Programmer

In simple terms, we can define programming as the act of writing – in programming language – a script that a computer can understand. This will tell the computer to behave a certain way, to do a certain thing, and ultimately perform the actions you want, if your code is correct.
The computer does not understand the code it wrote. All it understands is ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ (or 1 and 0 if you’re familiar with binary code). While the code you write isn’t actually understood, the results of it are, telling your computer what to do.

What types of programmers are there?

There is a wide range of different types of programmers. Each of them specializes in a different thing, and each of them is required to learn different languages and techniques that allow them to specialize.
There are three types of programmers that are most common, but there are many more. Some of the other types include systems engineers, game developers, and AI programmers – and many others.

Front-End Developer

These are people who create websites and are responsible for the design, layout and the way content is displayed on a web page. This is done in a variety of ways, but the most popular front-end languages are HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Some of the main responsibilities include:
• Taking a design (wireframe) and turning it into a website, writing hundreds of lines of code.
• Make sure that the website in question is functional and interactive, in accordance with the requirements. This includes things like inserting animations, creating hyperlinked buttons, and more.
• Minimize the waiting time for a page to load and maximize its responsiveness. Things like these play a huge role in a website’s search engine optimization (SEO) score, and it’s important to get them right.

Back-End Developer

These are the people who create the web applications on which the website runs. These are complex applications that are designed to do a certain thing, and that are built into the underlying code of a website. Back-end development requires a good understanding of languages such as Ruby (and the Ruby on Rails framework), Python, full stack JavaScript (front-end and back-end) and PHP.
Some of the points developed by Back-end developers that allow the website to do:
• Login and logout after having created an account on the website.
• Connect with friends and create a user profile. Social sites like Facebook and Instagram are great examples.
• Create interactive applications that can be incorporated into a website. Google Maps is a great example.

Mobile Application Developer

App developers create mobile applications for iOS and Android operating systems. Recent statistics suggest that the number of smartphone users worldwide is approaching 2.5 billion, which really is a huge number. Android development is mainly done with Java, one of the most versatile languages in the world. Objective-C or Swift. are both languages used together with the Xcode development tool.

Programming or coder?

Coder – is someone who takes what we want to say in a language, like English, and translates it into a language, like Python. In this sense, coding action is simply writing a script that will perform an action. In official terms, a coder is the person who “’launches’ chunks of code” that are fed into a larger computer program and used to create a website, application, or anything else that requires those chunks of code.
Programmer – While it could be argued that a programmer also makes pieces of code that fit together to create a program, it could also be argued that a programmer is the person who leads the team of coders. These oversee the development of an application or program and are responsible for adjusting the pieces of code from which it is composed.

Programming languages

There are hundreds of different languages, most of which are designed for specific use cases. Most of these languages are only learned by a few specialized people.
Some of the most popular languages are:

HTML

HTML – or Hypertext Markup Language – is probably the most widespread programming language, and is probably what comes to the average person’s mind when they are asked “What is coding? ”. HTML is used in front-end development and is found on virtually every website on the Internet, making it an essential language for any front-end developer.

CSS

CSS is the second of the front-end development languages, after HTML. Using CSS along with HTML allows the web page to be customized with things like fonts, colors, styles, and more. While HTML tells your web browser how a certain part of your web page should appear, CSS code is what actually controls it.

Python

Python is the best-known programming language, an extremely versatile language with relatively simple syntax, and it is also at the forefront of a number of new technologies – including artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Java

Along with Python, Java is at the top and is mainly used for back-end development and creating mobile applications, but it is by no means limited to these two areas. The vast majority of native Android apps were created in Java.
One of the main benefits of Java is its scalability, which is why it has become one of the favorite languages among the largest and most successful websites in the world.

JavaScript

JavaScript has been one of the fastest growing languages in recent years. The growing demand for JavaScript developers has led to a huge shortage, making it a language of choice for many new programmers.
The JavaScript language has been used for front-end website development as a way to create interactive displays. Controls things like video players, animations, and GIFs. However, in recent times, this language has been used more and more for back-end development, which means that you can develop a large part of your website using a single language.
