The development of software industry is also changing people's daily life, and even becoming an important driving force for the development of IT industry.

Looking around the world, Microsoft, Adobe, Oracle Bone Inscriptions and other companies all started with software and gradually developed to the present huge scale.

Therefore, in a sense, computer training/discovery in Shaanxi depends on software all its life.

With the rapid development of software industry, the number of software development professionals is increasing year by year.

But at present, the shortage in the industry is not pure IT practitioners, but compound software engineers with operation and development capabilities.

This requirement can only be met by IT practitioners who have been wallowing in the IT industry for many years and software engineers trained by formal IT training institutions.

Professional skills requirements: A qualified programmer must first have a solid foundation, be proficient in C, C++ and other programming languages, and be familiar with data structures, compilation principles and algorithms. Secondly, because the code of a program often has tens of thousands of lines, it is very important for programmers to develop good code writing habits; Third, programmers need system design ability.

With the development of technology, the thinking, mode and method of programming will also undergo earth-shaking changes, and the thinking now may be very different from that three or five years ago. What is needed now is novel and ingenious design ideas, so programmers must improve their system design ability, otherwise they will never get ahead; Finally, because the current software development basically adopts project operation, one person or a team is often responsible for completing one of the modules, so teamwork is particularly important.

For example, during the development of Microsoft's Windows2000 operating system, 5000 programmers were used to develop it, and the code exceeded 30 million lines. If these people can't form an organic whole, the consequences are unimaginable.

Generally speaking, what software enterprises urgently need at present is "plug and play" employees.

There are three standards for such talents: broad knowledge and mastery of one or two commonly used software programming tools; Have about one year's practical project development experience, and be able to use the basic concepts of software engineering; Have high professional quality, including communication skills and teamwork spirit.

Career planning: At present, major universities mainly focus on computer science. I have studied several computer programming languages more or less in college, and usually doing curriculum design will also involve some projects at work.

In terms of treatment, the annual salary of software development engineers is about 50,000 to 70,000, and the advanced ones will be more.

From the level of domestic software developers, the primary level programmers account for the largest proportion, at least above 50%, and the senior personnel are at most around 10%.

But no matter where you are, you should make some plans according to your own personality and advantages.

Programmers who have worked for more than two years can have several basic career plans: technical experts, software architects, implementation consultants or sales.

Among them, the most important development direction of programmers is senior technical experts. Whether it's Java, NET or database field, they must first become experts, and then they may continue to develop into architects.

From the perspective of career planning, a programmer must first read a good book, then make good friends, find a good teacher, find a suitable working environment under these three peripheral conditions, and then meet the right people and projects in some important links, so as to succeed.

For most people, the first thing is to specialize in technology, and then adjust their work and turn themselves into experts in a certain field. The third step is to decide whether to be a software architect or a senior consultant according to your own situation.
