If you have a passion for programming, this article will interest you because there is some interesting information about that field.
If you want to be a system programmer, you must be familiar with hardware specifications, design, memory management, and structure, and if you want to be an application programmer, you must be familiar with standard user interface protocols, data structure, program architecture, and response speed. It is a challenging and difficult job but if you program since you were a kid, and it is your passion, it shouldn't be really hard. Otherwise, you can work in your house if you want and that is very cool.
They create scripts. Scripts are instructions that you give to a computer to complete a task.
At the start of a project, they plan meetings with designers, artists, and financiers to understand the expected scope and capabilities of the intended final product. After, they create a plan/strategy for the program, and they find ways to avoid problems like troubleshooting patches with the program. Finally, the programmer writes the code.
There are some people that prefer working in an office with the group to be more focused, and there are some people that prefer working in their houses.
You should master basic and advanced programming, some technical computer science courses, and some logic or systems architecture classes. Academics requirements are gaining importance nowadays.
It depends. The average right now (March 28, 2021) is 57,396 per year, but if you work with the biggest companies, the average can be around $91,527 per year.
They have to train themselves with programming languages like C++, PERL, FORTRAN, COBOL, or C.
There are no real dangers. You just have to make sure that you don't stay in your chair all day long because it can be bad for your health.
If we create intelligent robots that can create perfect scripts, it can be possible. But, I don't think that a robot could replace a programmer because it is an intellectually demanding task, and it is specific, so we need communication.
Like in every job you can retire in your 60s but it really depends on the person. There's people that retire at 60 and others that can retire at 70 and more, but there is not a real average knowing that Computer programming is evolving each year.
In conclusion, being a programmer/operator is an interesting job for those that are curious, creative, and passionate. What makes this job interesting it's the fact that it evolves each year.
