Computer Programming

From Conservapedia

Computer Programming has a few definitions. The one described here is Free Software computer programming.

The rise of the internet and the availability of free software allows one to erase (for example) windows from a pc, then place (for example) Linux there. Linux has a nice desktop similar to Windows. From there one can install and use a programming language. With a programming language one can program the computer to display almost anything. This is usually all free. With these free tools, once one gains some proficiency, one can create websites to do e-commerce, share photos, share video, enable databases, schedule things, provide email and almost anything else one can think up. There is a tremendous amount of opportunity for creativity and profit from computer programming. Just to sample some of the languages one can learn: lisp, haskell, smalltalk, perl, python, lua, php, ruby, erlang, c, forth, C++, java, and others. One can also download a free database such as postgresql, firebird, or mysql. Free software is fun and useful because one can play with and learn from the comfort of one's own home. Written tutorials abound on the web, and many corporations and government agencies are using free software so there are jobs and opportunities to start one own operation to solve problems as well.
