If you need to use a programming language like Small Basic or Visual Basic how did they create the first program? The only thing I can think of is Binary, but writing a program in Binary would take a very very long time. |

The first computer programs were made up of binary punch cards. That was the first real programming language and yes it took forever do work with. As time went on long binary codes where grouped together into sets of instructions, like the present libraries. That's how it all started and now we try to simplify the libraries and packages but it's really the same thing.. This library contains this, you write some lines on how the program is gonna use the library. Kinda like words and endings if you will. |

The first program on an electronic device was not made using a language. It was done by building a circuit. |
|
The first programs were written in machine code. Each processor and sub-controller has built in instructions that they use to process data with. Machine code is low-level code that runs directly through the processor. Languages like Visual basic need to be compiled or interpreted so the computer can actually understand them. Computers don't understand Visual Basic commands on their own/ |
