	The key to becoming a good programmer is learning to explain things in the language that a computer understands. Computers understand a language that consists of a series of 1s and 0s, which can make talking to a computer pretty tough. What makes it less difficult is “teaching” a computer is a language such as Business Rules!, which uses lots of easy-to-remember words and terms to describe its own functions.

	This step-by-step tutorial will show you how to give instructions to a computer using the Business Rules! programming environment. When you finish, you will be familiar with and be able to use most of the Business Rules! capabilities that professional programmers use. You'll be able to write your own code and impress people by making sense out of ~~the "gobbledygook" that are called~~ programs.

You'll be able to write your own code and impress people by making sense out of complex programs.

	Before you plunge into the world of programming, there are a few things that you should become familiar with: the operating system you're using, how to enter and exit Business Rules!, how to move around within Business Rules!, and the general form of a Business Rules! syntax sentence.
