How exactly a software or apps is made? I'm very really new to these techs, but Internet Revolution has made me realise that I had better keep up with trends and times or I will be swept away by the currents of freeloadings, and not doing anything productively.

Could you give me some concept and context as to how a software is really made? I'm new to programming

and i have also learnt the term IDE, which is what is used to make softwares and apps. What programming language and IDE should I use as a start to learn programming and software engineering, computer science

Using my own words: For desktop app, they are executable file in binary file format (as opposed to text file), with CPU instruction (machine code) and system call to OS libraries.

To create software or applications, developers start with ideation and planning, determining what problem the application will solve and what features it will have. Then comes the design phase, which involves creating interface mockups and thinking about how users will interact with the application. After that, programmers write code using programming languages (e.g., Python, JavaScript) and then test the app to make sure it works. When everything is ready, the app is published on platforms (e.g., Google Play or App Store) or hosted. After release, developers continue to update and maintain the app, fixing bugs and adding new features.

When it comes to making software, it all starts with writing code in programming languages like Python or JavaScript. You break down the problem into smaller tasks and then write instructions for the computer to follow. It’s a lot of planning, coding, testing, and debugging. If you're just starting out, I’d suggest learning the basics first—like how loops, variables, and functions work. Once you’re comfortable with that, you can dive into building projects.

Making software is basically about turning an idea into something people can actually use. When I first got into it, I started small—like building a basic calculator or a to-do list app. You start with a plan: what do you want it to do, and who’s it for? Then, you pick the tools and language—like Python if you’re a beginner or JavaScript for web stuff. Coding is the main chunk, and honestly, it’s a lot of trial and error, especially when you’re new. After that, you test the heck out of it to fix bugs. Once it works, you can share it or keep tweaking it based on feedback. It’s not as scary as it seems if you take it step by step.

I see. Thank you providing me with the roadmap. I'm still a baby programmer, still very new biggrin.gif

The most significant aspect is to refrain from discussing it; make it happen if you truly want to do it.

As it does, also applies in every skill acquisition else. Hence, a thread with a specific concern

Hold it. I also agree that it's better to walk the talk, to move in silence and then roar with success, rather than clamping out loud like an empty can but nothing in hands
