Introduction to Computer Programming is a simple, practical ebook that anyone can understand.It is written to talk the reader through the wonderful world of computer programming.

The reason for them achieving great marks the second time round is that they understood the concepts of programming. They understood the fundamentals of what programming languages can do and thereafter they just had to learn the rules on how to apply them. They could enjoy and master each next phase. After reading the book you will gain

Basic knowlege:

* Learn, in a 'nut shell', what computer programs are, and the role programmers play in the development of these programs.

* Find out how to visualize how information is stored in the computer. You will see how the letter 'a' is stored on the hard drive.

* Understand how data is compartmentalized and grouped together, to make it easier and more efficient to use.

* Discover what the "work horse" of the computer is, and the area it uses to do it's work.

* Gain insight into how we send information into the computer and how we get information out.

Intermediate knowledge:

* Learn how to structure and lay out the items needed to 'hold' the information we work with.

* Find out how to repeat instructions without wasting time and space.

* Be shown how to store similar information without wasting time and space.

* Gain insight on how a program can choose different directions based on the outcome of some query or question.

Advanced knowlege:

* Find out about grouping instructions with a common goal, and how to use these groups of instructions when required.

* Learn how to make use of more than one program in a single go, by linking these programs into one unit of instructions.

* Get introduced to databases, why they are needed, and how they are used. The chapter gives a nice sample program to demonstrate how they are accessed.

* Understand the need for 'sorting' data, and how data is sorted in files and databases.

* Discover how programming is used for internet software. Understand the difference between web designers and internet programmers.

There are many different computer programming languages but generally, they all apply the same concepts. It’s like telling a dog to fetch a bone either in English, or Chinese. You need to understand that the dog can fetch the bone.This book is written in layman’s terms throughout.There is no use of programming syntax – so anyone can follow.

The aim of the book is to explain the different tools that are used to develop a program, that are common to all computer programming languages.

And much more!..
