Author Description

There are many books on the market that cover the programming in certain languages, but very few outside of academic circles introduce programming as a topic itself. The goal of this book is to give non-programmers assistance in learning the basics of programming so that they might eventually become a professional developer, or a programming hobbyist. This book will not only help the reader gain new skills, but it will also be beneficial for readers as they want to expand their knowledge on the topic and use that experience to work with other programming languages. This book offers the basic best practices and skills for all novice programmers.· What Is Programming?· Why Learn to Program?· How Computers Read Code.· From Concepts to Code - The Language of Code· The Tools for Programming· Simple Coding· The Structure of Coding· Problem Solving· Debugging· Interface· Putting It All Together· Interacting with Files· The Windows Registry· Organizing, Planning, and Version Control· Compiling Code and Alternatives to Compiling· Distributing Your Project
