Learn to Code

What does it mean to code?

When a software developer writes code, they are creating instructions for the computer to perform tasks like do math, display a webpage, or store information. Developers use programming languages like Python or Java to write these instructions in a file. When they run the program, a special language-specific program on the computer translates those lines of Python or Java code into something the computer understands.
