First Thing First

Introduce

A programming language is an artificial language that can be used to control the behavior of a machine, particularly a computer

'Programming' is the act of instructing a computer to do your bidding. Computer games are made up of millions of individual instructions that tell the computer what to draw where, how to make the characters act, what to show on screen and so on. These instructions are what bring together the art, sound and story, much like a film director calls out, "Lights, Camera, Action!". (Although Programming is not quite that simple, yet!)
