Quick answer: They use a high level language to explain to the computer what they want done, almost like a conversation. Then they compile that with special software called a compiler that converts it to machine readable (or machine type readable with new langauges like Java) that are executabley ready (usually) for the computer to understand. The executable is usually a binary executable, filled with just 0s and 1s that tell the computer what to do.
Better answer: People don't program software, software programs people!

At the very least, you need a text editor, a compiler, knowledge of a language (C++, BASIC, COBOL, etc), and an idea of what you want the computer to do.
Take the idea and translate it to the language, type the lauguage instructions into the text editor, save the text, and run the text file through the compiler. Bingo -- you've programmed some software.

By learning how to program. There are lots of ways to program software. From Visual Basic to C++. They are all different types of programming languages. Try learning how to program web pages by using HTML. If you can learn C++ they say you can program anything.

Computer software is written in different types of computer language, or code. Some different types of codes that different things may be written in, including web pages, includes:
HTML
PHP
Pearl
Java
Some of these may require to have a degree in college in order to actually be a programmer.
There are also various books that you can buy and read on how to write in some codes.
You may also be able to do a search on your favorite search engine to find out more information.
I hope I helped.

One programs by thinking of the computer as an idiot-savant that must be told, in excruciating detail, what to do, step by step, micro-inch by micro-inch, as if, move your ankle forward, inhale slightly, move your ankle some more, take a slight breath, move and lift your foot, begin to exhale, move your foot forward without putting it down, continue exhaling, let your foot touch the ground, begin inhaling, place weight on foot, repeat as above, with other foot.
