How to Become Expert in IT

PEOPLE IN COMPUTING

The primary requirements for being good programmer are nothing more than a good memoty, an attention to detail, a logical mind and the ability to work through a problem in a methodical manner breaking tasks down into smaller, more manageable pieces.

However ,it is not enough just to turn up for a job interview with a logical mind as your sole qualification.an employer will want to see some sort of formal qualification and a proven track record. But if you can show someone in impressive piece of software with your name on it,it will count for a lot more than a string of academic qualifications.

So what specific skills are employers looking for? The window market is booming and there’s a demand for good C,C++,delphi,Java,and Visual Basic Developers. Avoid older language such as FORTRAN and COBOL unless you want to work as a contract programmer.

For someone starting out, my best advice would be subscribe to the programming magazines such as Microsoft System Journal. Get one or two af low-cost students’ edition of C++,Visual Basic and Delphi. Get decent book on windows programming. If you decide programming is really for you,spend more money on a training course.

IT managers manage projects, technology and people. Any largee organization will have at least one IT Manager responsible for ensuring that everyone who actually needs a PC has one on that it work properly. This means taking responsibility for the maintenance of servers and the istallation of new software, and for staffing a help –desk and support group.

Medium to large companies are also likely to have an IT systems manager. They are responsible for developing and implementing computer software that support the operations of the bussiness. They’re responsible are multiple development projeccts and over see the implementation and support of the systems. Companies will have two or three major system taht probably bought of the self and thenn alored by an in-house development team.

A part frfom basic hardware and software expertise, an IT manager are typically have over five years experience in the industry. Most are between 30 and 45. Since IT managers have to take responsibility for budgets and for staff, employers look for both of these factors in any potential recruit.

Nearly of IT managers have at least a first degree if not a second one as well. Interestingly, many of them don’t have degrees in computing science. In any case, the best qualification for becoming a manager is experience. If you personality is such that you’re unlikely to be asked to take responsibility for a small team or project, they can forget being an IT manager. You need to be bright, communicative and beable to earn the trust of your teams. Most of this can’t be taught, so if you don’t have these skills then divert your career elsewhere.
