[header] How to start learning computer programming [title] Choose a programming language. [step] Computer programming is done as essentially a set of written instructions that the computer follows (also known as binary coding). These instructions can be written in a number of different " languages ", or which are simply different ways of organizing the instructions and text. 
Different languages tend to be used to create different types of programs, however, so choose a language that you feel is relevant to what you want to do. If you decide that a language does not suit your needs, you can always move on to a new language.
