Computer Programming

Computer programmers design, write, and test logical structures in order to solve computer problems as well as enhance the usage of computers. They utilize Java programming, C++, HTML, SQL, and Visual Basic languages. Programmers write computer programs according to specifications provided by computer systems analysts and software engineers. continued below »

The University of Phoenix Online offers various courses within technology degree programs for those interested in working in Computer Programming:

Programming Concepts
There are four programming concepts courses that the University of Phoenix offers -- Introduction to Object Oriented Programming (POS 400), Programming Concepts (POS 360), Programming Concepts (CSS 561), and Programming Management (CMGT 576). Students are introduced to programming in the context of business applications development. Courses are designed to provide students with an understanding of programming environments. Depending on the actual course taken, topics range from program structure and logic structures to calculations, syntax and documentation.


SQL

The POS 410 SQL for Business program offered at the University of Phoenix provides instruction in the SQL unified language that allows one to control, query, and/or manipulate data in a business applications environment. Students learn how to create tables using SQL, apply both single and multiply-table queries, apply reporting in SQL and more.


JAVA
The University of Phoenix offers two courses in Java -- PRG 420 Java Programming I and PRG 421 Java Programming II. While the basics of Java programming is covered in PRG 420 Java Programming I, students who go on to take PRG 421 Java Programming II learn how to design complex applications, utilize data files, understand applets, how to apply Java programming and more.


Visual Basic

JER Group, Inc.


JER's Online Learning Center
offers computer programming courses in Java, SQL, Visual Basic and more. These programs are designed to provide students with the skills and knowledge they need to write basic code independently. In these programs, students learn how to build and combine applications, write code, create web pages, and more. Course completion varies from 20 to 80 hours of study.

These computer programs tell the computer what information it should identify, how to access it, how to process it, what to do, and what equipment to use. Additionally, some programmers utilize computer-assisted software engineering (CASE) tools when automating coding processes.

Generally, there are two categories for those who work in this field—applications programmers and systems programmers. Applications programmers will create programs for a specific job, such as to write a program to track inventory. On the other hand, systems programmers create programs to maintain and control computer systems, database systems, networked systems, etc. The skills required to work in this field does vary from one job to the next. Employers who utilize computer systems for engineering or scientific applications tend to prefer individuals who have degrees in information or computer science, engineering, or mathematics. Overall, employers are quite interested in individuals who possess programming knowledge such as C++ or Java, and other fourth-generation or fifth-generation languages.

As computer programming becomes more complex, the demand in this field will increase for those individuals who are constantly updating their skills. Starting salaries for those with a Bachelor's degree range between $51,000 to $85,000 per year. The overall median salaries for those working in this field averages around $70,000.
