Computer Career Job Description - Computer Programmer: A computer programmer writes the programs computers use to perform their functions. The programmer follows the specifications given to him or her by a computer software engineer
14
Educational Requirements - Computer Programmer: To work as a computer programmer one must usually have a bachelor's degree, generally in computer science, mathematics, or information systems. Some computer programmers take coursework in computer science while earning their degrees in accounting, finance and business. Some of those working as computer programmers earn an associate's degree or certificate.
15
Other Requirements - Computer Programmer: Programming skills and experience are highly valued in this field, particularly knowledge of object- oriented languages and tools such as C++ and Java. In addition, working computer programmers must constantly update their skills to keep up with changing technology.
