The Tools of Programming

You need some pretty basic stuff: a data store (place to keep the data also called "model", not to be confused with the overall system model / concept), a transformation / business logic layer (this is the thing that takes user input and converts it to and from the data store (these are also your "controller"), and a UI / front-end. The UI need not be graphical, it could be a phone, text message, whatever, you just have to be aware of the interactions with the system that you create and handle the user input and output of different views / screens to the user. This is also called the "View". Happy programming!
