Building Software From Scratch

Answer 1

When people use a program on a computer, they rarely stop to think about how it works or how someone else had to write out thousands of lines of code to make it do exactly what it is supposed to do. They just use it and are pleased when it works in the correct fashion. They may even use it to make something else, such as a video game or a computerized drum track for a local band. Even while they are creating, they probably do not stop and think about how someone else had to create the software that gives them the ability to create music or Video Games.

Some people, however, are different. They are always thinking on a deeper level. They are thinking about how things are under the surface. They are not just thinking about what a program does, for example, but they are instead thinking about how it does it. They may even be thinking about why it does it or how they could make it do something better, at a higher level. If this sounds like you, then you might want to consider a career in computer science software engineering.

There are two main divisions to computer science. The first is composed of people who work with hardware, building computers and building networks. This is more hands-on work. The other division is composed of people who work with computer science software engineering. They are the ones who take those computers and those networks and build the software programs that make them run. These people have to be very good at math and they need to be able to work on tedious lines of code for hours on end.

If you think that you can do that, you have half of what it takes. The other half is creativity. A program does not just need to function; it needs to function is a way that makes it easy to use and attractive to the user. If you are building programs that are similar to some that are already on the market, you also need to build them so that they are better than the competition. You have to use this creativity to make sure that yours are the best.
