Not Just for Computers!

Although the word ``programming'' implies computer programming, concepts used in programming are much more general than their application in computers. Consider instructions in a recipe, or instructions to assemble a piece of furniture (like a bookself). Those are also programs, except they were written to be followed by people, not executed by computers.

A program, in its most general sense, is merely a sequence of instructions arranged to solve a particular problem.

If you know how to teach a younger sibling or a child how to perform a task, you already know, to an extent, how to program.
