  2. 1:55 What constitutes “detailed nuts and bolts” seems to vary over time, though. When higher-level languages were first invented, to take away the requirement to write in assembler, they were referred to as “automatic programming”, since the “program” was considered to be the actual executable machine code, the source code being a kind of “specification” of how to generate that. HTML still requires you to worry about the “detailed nuts and bolts” of setting up a form and defining its fields and their CSS properties, for example. If you want to go higher level than that, you resort to something like JQuery.
