For example, with the core Java programming knowledge I had obtained, it took me less than a month to learn how to program in a language called Objective C (which is used for iPhone apps). That's powerful stuff! Here are the5 basic concepts of any programming language: ...
You might assume that a programming language whose primary purpose was to help almost anybody become computer-literate would be uncontroversial—maybe even universally beloved. You’d be wrong. BASIC always had its critics among serious computer science types, who accused it of promoting bad habits....

The "Basic" part refers to the BASIC (Beginners All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) language, a language used by more programmers than any other language in the history of computing. Visual Basic has evolved from the original BASIC language and now contains several hundred statements, functions...
programming: buttons, menus, and other elements ofgraphical user interfaces (GUIs). Visual Basic can also be used within other Microsoftsoftwareto program small routines. Visual Basic was succeeded in 2002 by Visual Basic .NET, a vastly different language based on C#, a language with similarities...
Python has several built-in data types that you can use out of the box because they’re built into the language. From all the built-in types available, you’ll find that a few of them represent basic objects, such as numbers, strings and characters, bytes, and Boolean values. Note that...

in 1991. It's been used for decades to automate processes, generate macros, and help individuals by performing repetitive tasks.7Other, more powerful computer languages may have greater capabilities but VBA is still useful and holds the advantage of being an easier, more basic language to learn...
A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among developers working in that language. The "System Libraries" of an ...
Programming language constructs Statement structure As per usual in old school BASIC, all program statements must be prefixed with a line number which indicates the order in which the statements may be executed. There is no renumber command to allow all line numbers to be modified. A statement ...
