REMEMBER Q AND A
EXPERIENCE NEEDED
None is actually needed. Though the more experience you have the more likely you
are to get hired and get a better salary.
In the computer programming world, Degrees and job titles arent as important as
experience itself. Even so, You should still get a degree to ensure you get a jo
b in that field. It would be best if you could take night classes while you have
a job or get a part time job.

How To Get Computer Programming Job Experience

Now, you know that raw, hands on computer programming experience is valued above
programming degrees, job titles or programming certifications, here are tips on
how to increase your programming experience.

Open Source Projects

there are various open source projects that you can join and contribute code to.
Before you join an open source project, take some time to learn the code, use t
he application, get to know the team members and become familiar with the code r
eview or code commit processes.


Non Profits

you may get programming experience by helping a non-profit organization that nee
ds with building a database, a website or a software application.

Be sure to let the non-profit organization know that you are doing the job to ge
t more programming experience.

You need to be truthful and upfront about your level of expertise or you may run
into problems by taking on more than you can handle.

When you committee to working for a non-profit organization, you may be required
to work at the pace of other senior, more experienced team members.

Also, the non-profit may be racing towards meeting some important deadlines.

So, even if you are offering free help, the non-profit organization needs to und
erstand that you may introduce additional delays to the timetable
If this is not acceptable then you and the non-profit organization are not a goo
d match.

Personal Use Software Applications

You may get computer programming experience by building a software application t
hat provides some services or benefit to you.

For example, an employee I managed built a price watching software applications
in his spare time.

The application was a web crawler that would go to specific websites and monitor
the bids and prices of products he was interested in.

You can get some really cool programming experience that way because you are you
r own customer, you are not going to stress yourself over deadlines and you unde
rstand the needs you are trying to meet.

The downside is that software development managers do not rank this type of prog
ramming experience as high as that gained by working for non-profit organization
s or open source projects


Professional Computer Programming Experience

You may get computer programming experience from a professional software develop
ment organization.

This involves having a software development company assign programming projects
to you, review your code and mentor, coach or train you on your weak spots.

This method is preferred because hiring managers value programming experience de
rived from professional mentors above those from self study or non profits or ot
her sources of programming experience.

The reason is that a professional software developer can critique your code or d
atabase design while you or a non-profit may not review or critique your own cod
e.
How to get professional software development experience

The Software Developer Boot Camp provides you with professional software develop
ment experience.

You are given hands on, practical, real world projects to work on.
Your computer programming code or database design assignments are reviewed by co
urse instructors and you are given feedback that helps you correct your weak spo
ts.

You are assigned additional projects as you progress along the course and as you
complete your training, you build up your portfolio and programming experience.

PERKS:
Telecommuting
No crazy schedules
safe, secure job

~~6th slide WHY I WANT TO BE A COMPUTER PROGRAMMER.
I'm not quite sure what I want to be yet but this does seem like a very suitabl
e career also a career I'd enjoy. I also wouldn't have to work in groups too muc
h. I also like that I know a little bit about programming. I have previously mad
e a really, really, reaaaally simple program people couldn't make without some p
rior knowlege. Knowing things that are difficult to be solved with thought and n
eed to be taught interest me.
