Introduction to computer programming

Introduction to computer programming focuses on what programming is, how a computer follows instructions, and the basic stages involved in developing a program. For exams, you must master the meaning of key terms such as program, algorithm, programming language, translator, syntax, and logic, because they form the foundation for all later topics in Computer Programming I.
