Embedded Files
So on your programming journey, what all do you need to know?
Wait, it's not just all learning to code?! Definitely not!
Being a programmer is not just all programming away on whatever project you're in to. There are lots of skills that you need to have that are computer and file management related that aren't just typing logic into the editor.
I won't go over them in too much detail until later lessons, but one example is Git. Git is a file management tool to help you work on a single project with lots of different people without just clobbering over each others changes. Imagine trying to write an essay for school with a ton of other people making edits at the same time! It can sure get hectic unless you have an easy way to maneuver around that.
That doesn't necessarily mean that any of these skills you need are difficult, but it's just more things to learn before you run out and start sending Google your resume desperately hoping to hear back đŸ˜‚
Don't read too much into this now but I'm dropping a list of skills to learn for people who are curious about the future.
To be a basic hobbyist programmer you'll need to know things like:
Basic interface creation like buttons and textboxes
How to manage your own files
Basic coding logic including variables, loops, arrays, objects
For a solid hobbyist programmer you can add on to that:
More advanced interfaces
Better grasp of coding with algorithms and dependencies
Basic Networking apis
Basics of Multithreading
Basics of User Interface design
Add these for a basic pro programmer (ProProgrammer):
Version controlled file management
Good grasp of specific platform knowledge like Websites or Android or iOS, etc
Good grasp of data storage
Ticket management and "Agile" workflow knowledge
Good grasp of User Interface design
Then add these for Big Brain ProProgrammer:
Very in-depth coding knowledge
Advanced knowledge of algorithms
Great grasp of ticket management
Great grasp of platform specific knowledge
Great grasp of data storage
Team management and leadership
Advanced networking apis
Advanced knowledge of multithreading
And then the ultimate tier Omega Brain ProProgrammer:
Master of coding principles
Master of algorithms
Master of networking
Master of data storage
Master of ticket management
Master of platform specific knowledge
Master of team management
Master of user interface design
In our next step we will talk about the differences between coders and programmers and software engineers!
