programming

Programming may refer to:

• Broadcast programming, scheduling content for television
• Computer programming, the act of instructing computers to perform tasks
  • Programming language, an artificial language designed to communicate instructions to a machine
  • Game programming, the software development of video games
• Dramatic programming, fictional television content
• Mathematical programming, or optimization, is the selection of a best element
• Neuro-linguistic programming, a pseudoscientific method aimed at modifying human behavior
• Programming (music), generating music electronically

Computer programming (often shortened to programming, sometimes called coding) is a process that leads from an original formulation of a computing problem to executable computer programs. Programming involves activities such as analysis, developing understanding, generating algorithms, verification of requirements of algorithms including their correctness and resources consumption, and implementation (commonly referred to as coding) of algorithms in a target programming language. Source code is written in one or more programming languages. The purpose of programming is to find a sequence of instructions that will automate performing a specific task or solving a given problem. The process of programming thus often requires expertise in many different subjects, including knowledge of the application domain, specialized algorithms and formal logic.

Das Wort Programming steht für:

• Sendeschema, programmgestalterische Maßnahmen eines Rundfunksenders, siehe Rundfunkprogramm
• eine Form der Schleichwerbung, siehe Programming (Schleichwerbung)
• in der Musikproduktion das Ausarbeiten des Arrangements mittels programmierter Sequenzen, siehe Sequenzer (Musik).

Programmierung (von griechisch prógramma ‚Vorschrift‘) bezeichnet die Tätigkeit, Computerprogramme zu erstellen. Das ist ein Teilbereich der Softwareentwicklung und umfasst vor allem die Umsetzung (Implementierung) des Softwareentwurfs in Quellcode sowie – je nach Programmiersprache – das Übersetzen des Quellcodes in die Maschinensprache, meist unter Verwendung eines Compilers.

Dans le domaine de l'informatique, la programmation est l'ensemble des activités qui permettent l'écriture des programmes informatiques. C'est une étape importante du développement de logiciels (voire de matériel).
