How do you become a Pura papubiatonscom ‘Times have changed since programming in the“80s, but the core values stil remain. “It's up to you how far to take your coding adventure!” Being able to follow a logical pattern and see an end resultis one of the most valued shi oF programmer. (. Being a Programmer em” 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 its today. &-bit computers that you could purchase asa whole, as opposed to being in kt Form and you having to solder the parts together, were the stuff ‘of dreams; and getting your hands on one was sheer bliss contained within alarge plastic box. However, t wasnit so much the new technology that Computers then offered, moreover It was the fact that fr the Fist time ever, you could contro what was being viewed on the ‘television. Instead of simply playing one ofthe thousands of games available at the time, many users decided they wanted to create ther own content, their ‘own games; or simply something that could help them with their homework lorhome finances. The simplicity ofthe S-bit home computer meant that creating something from a few lines of BASIC code was achievable and so the frst generation of home-bred programmer was born, From that point on, programming expanded exponentially. It wasnt ong before the bedroom coder wasa thing ofthe past and huge teams of designers, coders, artists and musicians were involved in making a single ‘game. This o course led to the programmer becoming more than simply someone who could Fashion a sprite on the screen and makeit move tthe ress of key "Naturally, me has moved on and with tthe technology that we use. However, the Fundamentals of programming remain the same; but what exactly does it take tobe a programmer “The single most common tat of any programmer, regardless of what they'e doing is the abiity to see a logical pattem. By this we mean someone who can logically Fellow something From stat to Finish and envisage the intended cutcome. While you may not Feel you're sucha person, itis possibie to train your brain into this way of thinking Yes, t takestime but once you stat to thinkin this particular way you will be able toconstruct and Follow code. Second t logicis an understanding of mathematic. You don't have to be ata genius evel ut you do need to understand the rudiments of maths "Mathsis all about being able to solve a problem and code mostly falls under the umbrella of mathematics. Being ableto see the big pictures certainly beneficial forthe modern programmer. Undoubtedly, asa programmer, you wil be part ofa team ‘of other programmers, and more than likely part ofan even bigger team (of designers, all of whom ae creating a Final product. While you may only be expected to create asmall element ofthat Final product, being able to Understand what everyone else is doing wil help you create something that’s ultimately better than simply being locked in your own coding cubicle. Finally there's also level of creativity needed to be 2 good programmer ‘Again though, you dont nee to bea creative genius, ust have the Imagination tobe able to see the end product and how the user will interact withit. “There's ofcourse alot more involved in being a programmer, including learning the actual code itself. However, with time, patience and the
