+## What is Programming?
+
+Programming is when you give instructions to a computer.
+However, the instructions are written in a language that the computer can read
+and understand.
+These languages are programming languages and there are many different types that have different or sometimes
+similar usages.
+In FRC, Java, C++ and Python are three programming languages that are used to program robots.
+
+## What is Java?
+
+Java is also an object-oriented programming language, which means its work is done by having objects that different actions,
+or functions, are called on.
+Java is also the most common programming language used in FRC which is why FRCSoftware in Java.
+For FRC teams that use Java, learning Java is first step for learning how to program a robot.
+
+## Why Program in FRC?
+
+In FIRST Robotics, robots are made out of many mechanisms.
+They have drive trains, flywheels, arms, intakes, elevators, etc. Programming is
+important in FIRST Robotics because code is used to program motors, and sensors which allows those different mechanisms to move.
+Teams can use
+sensors on a motor to deploy an intake, program the intake’s motor to spin so it can pick up a foam ball, program a drive train, etc.
+FIRST Robotics Competition, teams also program autonomous features for the portion of the game where robots drive themselves.
+In autonomous, points are typically doubled
+so it's important to have code written which allows the robot to score points using preprogrammed instructions.
