What is modern programming?

Question

Programming

I am engaged in web design, I know html, css, but my whole understanding of programming comes down to "if then else", mastered in the second year of university. Please explain what programming is today? Or share a book where it will be available described.
Thank you.

Answer 1

All software still stands on if then else for while.

Answer 2

Programming now is about assembling systems from ready-made blocks, and writing such small blocks when there are none (very rare cases).
Beginners, on the other hand, think that programming is such an extremely rare case.

Answer 3

basically looking for available solutions and adapting (coding) them to your needs.
