programa

Programa is a noun used in Spanish and Portuguese to refer to a plan or schedule of activities, as well as to a broadcast or published itinerary. It can denote a television or radio program, a conference agenda, a course syllabus, or a program of events. In these languages, the term is widely used in media, education, and daily planning. The word comes from Latin programma, ultimately from Greek prōgramma, meaning a written public notice or proclamation.

In computing, a program (often called software or application) is a set of instructions that a computer executes to perform a task. Programs are written in programming languages and converted into machine code by compilers or run by interpreters. They range from small utilities to large operating systems and enterprise systems. Software development covers analysis, design, coding, testing, and maintenance; key aspects include user interfaces, data handling, and performance.

In broadcasting and events, a program is a scheduled piece of content or activity. A TV program is a show scheduled for broadcast; a radio program is similarly scheduled. A program guide lists programs with times and descriptions. More broadly, a program can be a planned course of action or a formal agenda for a meeting or conference.
