Most people are intimidated by the thought of learning how to program, however as with anything, the more you practice the easier it gets.


Computer Science is practiced by mathematicians, scientists and engineers.


All computer files are made of binary code, with a 8 1s and 0s being a byte, and a single 1 or 0 being a bit.


Each binary string has eight binary bits that will look like a bunch of zeros and ones in a certain pattern unique for each letter of a word


Computers run on binary code—written in 1s and 0s—which is very difficult for humans to work with.

There are many names for people who code: coders, programmers, developers, computer scientists, software engineers, etc.


Almost anything that is powered by electricity uses some sort of code.


"Coding"is writing a set of instructions (or rules) that computers can understand; it might be helpful to think of code as a recipe.


The median salary for a Java developer in the U.S. is $83,975. There are 9 million Java developers worldwide.


Java was created when a group was building a set-top box and started "cleaning up" C++ when they wound up with a new language.
