If you decide to write your own computer program, first think again, do you really want to do programming? After all, writing your own program is a rather laborious task, and only at first glance it seems simple. But, if you have finally decided to write a program, here are some tips on this topic.
It is necessary
To do this, you need to know the basics of programming
Instructions
Step 1
Decide what the program you are going to write will be devoted to, what tasks it will solve. It depends solely on your imagination and taste preferences. Or, perhaps, you are faced with the fact that you did not find a convenient program on the Internet to solve your problem and therefore decided to write your own. The main thing at this stage is to imagine exactly what audience it will be designed for.
Step 2
Decide what operating system it will run on. The Windows operating system is the most popular among our compatriots. So if you write your program with our audience in mind, then it is most correct to opt for it.
Step 3
Select programming tools. To create applications for Windows, the most widespread programming languages are MS Visual Basic, Borland Delphi, Borland C ++ Builder. These languages allow you to compose a program according to the principle of a children's designer - you assemble a single whole from the finished parts.
Step 4
Find your own flavor, how your program will differ from other programs in this direction.
Step 5
Develop a program interface. If this is your first application, stop at the standard Windows interface. Use the shape designer and object inspector. They will help you not only understand what the interface of your program will be at the programming stage, but also set the properties of objects, which will greatly simplify the whole process.
Step 6
Form your author's ideas into an algorithm. If your program is serious enough and works with its own file type, register it with the program. Registration can be performed by a special installer file, and it must be possible to call the full file name.
Step 7
Write a help file. To do this, you can use a special compiler. The compiler comes with any visual programming environment (Delphi, Visual Basic, Visual C ++) hc.exe.
Step 8
Create a distribution package for the program. A distribution kit is an archive copy of your program with additional features. During unzipping, the user specifies the folder where the program will be installed, maybe the type of installation, etc. A readme.txt file is traditionally attached to the distribution kit, which contains information about the name and version of the program, the date of its release, and a brief description. The program is written
