There is already a page on the MUMPS programming language. This page is intended to describe programming from the perspective of MUMPS, and the basic concepts of the language.

Niklaus Wirth, in a book named Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs, felt that equation described one of the fundamental topics of computer programming. His book was published by Prentice-Hall in 1976 and is arguably one of the most influential computer science books of the time.

But if you are just starting to understand computers and programming, this is the same as saying Blargh + Foobar = Quux. It's not as simple as just explaining what each of the words mean, either. Learning to program needs a person to develop a fundamental mindset that relates things they are comfortable with, to things inside the mysterious world of computers.
