Programmer job - FAQ

Who is a programmer? (definition)

Wikipedia states that “a programmer is one who implements the results of a project design by a process called programming.” It further states that “Work on a new programme usually begins at the desk of a programmer-analyst, who determines the design of the future programme and passes it on to the programmers. They convert it into a sequence of commands that the computer understands.”

In human terms, a programmer is an IT specialist focused on the creation, development and maintenance of computer programs and software solutions. In practice, this means that a programmer:

Generates source code using programming languages (such as Python, Java, C++, etc.)
Analyzes requirements and proposes technical solutions,
tests and debugs the created applications
Collaborates with other members of the development team,
documenting the solutions created

Programmers can specialize in different areas, for example:

Frontend development – creation of user interface (websites, applications)
Backend development – database and server logic management
Fullstack development – a combination of frontend and backend
Development of mobile apps, games or specialised systems
