POSITION : Project Manager
Job Summary
Job titles within the IT sector tend to be loosely defined so the term ‘programmer’ is often used to refer to software developers, software engineers, computer scientists or software analysts.
Computer programmers write the step-by-step instructions that direct computers to process information in a series of logical steps. This involves establishing a detailed specification and clarifying exactly what the programme needs to do, then breaking the specification down to its simplest elements and translating this into an appropriate programming language.
Different tasks require different programming languages, but those most in demand are:
Visual Basic (.Net)
Java
PHP.
While most programmers specialise in a few different languages, the kind of work they do depends on the employer.
There are two distinct areas within programming:
Applications Programming
Systems Programming.
While applications programmers write programmes to process and manage incoming information, systems programmers deal with the internal operations of the computer such as designing diagnostic programmes to identify faults, or controlling the way a computer runs several applications simultaneously.
