 | Computer programming (often simply programming or coding) is the craft of implementing interrelated abstract algorithms and concepts using a particular programming language to produce a concrete computer program. |
 | Different programming languages require different levels of detail to be handled by the programmer when implementing algorithms, often resulting in a compromise between ease of use and performance (a trade-off between "programmer time" and "computer time"). |
 | Programming has become gradually easier as new languages are invented but this has opened the scene to script kiddies, who are generally seen as an annoyance because of their lack of skill whilst often claiming to be hackers. |
