Machine code

Machine code or machine language is a system of largely impartible instructions executed directly by a computer 's central processing unit (CPU). Each instruction performs a very specific task, such as a load, a jump , or an ALU operation on a unit of data in a CPU register or memory. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_code

Having trouble grasping object-oriented programming? Read Plato. - Jason Salas' WebLog

Appropriately, I've got a new "philosophy" when it comes to teaching new programmers about object-oriented programming (OOP). http://weblogs.asp.net/jasonsalas/archive/2005/03/28/396038.aspx

What if Aristotle Were a Software Engineer?

Introduction In the late seventies, Marvel Comics, the famous comics publisher (of Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, The Fantastic Four , and many others) published a new and rather unique series of comic books – the “What If…” series (“What if Spiderman Had Joined the Fantastic Four”, “What if Captain America Became President”, etc.), whose declared goal was to “explore the road never traveled”.

Code Hero raises over $100,000 for shooter that teaches computer programming

http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2012/02/code-hero-raises-over-100000-for-shooter-that-teaches-computer-programming.ars Over the years, there have been a lot of efforts to create games that make learning how to program a computer simple and fun, with widely variable results.
http://inventwithpython.com/blog/2012/03/03/nobody-wants-to-learn-how-to-program/ I frequently see a problem when people (especially techies) try to teach programming to someone (especially non-techies). Many programming tutorials begin with basic programming principles: variables, loops, data types. This is both an obvious way to teach programming and almost certainly a wrong way to teach programming.
