Why Programming

Before we go into the topic of ‘why programming’ first let us know what is programming?

Programming is the method of taking an algorithm and encoding it into a notation, a programming language, so that it will be executed by a computer. Or in just simple words “Programming is a language of telling a computer what to do through a set of instructions”

There are different types of programming languages used, for example:

·       Python

·       PHP

·       C language

·       JAVA and more..

So why programming? What’s so BIG about it? Why is it important?

The first thing,

In today’s world everything is done on computers;

From sending an email/a report or even as simple as a picture to a distant colleague/friend/relative to having an important meeting on Skype!

EVERYTHING!

Having a computer/laptop has become a necessity for every single individual as it is fast, very reliable and easy to use.

So it's said that if computers are a part of your life, then learning to program is going to boost your life!

The main reason why people learn programming is because they want to make a career by create websites for businesses or mobile applications.

That is not the only reason you need to learn programming; programming can also help increase the efficiency and productivity of a person as well!

How you ask?

Let’s take an example of a Youtuber;

I believe everybody knows who youtubers are? For those who don’t know, Youtuber’s are those people who upload daily content on YouTube.

A Youtuber after recording a video has to edit and upload it, right?

But it’s not an easy as task, there are different aspects he/she has to take care of for making the videos attractive; there is audio, there is Video, there is Animations etc. Because they have to be organized; they create a folder for each of them so the individual does not get confused what to put where?

Now! Creating a folder for each of them according to the scene can be time consuming; it would basically take hours just to organize it!

If that person knew basics of PYTHON; he would be able to make a script asking him, how many folders do you want? What would be the name of the folder? And so on; and that was it! He would just save hours of headache of organizing by compressing it into three simple steps or so.

It is not said that everybody should become a programmer or anything like that. BUT! Everybody should know at least the basics of it. So that they can work smartly and increase their productivity.
