It has been here since the very beginning of the modern computer era, circa the 1950s, and it is proving now that it is more important than ever, with the sudden surge in the demand for software applications of all kinds, because of the confinement situation that wants us to stay at home and to work remotely. It is computer programming.
A certain number of elements come together to make the Internet work. Electricity, various computer hardware, cabling, data storage, Internet Service Providers, routers, protocols, etc. Whereas each is indispensable, the system would not work at all without good programming. It is worth remembering that, on the dark side of technology, computer viruses too are nothing but programmes.
At the basic level of the web, a good browser is the programme, the software tool that lets you open a window to look at the world. Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge are the main browsers, with Google’s Chrome claiming the market lion’s share with about 56 per cent of the world web traffic, according to computer science vs computer programming report last month. Google has just announced that given the crisis situation it is postponing just a little the release of Chrome’s upcoming version update.
