Programing Languages
Thousands of different programming languages make it possible for us to create
computer software, apps and websites.
Instead of writing binary code, they let us write code that is (relatively) easy for us to
write, read and understand.
Each language comes with a special program that takes care of translating what we write
into binary code.
All software is written in some kind of coding language. And every coding language is
unique, designed with a certain operating system, platform, coding style and intended
use in mind.

Python

Hour of Code
What is the Hour of Code?
The Hour of Code is a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify
code and show that anybody can learn the basics.
When is the Hour of Code?
Anybody can host an Hour of Code anytime, but the grassroots campaign goal is for tens
of millions of students to try an Hour of Code during December 7-13, 2015, in celebration
of Computer Science Education Week.
Is it one specific hour?
No. You can do the Hour of Code anytime during this week. (And if you can't do it during
that week, do it the week before or after).
Wrap up
Teaching young learners how to code on a large scale will help change the paradigm of
children, and ultimately adults, from being technology consumers to technology producers.
And that's precisely what our students and our country need right now. So jump in and start
coding today!!!
