations

Software engineers

Tools They Use

1. Code editors Text editors that help the programmer in using

programming language Features the automatic command completion Has ability to suggest useful commands

Tools They Use

2. Debugging able to evaluate programming code to find errors or

bugs

Integrated Development Environment

IDESoftware application that integrates all tools

and has other helpful featuresSource code editor, compiler, build

automation tools, and a debugger

Example of IDE

Microsoft Visual Studio Develop console and graphic user interface

applications, web sites, and web applications

Programming Languages

Provide a set of symbols, key terms, commands, and rules to write program code

Made programming process easier

Compiler

Takes source code and produces object code with an executable file and supportive files as output

Interpreter

Used rather than a compiler sometimesTranslates source code to object code one at

a time while the software is executing

Programming Language

Application Programming Interface

Set of programming tools used to access an operating system or online service

Used to create software

Importance

API allows others to develop software to run on the system or device

Provides a variety of software that can be used on a variety of different computers and systems

Without APIs only Nintendo would develop software for the Wii

Application Programming Interface

Facebook requires only PHP script (one particular programming language)

Microsoft Windows supports use of many languages

Software Development Kit

Programming environment designed to write software for a particular platform

Websites provide SDKs for software developers

Application Programming Interface

Impact on Us

We use these programs every dayPhones, Ipods, Computers, Cars, GPSAll electronic devices need to be programmed

Software Engineering

Systematic process of transforming a software idea into functional software

They understand how a processor carries out instructions and uses that logic to develop a design for the software

Defines how people can use computers
