( Being a Programmer Ez MORE THAN CODE For those of you old enough to remember the 80s, the golden era of home computing the world of computing was avery different scene to how tis today. sit computers that you could purchase as awhole, as opposed to beeing in kitForm and youhaving to soléer the parts together, were the stuff of dreams; and getting your hands on one was sheer bss contained within large pasticbox. However, it wasn't so much the nev technology that computers then offered, moreover it was the Fact that forthe First time lever you could control what was being viewed on the television. Instead of simply playing one ofthe thousands of games availble atthe time, many users deided they wanted to create their own content, their ‘oun games; o simply something that could help them wit their homework. corhome finances. The simplicity ofthe &-bichome computer meant that {zeating something from afew lines oF BASIC code was achievable and so the frst generation of home-bred programmer was born. From that point on, programming expanded exponentially wasrtLong before the bedroom coder was ating ofthe past and huge teams oF Sesigners, coders, artists and musicians were invoivedin making a single game. This of course led to the programmer becoming more than simply ‘someone who could Fashion a sprite onthe screen and makeit move atthe press of key Naturally time has moved on ae with tthe technology that we use, However, the fundamentals of programming remain the same; but what exactly does it take to be programmer? ‘The single most common taitof ary programmer, regardless of what they're doing, ithe ablltyto see a logical pattern. By thiswe mean ‘someone who can logically folow something from start to finish and envisage the intended outcome, While you may not Feel you're sucha person, itis possible to train your bain into this way of thinking, Yes, ie takes time but once you start to thinkin this particular way you willbe able toconstruct and Follow code. ‘Second to logic is an understanding of mathematics. You dont haveto be ‘ata gerius level but you de need to understand the rudiments of maths. Mathsis allabout being able t solve a problem and code mostly fallsunder the umbrella of mathematics, Being able to see the big pictures certainly beneficial For the made programmer. Undoubtedly, asa programmer, you wil be part of ateam of other programmers, and more than Ukely part ofan even bigger team Of designers al of whom are creating afinal produc. While you may only be expected to create 3 small element of that final produc, being able to understand what everyone else is doing willhelo you create something that's ultimately better than simply being lacked in your vm coding cubicle. Finally there's als a level oF creativity needed to bea good programmer. ‘Again though, you dont need to bea creative genius, just have the Imagination to be able tosee the end product and how the user will interact witht There i ofcourse a ot more involved in being a programme’ including learning the actual code itself However, with time, patience and the determination to lear, anyone can become a programmer.
