Being a programmer is more than just about spending hours coding in front of a well-lit computer. For those in the tech industry, programmers are minds that build the computing world. Programmers create apps and programs, computer language, and operating systems that are backbones of other technologies, which are in turn crucial to industries.
Computer programmers turn thoughts into reality. When a developer makes software, the programmer creates codes that will make the program function. They create software that can run on different gadgets like tablets and smartphones as well. Programmers are also responsible for removing errors, installing updates, and testing for bugs.

There are two types of programmers: systems programmers and application programmers. Application programmers customize and upgrade software programs that will fit a certain programs. System programmers create operating systems, taking on a more holistic approach on how applications can work well in computers.
If you want to be a successful computer programmer, you must be able to recognize (and communicate) through computer languages like HTML, Java, or C-programming, among others. It is also important that you earn a Bachelor’s or Associate Degree in Technology, Computer Programming, or Computer Engineering.

Programmers must be willing to constantly learn new languages, programs, and techniques. After all, technology is ever changing. Competition is tough when it comes to programming, so you have to be geared for “war” if you want to survive and maintain your position in the industry.
