Answer 2

Writing a computer program is like answering a question or finding a solution to a problem. It is a MEANS to an end, not the end objective itself.
There are several free computer languages, than run on Windows, that can do many things for you.
All computer programs do the following:
1. Obtain some information by reading the input from a source. It can be on a web page, in a file on the hard drive or in a database, for example.
2. Process the information according to the design of the program. Sort the information into alphabetical order. Look up an address in a database. Dial a phone number using a modem.
3. Produce some type of output that is available to the user. Another web page with results might be displayed. A file could be created that would be printed. A database could be updated with a new record.

The prime objective of writing a program is to do it in the easiest way possible. You might know exactly what you want your program to do, but if you pick the wrong computer language, it might not allow you to do what you want.
So, you don't just go pick a programming language like REXX, PHP, Java, C++, COBOL, Perl, Pascal or Visual Basic and expect that it will do anything that you want.
Some languages are better than others for writing your own computer games and graphics. Other languages are better for use on a web site.
Since you do not know how to write a computer program yet, it would be easier to choose an area that you are interested in learning or that you could use on a job. Then talk to professional programmers in that area. Ask them what is the easiest to learn and which is the most popular or useful.
You will become very frustrated and reach several dead-ends by lack of organizing your study and learning.

Just because I know how to write a program does not mean that I'm going to write one to solve each problem. I may use existing tools that exist in MS Office to produce a report much more quickly than I could create a program, test it to see that it works properly and actually run it under Windows.
