Coding and programming.

Coding is the process of translating and writing codes from one language to another

Programming is the process of building an executable program that can be used to carry out proper machine level outputs.

Software Development and Software Engineering.

Software engineering is the process of analyzing user needs and designing, constructing, and testing end-user applications that will satisfy these needs through the use of software programming languages. It is the application of engineering principles to software development.

Different programming languages in use today.

Java. Java
Python. Python
C. If you saw C on a report card, you’d be pretty bummed.
Ruby.
JavaScript.
C#
PHP.
Objective-C.

How is Coding used in our day to day lives?

Coding helps children with communication, creativity, math, writing, and confidence.

How coding is used in your career field.

A Web Developer

Just as software development is focused on creating computer programs using programming languages, web development also uses computer code to create user-facing software, in the form of websites. Web developers use coding and writing markup to create interactive webpages.

How do you plan to use the coding knowledge you’re acquiring?

By being a Software developers means designing the technologies and systems that we rely on many times per day for business, entertainment or daily living.
