COMPUTER PROGRAMMER CAREER IN-DEPTH
Programmers fall into two camps: applications programmers and systems programmers. Applications programmers create and upgrade software applications and customize programs to fit a certain context, whether it be patient management software at a dentist’s office or translation software for a mobile phone. Systems programmers create operating systems. They take a holistic approach to how different applications work with the computer. Applications programmers sometimes bring in systems programmers to make sure their programs will be compatible on an operating system.
