Unit 8 Listen and Read:
Programming and global computer networks
Programming is giving written instructions in a logical manner that the computer can understand. Essentially, you give the computer small steps of instructions, and the computer goes down the list, executing each one in order. Programming allows you to make new software and have the computer do new things. Web site programming is the same except you write applications or web pages that are used by a web browser. Web Site Programming is the practice of writing applications that run on a web server and can be used by many different people. Many applications work really well as a web application. You are able to upload and view pictures, send email and lookup directions using these web applications and they are all made possible through web site programming. When you access your page with a browser, your web server will parse, or read through, your HTML page line by line and when it comes across a programming language, it will execute the code.
