The History and Importance of Coding

👉 Coding is the process of writing precise instructions for a computer or device to understand.

🔌 Code is essential for various everyday tasks, such as flying airplanes and swiping credit cards.

🚗 Teaching a computer what to do is like giving directions to someone who doesn't know what a car is.

💻 Coding is like writing instructions for a computer to understand and execute.

🔢 The first computer program was invented in 1801, using a binary system of holes in cards.

🧵 This program allowed for the creation of intricate weaving patterns.

📚 Coding is the process of creating a text file that follows specific rules and is eventually translated into a language that a computer can understand.

💻 Computers use billions of transistors to carry data using the basic idea of on and off.

🔢 The concept of coding originated from the idea of recorded information being read by a machine for mathematical computation.

👩‍💻 Coding involves writing code in a specific computer language and translating it into binary or machine language.

📝 The process includes a human writing code, which is then compiled into low-level language and translated into binary language.

👨‍🍳 Coding is similar to being a chef writing a recipe, as both involve creating something using available resources and tools.
