@MushroomKingdom602 Good, I am glad you found insight in my comment.
@9b8
wow this sounds ideal to me.
For all those experienced computer programmers out there, i need some help. I am currently entering high school and i have alot of free time. I want to know how to start off on programming. I take advanced math class and i can do very little algebra. Where do i start learning? (online only please) What kind of programming should i go into? (ie. making games? making little programs?) And lastly what programming language should i use? Thanks for your help in advance.
@MultiSulabh have you got a job yet and how nuch do you get paid
@so2murad Yeah bro i also understand you !
hello sir, this is mukul. i did bachelors in computer applications(software developer)
i need to know how much salary i can easily get in united states of america…..
please reply me soon…
yours truly
mukul.
@faizan19jan In the “real world” of software engineering as you elude, CS is a foundation. Educational institutions focus on fundamentals and foundational education only. But, IT is inherently face-paced and ever changing. Technologies come and go. New paradigms roll in like waves. Frankly, the academia can’t keep up. Thus, be prepared to FOREVER be learning. But most in the field find the journey of learning, growth and challenges to be a joy, extremely gratifying and rewarding.
@quakebox Not true at all to say you “need” a degree to be successful. Higher “education” via a university program indeed is a great experience and valuable, but NOT the only path. I’d even go further to say that it isn’t the ONLY thing you need: a B.S./M.S.C.S. is only the beginning. I have no degree at all and have been in software development for 10+ holding diverse roles (data warehousing, .NET framework development, N-tier, GIS, and SOA). I digress, indeed education + passion = success.
@ExhibitMan Well said. But one could not put enough emphasis on the notion of self-development (no pun intended). Frankly, even a PhD education in computer science wont “earn” you experience or real-world expertise; that is a journey. As the great William E. Deming would say, profound knowledge is the key. Those that “know” that profound knowledge doesn’t mean knowledge of one/few things but rather knowledge in diversity is indeed a step ahead. E.g. “C++ expert” don’t mean jack without balance.
Uh, this guy didn’t articulate anything useful! Software development is a vast and deep discipline. The typical rounded engineer will be profficient 6 or more languages, and expert or profficient as equally a long list of technologies. Literally every single day comes with challenge, demanding a challenge-oriented person. If you are lazy or hate being challenged, this field is NOT for you. Further, it is MUCH more than about writing code. That becomes the easy part.
i only have a few weeks left on my computer science degree, looking forward to graduating and finding a cool job in software development
yeah . i am just like you very fresh at work
I am computer science student and i was wandering that WHAT IS THE SCOPE OF CS IN WORLD??????
But now i conjucture that it is a very very good study.
@slimRick03
One more thing, The guy in this video isn’t talking about Information systems. He mentioned math and physics. This is not general programming, this is computer engineering where you build and program embedded systems, circuit boards etc. He isn’t refering to general software development.
Experienced Software developers averages aout $80-150k a year. It all depends where you live and what you’re good at. Although being a programmer can be judged to be an upper middle class earner.
@slimRick03
It all depends. For juniors it could be $30-40k, senoira can make through $60-200k.
@ExhibitMan how much does an expirenced software egineer make in a year. and how much will one make starting.
If you want to become a programmer, consider these college programs:
applied system science
computer science
software engineer/development.
computer engineering.
or, you can learn by yourself.
Also, you’ll need to do a lot of work by your own. School isn’t enough. Buy books, read news articles and stay in the course to enhance your learning!
You need a degree in Computer Sience, Information Technology, or a related feild to be a Software Developer or be a really nice programmer, compaies prefer to see their employees with degrees, last this job is really challenging, so if you like challenging problems this job could be nice for you.
….sir i m doing B.C.A ..after this what shuld i do…is BCA has scope..???
@thaztube hahaha not even close
hello sir..can i become a software developer if i completed my engineering in electronics???
hi I want to ask you a question sir since your extreamly smart in that area xD.
im a programmer C++HTML,C,Java
you need a degree in computer science.
so how do we become a software developer?
