Computer programming
From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change
Computer programming is the process of making a program to run on a computer or console-based system. A computer program, or software, is written in one of many programming languages.
[change] Compiler
A compiler is a program that turns a finished program script into a proper program that can be run. Some programs actually help make the script - these are called IDEs - Visual Basic and REALBasic are two examples.
[change] Executables
'Executables' are computer programs that run when a user double-clicks on them on a computer. They often end with '.exe' or '.com' (deprecated), if the program is made for Windows.
These are the finished product of a program. The IDE makes this program from the script that is given to it.
