| − | Programming, in short, is a wonderful world. Computers would be nowhere without it. Programming basically follows three steps for most languages:
| |
| − | | |
| − | *1: Inputting commands into an interpreter
| |
| − | *2: Telling the interpreter to convert those commands into a language the computer understands (machine code)
| |
| − | *3: Finding glitches (things you didn't want to happen, or things that didn't happen at all) and fixing them.

| − | Most programming languages do not allow you to learn them in one night. Some are more straightforward than others, heightening the learning curve. I started out with LUA (actually in a game called ROBLOX), then I went on to experiment with VB.Net. (A version off of VB6) For those of you interested in beginning with programming, VB.Net is a good place to start off with. For those of you in College/High school, you are entitled to a free download of Visual Studio 2008. That is Microsoft's IDE (Internal Development Environment). Generally it costs several hundred dollars, but for students, there's a place called [http://www.dreamspark.com DreamSpark.] Perfectly legal.

| − | == Flash ==
| |
| − | Programming in flash uses one of two programming languages.
| |
| − | Actionscript 2 or 3.
| |
| − | (Actionscript 2 is a continuation of Actionscript 1, and therefor is the same thing.)<br/>
| |
| − | Both are very different and have their own uses.
| |
| − | | |
| − | <br/>
| |
| − | Although Actionscript 3 is newer, it is not exactly better.<br/>
| |
| − | Actionscript 2 was engineered by Macromedia (now Adobe) and was entirely logic based.<br/>
| |
| − | In Actionscript 2, you could code using Object Oriented Programming, or whichever way you preferred.
| |
| − | After Adobe bought out Macromedia and took over Flash, they released Actionscript 3, an extremely limited programming language.
| |
| − | Actionscript 3 does not support OOP and provides little to no flexibility.<br/>
| |
| − | All code must be placed on a frame in the timeline, whereas Actionscript 2 allowed code to be placed inside or on several different types of symbols, such as movie clips, buttons, or even text fields,<br/> as well as the timeline.<br/>
| |
| − | Actionscript 3's simplicity allows it to operate faster than Actionscript 2, it also features new methods to code with and an expanded mathematical library.<br/>
| |
| − | If not for these few, but crucial, upgrades, it would be pointless altogether.
