P1 Explain the choice of programming languages for a proposed solution
An introduction into what computing program you will be developing. Who are the target audience,
and why do you want to develop this application?
Visual Basic.NET (VB.NET) is a third-generation event-driven programming language. It was
developed by Microsoft for their operating system windows in 1987. Visual basic is a high-level
programming language. It is written using simple English words, it is an interpreted language. Code
can be run immediately after being written. Visual Basic allows programmers to develop a graphical
user interface (GUI) to choose and modify preselected sections of code written in
the BASIC programming language. BASIC means Beginners' All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code.
VB.Net programming has been prepared for the beginners to help them learn basic programming
language. Why
I want to develop Visual Basic.NET programming language because it is easy to learn and fast to
write a code. It is one of the most popular and powerful programming languages. There’s a lot of
good resources such as websites, material and books that can help programmers to learn the
language. Visual Basic.NET is designed to allow programmers to create an executable code, it
enables programmers to develop programs that can be used as front end to databases.
Programmers can find the answers to the problem much easier than other programming language.
What is programming and how do computers understand code?
Programming is a process of writing computer programs. Programming is writing a coded
instructions or programs to instruct a computer or other devices to perform a specific task. The
instructions or programs is written by programmers are known as software. Programming language
is used to create a computer program. Low level language such as machine language uses binary
code (0 and 1) to communicate with computer whereas high-level language such as Java, JavaScript,
C, C++, C# and Visual Basic uses English language to write a code.
Computers understands code by following the instructions of a higher programming language. High
level languages are translated into C code using an Interpreter. So, it’s the same as translating any
language to another. C code is compiled (translated) into assembly code with a basic instruction.
Then the assembly code is translated to machine code with the binary numbers. Lastly the machine
code interacts with the computer hardware such as processor, disks, CPU and memory. Compilers
and Interpreters are 3 members of a class of programs whose main purpose is to translate
programming languages to machine language. Machine language is a binary encoded set of
instructions that CPUs can interpret to perform operations.
