If you are a newcomer to programming it's easy to get lost in the technical jargon, before even getting to the language you want to learn.

What are statements, operators, and functions?
How to structure, build and deploy a program?
What is functional programming and object oriented programming?
How to store, manage and exchange data?
These are topics many programming guides don't cover, as they are assumed to be general knowledge to most developers. That is why this guide has been created. It is the ultimate primer to all programming languages.
