What is Programming?

Programming is the practice of writing software code to create computer programs. A programmer may be a person who writes code, or it may be an automated process that runs on a device such as a computer or smartphone. Programmers usually work with and test their code by running it in a simulation environment called an "interpreter" before releasing the product to market. This helps ensure that the program works as intended and can run smoothly on different devices. Programming languages include Python, Java, Ruby, C++ and many more.

Programming topics include syntax, best practices, and general programming advice. Programming-related articles may also cover industry trends, hot new tech on GitHub, or emerging technologies. Related topics for this tag include devops, ux design, testing tools, and task runners.
