Computer Programming Schools

Computer programmers create, modify and test computer software programs. They may write programs from scratch by coding sets of instructions into machine-readable form, or combine and modify existing programs. Depending on the type of computer application, they may use computer or database languages such as VB.Net, C++, Java, Perl, Oracle or dBase. They need a detailed understanding of what software users want the program to do. They may discuss and map out the requirements with users and then review specifications drawn up by others, or work with a team of experts that includes other programmers and users. In the early stages of a career, they will probably work on components of software applications that are later integrated into the final package. Much of the work will involve testing programs, diagnosing problems, and finding and correcting errors. They may also be responsible for documenting programs, writing user manuals or developing help screens. Featured Schools
