Our
world is changing rapidly. Technology is the propelling power that brings about
this wonderful changes in our lives. The flight from ine point to another in
record time; the readily available tools and gadget all these and more spell
changes.
“To
say that a good programmer can write good software in any language is like
saying that a good pilot can fly any aircraft: true, but irrelevant”, said A.H
Khan.
Information technology is the use of
computers and software to manage information. In
some of the large companies, information technology department is the
one responsible or liable for storing informations, protecting informations,
processing the informations, transmitting the information as necessary, and
later retrieving informations as necessary. That’s why, information technology
is very important or relevant not just in the fields of industry but for a lot.One area of information technology is software
development. Computer software by definition is
a generic term for organized collections of computer data and instructions,
often broken into two major categories: system software that provides the basic
non-task-specific functions of the computer, and application software which is
used by users to accomplish specific tasks and it really helps many businesses
be productive. Computer programmers design and write code to customize existing
software applications and custom products, among other things or sequences of instructions to be executed by a
computer.Computer programming is what makes a computer more than just a simple
pocket calculator. It is everything that
you can do today on a computer someone had to be programmed at one point.
The main task of
programmers is to write codes to make a some sort of softwares. They write the
instructions that command or instructs the computer what to do. Once a computer is given it’s “program” that is, once it is
asked a carefully worked out set of devised or prepared by a programmer trained
in computer languages, a computer that was being programmed can be used for
many purposes or contemplate plans.
Programs
apprise the computers what to do simple or even complex tasks, just like in
business and industry, a program can prepare company payroll calculations,
factory inventories, mail dividend checks, business processing, banking
applications, and to keep track of sales trends and production needs. Also it
can perform word-processing, operating systems, computer games, and many more
assignments.
Since information technology is considered as one
of the most in demand courses nowadays, having knowledge or comprehension in
computer programming helps a lot to students like us who are dreaming or aiming
to have good or worthy jobs in the future. With computer programming subject, we are
about to learn to write or construct codes and make softwares for systems
needed in a particular thing. In our modern society, relying on information
technologies, computer programming educations are extremely important. Information technology workers, experts or professionals can be
found in many types of organizations. According to the U.S. Department of
Labor, "In the modern workplace, it is imperative that Information
Technology works both effectively and
reliably."
To be Information technology professionals is our dream. And
to be totally professionals, who
are working in this profession we must be proficient and able to work in teams
and work under the pressure to meet deadlines and budgeting constraints or
obligations. Companies or corporations will depend on computer programmers that
is going to be us in the near future to develop software solutions to critical
business problems or enigma. Since computer programmers are basically
information technology professionals who create such programs that run on
various platforms including operating systems, the internet, handheld gadgets,
computer-aided devices, or a combination or mixture of computer equipments or
apparatus. Information technology is a very important job function that
services just about every avenue of modern or advance business and industry. I believe that the computer programming languages are one
of the most important, not one of the least important factors, that influence
the ultimate or supreme quality of a software system, and also very critical
for later development of an information technology professionals.
But computer programs are not just a tool for information
technology students like us; it furnishes the raw material of softwares, the things
that we look at on our screens everytime and most of the day.
I read an article of hira82.blogspot.com and this is what I have
read “ First thing what is
computer programming? It is nothing but a sequence of instructions to enable
the computer to do something. It does because in information technology company
(after your graduation) then the thing which matters is: “How can you save the
efforts of other people (customers) so that they will reward you”. You can do
this only if you automate the process which individual have to perform
manually. This can be done by programming only. So what you are thinking. It is
unclear to you. OK continue…
Knowledge
of computer programming habituates your mind to thinking in a sensible, common
sense manner and that approach will benefit anyone in the information
technology field. The ability to think rationally and use logic when making
decisions in.
Second thing the most
important or significant matter Programming Contest (pC0. In my teaching
profession many student asked me, is it possible to go a best place in
Programming Contest by me. I said those, your ranking is not a matter. You may
be a good position in Programming Contest or may not whatever, it is not a
matter, the actual fact is by Programming Contest you can increase your problem
solving skill (which is the most important asset in your professional life in
any plaxe in Information Technology field, I am again saying it’s really very
important, believe me).
After all if you work hard
and practice well then it’s not too hard to go to a good place. You can earn
million dollars by programming contest. Also currently most of the IT top
companies like Microsoft, Google, IBM, yahoo recruit thei IT professionals
based on the Programming Contest ranking. If you have that good ranking then
clearly your door is open for those companies. The will recruit you with high
salary.”
With this article, I really
therefore conclude that computer programming is really very important
especially in my choosen course, the Bachelor of Science in Information
Technology. Because with this, I may achieve what I dreamed of.
