Computer science programming is often known as 'coding' or 'developing'. Usually computer science programming demands in writing, modifying, fixing, and maintaining the source code of a computer software program. Since the software source code is written in a computer science programming languages, the programmer or 'coder' needs to know the programming language in depth, the coder needs to know the programming language in-and-out as the source code is written using a computer programming language. The objective of computer science programming is to have a piece of software that helps to execute some activity.



In any software development model the stage computer science programming is thought as the core step of making the software. Although there are ongoing debates on whether the computer science programming is an art or engineering practice, I personally think that computer science programming is an engineering practice. This is basically due to that fact that there is a lot of logic being employed in the field.

looking at the history of 'programming' it has had a different form. First of all, it was all mechanically predefined operation that was presented as programming. One of the most famous 'programming' incidents was Al-Jazari's robotic musicians who were programmed using pegs and cams. Although this 'programming' was completely different from the type of the programming we see at present, there was a positive influence from the historical programming concepts to the modern 'programming' concepts.

There are a few demands to fulfill in the modern computer science programming. In the good old days, the quality of a software solution was not a important element. But at present, it is one of the factors that decide whether the software is marketable or not. When it comes to quality, efficiency, performance, reliability, robustness, usability, and portability are viewed as the critical factors. If any source code overlooks any of these features, then that piece of code is not thought as a quality code. For making the programmer's life easy, there are many algorithms introduced and standardized. These algorithms are principally designed for addressing the problems of complex software programming. In addition to that, there are a number of methodologies introduced for making the computer science programming practice easy. There are four computer programming language classes based on the methodologies; procedural (or structured), functional, and logical. Based on the methodology, these programming languages are flawless for software development in deferent fields.
