Scripting Unleashed - Programming?

Top  Previous  Next

One of questions asked multiple times in MMB community: is MMB scripting - programming ?

And once for all times, let's give the answer: YES !

You become a programmer the same moment you write one line of code in MMB.

It's nothing unusual, indeed. When you set VCR to auto-record your favorite show on TV - programming is done. Writing scenario for a movie is programming (of actors & objects).

Even telling your children how to write their very first letters or instructing someone how to swim or skate - no matter how unrelated to computers it is - you're programming, all the time ! As a matter of fact, after all these centuries of natural programming, we just recently started to instruct machines what to do instead of us.

Take for example some everyday products:

TwoSprays

They include instructions on the back, telling what you must do with the product:

SprayInstructions

So if these manufacturers can do some programming, nothing stops you from doing it:

SprayInstructionsCode

 

And what's the main difference ?

You have much more powerful tool in your hands !
