Site purpose

The purpose of the website would be to educate visitors on different programming languages. Irrespective of a persons knowledge level in programming, the website would be able to provide the information necessary to complete a real project or a student assignment. This can be accomplished by following three different strategies.

Tutorials
FAQ section listing out common queries and solutions
User Forum  

Target audience
The audience for the website includes students, aspiring programmers, professionals and even experienced veterans in the software industry. The website would help the visitors learn new technologies as well as advance their knowledge in a specific programming language. The website would also serve as a forum for programming enthusiasts to share ideas and help out each other.  

Content needs
The content of the website should be able to cater to a diverse group of audience with different levels of mastery in various programming languages. This would include an array of programming languages pertaining to webpage creation, database development and application software development on various platforms. The websites backbone would the step-by-by tutorials on how to code to create programs using a specific language (Programming Tutorials, 2010). Providing adequate examples of programs and illustrations would also be necessary to help the user understand the tutorial better (W3Schools, 2010). The FAQ section would be constantly updated by scouring through Internet forums discussing programming queries and solutions.

The content should be organized and made easily accessible to the users, to ensure repeat visitor and referrals (World Wide Web Consortium, 2010). This can be accomplished by allocating separate pages for every programming language, while the link to those pages would reside on the homepage of the website. The programming languages would be divided based on their application. For instance, Visual Basic would come under application software, while HTML would be listed under webpage development software.
