Computer languages can be intimidating to those who haven't use them before, but once you learn how to recognize the basic components of programming, it will be much easier to begin writing your own programs. In this course, you'll discover the basics of programming languages, beginning with the file format used in programming, and basic features of various languages. Then you'll learn about the basic coding process, compilers, interpreters, and browsers, and the basic process of testing your programs. Finally, you'll learn about high-level languages and the various elements that comprise all computer programming languages. This course was originally created by Global Knowledge (GK).
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
-
Discuss how plain text is used in software programming
Describe how different file extensions are used to determine how a file is handled by an operating system

Describe the purpose of integrated development environments (ides) and list some well-known ides
Discuss the basic coding process of writing code, testing it, and writing it again
Describe the basic purpose of compilers, interpreters, and browsers in computer programming
Discuss the iterative process involved with running, debugging, and correcting software
Describe the purpose of high-level languages and their basic features -
Discuss how computer languages can basically become readable as you spend more time with them
