What Does a Computer Programmer Do?
Computer programmers create instructions for a computer to execute by writing
and testing code that enables applications and software programs to operate
successfully. Computer programmers use specialized languages to communicate
with computers, applications and other systems to get computers and computer
networks to perform a set of specific tasks. Languages like C++, Java, Python and
more allow programmers – often working closely with software developers and
engineers to build programs that allow “search, surfing and selfies,” according to
ComputerScience.org.

There are many programming languages but some have emerged as the
most popular. Industry blog The Crazy Programmer recently listed
the top 10 programming languages being used in 2018 based on a
survey of 100,000 programmers. They include:
JavaScript
SQL
Java
Python
C#
PHP

While working to complete a computer science degree, students are encouraged to create a portfolio of
their software work. “Though this portfolio isn’t graded, students can share it with potential employers
as proof of coding capabilities,” Frederick said. “The entire degree program gives students broad
exposure and proficiencies in traditional and trending technologies, including such specialties as
computation graphics, software testing and writing code for commonly used programs, as well as
deeper, more specific skills.”

ICT Sector Annual Review

Introduction

The Information and Communications Technology Council (ICTC) is pleased to

present the ICT Sector Annual Review 2019, a report that explores broad
trends over the past year in Canada’s digital economy with respect to
economic impact, the labour market, technology adoption, and talent supply.
The 2019 review will be presented through a three-part series:
Part 1: Economic Growth
Part 2: The Labour Market
Part 3: Talent Supply
ICT’s contribution to GDP continues to rise
From 2013 onward, the ICT sector has consistently outperformed the overall
economy. Real gross domestic product (GDP) produced by Canada’s ICT
sector between 2018 and 2019 increased by nearly $4.5 billion, reaching
$94.2 billion.
Contribution to GDP
In 2019, the ICT sector continued to make a substantial contribution towards
Canadian GDP, and over the last five years, the ICT sector’s growth has
outpaced the total growth of the Canadian economy. The ICT sector reached
 $94.2 billion in 2019, accounting for 4.8% of Canada’s total output of over
$1,970 billion as of 2019.

No Matter How it is

Introduction

Although computers are typically viewed as a modern invention involving electronics, computing
predates the use of electrical devices. The ancient abacus was perhaps the first digital computing
device. Analog computing dates back several millennia as primitive computing devices were
used as early as the ancient Greeks and Romans, the most known complex of which being the
Antikythera mechanism. Later devices such as the castle clock (1206), slide rule (c. 1624) and
Babbage's Difference Engine (1822) are other examples of early mechanical analog computers.
The introduction of electric power in the 19th century led to the rise of electrical and hybrid
electro-mechanical devices to carry out both digital (Hollerith punch-card machine) and analog
(Bush’s differential analyzer) calculation. Telephone switching came to be based on this
technology, which led to the development of machines that we would recognize as early
computers.

The presentation of the Edison Effect in 1885 provided the theoretical background
for electronic devices. Originally in the form of vacuum tubes, electronic
components were rapidly integrated into electric devices, revolutionizing radio and
later television. It was in computers however, where the full impact of electronics
was felt. Analog computers used to calculate ballistics were crucial to the outcome
of World War II, and the Colossus and the ENIAC, the two earliest electronic digital
computers, were developed during the war. See table xx and table xx

With the invention of solid-state electronics, the transistor and ultimately the
integrated circuit, computers would become much smaller and eventually affordable
for the average consumer. Today “computers” are present in nearly every aspect of
everyday life, from watches to automobiles.

In this interview, Aspray talks about his education and career, with particular
focus on his years as director of the History Center. His early interest in
mathematics is discussed, as is his decision to switch to History of Science
while at Madison. His time at the Babbage is covered, as well as his reasons
for going to the IEEE. See figure xx.
