How to Become a Programmer

How to Become a Programmer? - A Simple Introduction

To be a good programmer is difficult and noble. The hardest part of making real a collective vision of a software project is dealing with one's coworkers and customers. Writing computer programs is important and takes great intelligence and skill. But it is really child's play compared to everything else that a good programmer must do to make a software system that succeeds for both the customer and myriad colleagues for whom she is partially responsible.

The main quality of a programmer is his/her thinking power. If a programmer is a good thinker, then he can make some real great programs with ease. The best program is that one which gets to its destiny in simpler steps and more quickly. There could be many paths to the destiny, but you have to select the best path from it. That is the main needed quality of a programmer.

Another thing needed for a best programmer is his/her solving power. He/she should be efficient to solve confusing problems. A program may run through different stages. Some of them are may be stages which are not think by the developed programmer. On those cases, errors ( bugs ) may occur. So the programmer need to be think one step ahead.

Skills on mathematics also helps in programming.

To become a programmer, first you have to learn a basic program ( say C ) neatly. It is better to understand the concept of Object Oriented Programs ( Say C++ ). After learning, practice it. Make as much as programs by you, without copying any thing. Make more and more programs. Now you are approcing to the destiny: To Become A Best Programmer.

That is a good article to become a programmer.

I think C++ is the basic language that included with most of the features. So it is better to begin with C++. Still C++ lagging with data base concept. It normally relays on files.

So Java is the next option. But still C++ is best choice because they cover the basics of programming.

I study C++, in myfield even C is better, because we program hardware so the most premitive languages is the more effective, assembly is even preferred more but takes hell alot time more

Today, the world is concentrating on frame work programs. They don't have enough time for making core program codes. Every thing comes on packages. Just place or use them in right places.

Most of the software now developing are based on this technique and that normally eats the computer's space and processing power.

well.. thats not what we do, we program hardware

Iam not talking about you. I am just pointing the software development fields. Every softwares are now depending on frame works. That saves lots of money by saving several person months for the project.

oh yea.. have u seen phoenix yet?

Java is a good language too. I think after C, Java will be very amazing language for learners. Java is strong and esy language which means very different from others. Because generally languages are strong or easy. Many of them can't have both features.

Java is not the most promising language on the field of software engineering. Many of big IT companies developing softwares based on Java.

One of its great feature is multi threading feature.

You can make any applications with Java. J2E also helps to Boom Java Programming.

yea.. but complex java applications are always eating up alot of memory which drives people away, or lets not say complex.. but unprofessional

Normally Java applications are not using on distributed softwares.

They are very handy for enterprise applications.

I use some of them like Globe7 which used to be so slow, but they fixed it now. And I used to try limewire and it took alot of memory

What is that "phoenix" ?

I never heard about that.

Pheonix is the new framework microsoft is working on, basically its a huge improvement for c++ optimization

Phoenix Framework is a codename for Microsoft's upcoming compiler and analysis tools which will form the basis of future versions of Microsoft Visual Studio.

So the benefits are with the Visual Studio.

Its not a compiler, I already used it. Its a framework

CodeName = Name for a group of Codes = Frame Work.

That is what I mean.

oh, yes then your right.. I don't know if its out 4 good. out not yet, i had a RC

Well,with what shall i start now? I'm really confused? I know C,BASIC n FORTRAN only.

If you are newbie to the programming world, you need to start with basic languages. It is better if you start from the Hexadecimal machine language (assembly language). But that is not possible.

Always C is the better option to start for a newbie. If you are good on C, you can easily conquer all other programs. Just need to learn the concepts of object oriented programming and frame works.
