Dear All,

Hello! I am a programming apprentice. I would like to gaher from all guru's opinions and experience to
clarify and define the following question.

***What is the basic of basic in computer programming?***
Because everything start from the basic scratch. I would like to build a concrete foundation.
Like playing badminton, need to practice right pose first and then develop right running strategy before really going to play in the field.

one can dry run the program in the brain?
flow chart writing?
data structure understanding?
algorithm?
or anything additional?

Thanks for your kindness!

Simon
