NOTE-TO-SELF: This book seems to be more about computer introduction than programming introduction? The Compiler section seems to be the only thing associated with programming - the rest seems more like the Computer introduction book?

=== Introduction ===

In this presentation the student will be introduced to programming by comparing
programming to normal every day actions, such as washing clothes.

In this lecture we will get a better understanding of the compiler and
the steps performed when compiling source code.

==== Purpose ====

The purpose of this presentation is to make it easier for the student to understand the following lectures.

Writing software in languages such as C, C++ and Java means you at some point must transform your source, which is in text form, into a form executable by either the operating system or a virtual machine.

=== Requirements ===

It is assumed that the student is familiar with OS (operating system), program, file system, file and file types.

No previous programming knowledge is required.

The following concepts:
* hardware 
* os 
* virtual-machine 
* filetype

==== Goal ==== 

After this lecture the student shall have basic understanding of what a program is, how it is written and how it relates to every day actions we humans do.

The student should:

* understand the role of a compiler

== Programming == 

===Description===
Programming is the practice of writing text files (so called source code files) where you express instructions to be performed by a computer. You express these instructions using a so called programming language, which is a set of rules for how to write said instructions.

The product of programming is a set of source code text files which typically are transformed into a a file or several files in language which is also understood by the computer or some existing computer program. This transformation from source code to files that are meaningful to the computer (or some existing computer software) is generally referred to as compiling.

Further on in this book, we will also address different ways to analyse what we want our programs to do, as well as different ways to accomplish that. Those activities may also be seen as activities belonging to the practice of programming.
