Computer Programming

     Programming a computer is almost as easy as using one and does not
require you to be a math genius.  People who are good at solving story problems
make good programmers, and others say that artistic or musical talent is a sign
of potential programmer.  Various computer languages are described, and tips on
choosing the right language and learning how to use it are provided.
     Learning how to program is actually easier than many people think.
Learning to program takes about the same time as two semesters of a college
course.  The process of learning to program is uniquely reinforcing, because
students receive immediate feedback on their screens.  The programming languages
Basic, Pascal, C, and Database are discussed; tips on learning the languages are
offered; and a list of publishers' addresses is provided.
     One way of programming is rapid application      development (RAD) has
tremendous powers, but it is not without its limits.  The two basic advantages
RAD tools promise over traditional programming are shorter, more flexible
development cycle and the fact that applications can be developed by a
reasonably sophisticated end user.  The main disadvantage is that RAD tools
often require code to be written, which will result in most developers probably
having to learn to program using the underlying programming language, except in
the case of the simplest applications.  The time gained from using a RAD tool
can be immense, however:  Programmers using IBM's VisualAge report the ability
to create up to 80 percent of an application visually, with the last 20 percent
consisting of specialized functions, which means by using and IBM program it is
much easier because most of the program is graphics which is just point and
click to do, and the rest is code, which really isn't much.
     Anyone who is willing to invest a little time and effort can now write
computer programs and customize commercial applications, thanks to new software
tools.  People can create their own application with such ...
