1. A computer implemented method of creating, utilizing speech recognition logic, a software program, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by a computer, an instruction to create the software program;
depicting, by the computer, a source code entry user interface including a program-editing environment;
obtaining, by the computer utilizing the speech recognition logic, a command name for invoking the software program;
automatically focusing, by the computer, an interactive entry marker to a first position in said program-editing environment for entry of a subsequently-spoken instruction;
obtaining, by the computer utilizing the speech recognition logic, said subsequently-spoken instruction, said subsequently-spoken instruction being susceptible of multiple interpretations;
interpreting said subsequently-spoken instruction in the context of said program-editing environment to identify, by the computer, a programming instruction that corresponds to said subsequently-spoken instruction, said programming instruction being susceptible of being handled via at least execution, editing, or insertion, according to a current environment;
determining, by the computer, to handle said programming instruction via insertion according to said program-editing environment;
determining, by the computer, that said programming instruction syntactically requires at least one delimited parameter;
automatically inserting, by the computer, said programming instruction and a matched set of delimiters at said first position;
automatically re-focusing, by the computer, said interactive entry marker to a second position between said matched set of delimiters in said program-editing environment for entry of at least one subsequently-spoken parameter;
after automatically re-focusing said interactive entry marker, obtaining, utilizing the speech recognition logic, said at least one subsequently-spoken parameter;
automatically inserting, by the computer, said at least one subsequently-spoken parameter at said second position between said matched set of delimiters, said programming instruction, said matched set of delimiters, and said at least one subsequently-spoken parameter forming a syntactically-valid programming instruction in a computer programming language;
generating, by the computer, the software program including said syntactically-valid programming instruction; and
associating, by the computer, said generated software program with said command name, such that said command name, when recognized by said speech recognition logic, invokes said generated software program.
