I was referencing OP's statement.
"conventional programming"
Key Characteristics of Conventional Programming:
Manual Code Writing
- Developers write detailed instructions in a programming language (e.g., Java, C++, Python) to tell the computer exactly what to do.
- Every logic, condition, and flow is explicitly coded.
Imperative Approach
- Focuses on how to achieve a result step by step. Example: Writing loops and conditionals to process data rather than using built-in abstractions or declarative statements.
High Technical Skill Requirement
- Requires understanding of syntax, algorithms, data structures, and debugging. No visual drag-and-drop or automation tools—everything is coded manually.
Longer Development Cycles
- Building applications from scratch without pre-built templates or AI assistance. Testing and deployment are also manual and time-intensive.
Traditional Tools
- IDEs (Integrated Development Environments) like Eclipse or Visual Studio. Version control systems like Git for collaboration.
