woman to receive it. Organizations and events have also been named after her, including the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women In Computing Conference. Without Grace Hopper’s work the world would look extremely different to everyone, programmers and non-programmers…

with only an associate’s degree, this is usually coupled with an internship. Since the internship can be hands-on programing, years of previous experience in programing may be required to qualify (Study.com). Many companies looking for a reliable programmer require a bare minimum of a bachelor’s degree in computer science. With a computer science degree the student can get a great range of knowledge of general computer hardware and software while also gaining valuable knowledge of numerous…

Hacking A Computer Systems A movie “Algorithm: The Hacker Movie,” illustrates a view of a hacker life and what he or she does because he or she doesn’t care about the privacy and laws. According to the movie, it shows that “The hackers live by one rule: information should be free and everything can be simplified and coded and understood as information” (Documentary Storm). By the statement, we can assume that, the hackers don’t live socially like other people do. They may not go for dates or…

Taves begins his article by outlining some of the benefits of a job in computer programming, including large bonuses reaching upwards of $200,000 and complimentary vacations. However, he immediately follows by claiming that while being a computer programmer is nice, it is especially nice for guys. Taves then introduces a study performed by Glassdoor, a popular job recruiting site. According to the study, which…

as Software. Computer programmers are the engineers that develop these software programs. They are the core of what makes technology possible. Creation begins with software engineers submitting design specification to the programmers. After analyzing the information, they determine how to translate this request, using computer languages like C++, to achieve the desired end product. In addition, through thorough testing, debugging, and at times, rewriting of code, programmers accomplish…

At that point, you can move into a management or an architect position. In a management position, you start being in charge of teams of programmers and delegating work. In an architect position, you start writing design documents, deciding what technologies make sense, developing software frameworks, etc. Within HIT, the path of a software developer is basically the same. It is best for someone that wants to develop software for the health care arena to have had previous experience with the…

adheres will indicate an increased understanding. Fowler (2008) states that there is a direct correlation between the readability of the code and the quality of the developer. He states: “Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand” (p. 15). Scalabrino (2016) also mimics a similar sentiment, saying “’readable code’ is a fundamental and highly desirable property of source code” (p. 1). These two authors, among others, show the…

In the book The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates the author, Wes Moore, and his counter part began in somewhat similar environments, but as the story developed the two men began to lead entirely different lives. However, it was decisions made by the people that effected their environment that made the outcome of these two men’s lives so different from one another. Both of these men began their lives in what would be considered by most people unstable homes. Yet, both of these men ended with…

Being a programmer requires a sense of self indulgence and creativity, for programmers are the deities of their programs and their programs are the product of their ideas. By taking pride in one's code, programmers can create something that others enjoy using, but this can be wiped like a hard drive in a matter of seconds when it comes to malicious users and attackers who seek to only benefit their personal selves. While the activist group, Anonymous, keyed the term “ddosing” by using software…

her about finding a good mentor for my class and she gave me the contact of Mr. Norris. I had the interview with Mr. Norris via Phone call and he was kind, respectful, and professional. Mr. Norris works for the Maritz CX company as a technology programmer. Since, he is not exactly what I am studying I felt we still have things in common as using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. His area is more about the coding than the design part. The first question that I asked was about his skills and what he…
