+Programming ComputerCraft computers is done with a programming language called Lua. Lua is intended to be pretty simple to use, but if you don't know how, you can check out the programming tutorials on this wiki.
-Navigating is easy.

+Do you recall that one time ages ago when you looked up "how to play Minecraft", and you got a basic guide: punch trees, make bench, make tools, build house, make torches. But do you remember the end?

-−
-To say it in English: ls '''l'''i'''s'''ts the files and folders in a directory, while cd changes the '''c'''urrent '''d'''irectory. '''/''' is the root of the computer.
-== Step 4: Test it ==
+''The rest is up to you...''
-Make sure that your program is bug-proof before using it as something important. A system controlling the state of an IndustrialCraft² Mark-III Nuclear Reactor to prevent it from overheating shouldn't crash every now and then with "Too long without yielding".
-== Step 5: Extend it ==
+ComputerCraft works the same way. The goals and uses for ComputerCraft are limitless, and now you've gotten started. There is no definite thing to do next, the rest is up to you.
-Give back your part to the community. Help others on the forums or improve the wiki. Or, make your own OS or shell to run on the computers and share it with everybody. You can even create your own peripheral blocks using the API to create even a bigger system. A mainframe, for example.

+The computer accepts many forms of redstone. For simple structures, such as a password protected door, only a single line of redstone is needed.
 However, this mod can do much more. If you need to connect multiple wires to one side, you can just use RedPower's  bundled cables, wich will let you connect 16 redstone wires to each side of the computer, or a total of 96 input/output lines when using all sides of the computer (As if you'd ever need all of them).
