[Infographic] What Is Programming And What Do Programmers Do?

Programming is a creative process done by group of people called programmers to instruct a computer on how to do a task. A computer programmer, or coder, is someone who writes computer software. The term computer programmer can refer to a specialist in one area of computer programming or to a generalist who writes code for many kinds of software. The term programmer can be used to refer to a software developer, software engineer, computer scientist, or software analyst.

A computer programmer figures out the process of designing, writing, testing, debugging/troubleshooting and maintaining the source code of computer programs. This source code is written in a programming language so the computer can ‘understand’ it. The code may be a modification of an existing source or something completely new. The computer programmer also designs a graphical user interface (GUI) so that non-technical users can use the software through easy, point-and-click menu options. The GUI acts as a translator between the user and the software code.
