If you are reading this then you are probably wondering what Programming/Coding is and what it is used for. If you look up programming in Google the first thing that pops up is "the action or process of writing computer programs." While that definition is correct many people are turned away from programming because that might sound intimidating if they do not understand what it means. You might also see the term "programming language" and get even more confused.
So "What is Programming," programming is communicating with the computer in a language it can understand. So we can say that learning programming is like learning a new language, if you learn the syntax you can write sentences (lines of code). And the more vocabulary(keywords) you learn in a language the more stuff you are able to make it do. In programming, there are different languages that you can use.
For example, creating apps on Android you would use Java and for Apple you would use Swift.
Another example is with creating websites you would use HTML and CSS, and JavaScript.
Programming is an incredibly useful skill to have it is not just doing boring code behind a computer(although you will spend a lot of time on the computer) but it also used in exciting things like Self-Driving Cars, Robots, Games, 3-D and Animated movies, Websites and Apps and many more. So if you are thinking whether to learn programming or not you should at least consider trying it out. There are many free online resources that teach coding so what are you waiting for.
