Fortunately in real life computer programmers aren’t nerds that sat at cubicles all day. Yes, a part of their jobs includes typing code into a computer and telling it what to do Computer programmers can code anything they want, from making a program display photos you took, to making a program keep track of you meals for the week. The first stage in their work involves dealing with clients and asking what they want their software to do. The next step is putting together a plan that tells the clients what he plans to make the software do, changes will be made according to the clients needs. The planning and designing stage is usually handled by a senior programmer. Next After doing the research I am still interested in this field of work because it they do the actual coding of the software. Lastly they test the software, and check for errors in the code. This process is called debugging. There are usually two types of programmers, application programmers and system programmers. Application programmers code software to perform tasks for the user. System programmers look at computers as a whole and make sure each parts work well on each other. I want to select this occupation because coding seems like a very fun thing to do in general.
