ArcObjects ArcObjects are the building blocks of ArcGIS. With
ArcObjects, you can create your own menus, tools, workflows, applications, and custom feature classes for use with ArcGIS.
ESRI ArcObjects is the development platform for the ArcGIS family of applications, such as ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcScene, ArcGIS Engine, and ArcGIS Server. The ArcObjects software components expose the full range of functionality available in ArcInfo, ArcEditor, and ArcView to software developers
Can use VBA, Python, C++, Java to program

For ArcGIS 10 and Python 2.6.5:
import arcpy
Tells Python to import basic ArcGIS geoprocessing functionality
*****
from arcpy import env
Tells Python to import ability to control the ArcGIS Environment
*****
from arcpy.sa import *
arcpy.CheckOutExtension("Spatial")
Example: Tells Python to import functionality from ArcGIS Spatial Analyst
and a second command to get/check the Spatial Analyst license

Python uses forward slashes, different than Windows using back slashes
Double quotes pass text strings
Single quotes contain text strings intended to pass variable names
