  1. Program creation and design

Program design

As is the case when creating any artefact and especially an IT artefact such as a computer program, a mobile application or a web page you should always start with some design of the artefact. In addition, you need to problem solve that is solve the problem at hand programmatically. In order to do that two common methods are algorithms and/or pseducode that you use to describe how to solve a problem.
