Understanding the language of programming


If you are considering programming as a career option, there are a couple of things you should know.

There are a couple of reasons why you should become a programmer. Programming in itself is an art. It allows you to creatively express yourself. You have the chance to create something from nothing. It can bring extreme pleasure to those practicing it by creating things that no one else has. There is also a high demand for programmers in the business industry.

There are different types of programmers, of which include:

·         System programmers, who develop scripts and code for operating systems.
·         Desktop software programmers, who develop software for use on desktops.
·         Database programmers, who develop procedures and other areas of databases.
·         Web developers, who develop websites and Web applications.
·         Mobile device programmers, who develop software and applications for mobile devices.

To be a good programmer you need to be innovative, logical, patient and persistent. Good programmers possess a couple of important attributes; they must be passionate, problem solvers and particular/thorough. They need to have a passion for programming.  Programming for them is a hobby, not a job. Another attribute is good problem-solving ability. They have creative and problem solving minds. Good programmers are also very thorough. Programmers test their coding and they program defensively.  They also have a good understanding of the complexity of algorithms.

Before you can start programming, you need to know a programming language. There are several to choose from: C#, Java, Assembly, Lisp, and the list go on and on. It is important to be at least well versed in one or more of these languages.

A career in programming demands flexibility and long hours. The career market is also highly competitive. You need distinguish yourself from the rest. Computer programming can be a career on its own, or it can be a stepping stone toward higher paying careers in computer engineering, systems analysis, or database administration.

Now that you know what programming entails, you must decide if and where you want to study, and for how long. CTU Career offers IT Systems Developer MCPD as a full time one year programme. There is also a second year option, named IT Systems Developer:Specialisation, if you want to continue your studies and be more specialised. CTU Corporate also offers part time programming programmes.
