 # Programming In General
 
+Programming In General is a text resource for people to use to learn how to program.
+This resource is recommended for both those seasoned verterans who want to learn something new
+or even those who have never learned a programming language before.
+
+Programming In General is written in a code agnostic format allowing readers to translate 
+the examples to which ever programming language they would like.
+
+Enjoy.
