What is "programming" anyway?
"Programming" means telling a computer what to do, by writing words that it can understand. We call these words "code". They are similar to human language, and are written in a simple text file with a text editor.
That's the basic idea — of course there's a lot more to it after that: "That's why they pay us the big bucks!"
