This often leads someone in my position to ask themselves the following questions: Did I miss the boat? Is ‘computer programming’ a lesser art that I thought it was? Is a Computer Science degree what the real software engineers have under their belt?įiguring I have start to somewhere in my search, I check the Wikipedia definition of each term:Ĭomputer programming is the process of designing and building an executable computer program for accomplishing a specific computing task…The purpose of programming is to find a sequence of instructions that will automate the performance of a task on a computer, often for solving a given problem. Very often when looking at software-related job postings, I see that a 4-year Computer Science degree is either required or is seen as a major plus. It seems I would be remiss to not learn a bit more about what each one actually means and answer a few of the following questions: Are they the same thing? Are they related? Does one include the other? Why Does it Matter Anyway?Īs someone who just started to learn how to program (and who has a 4-year Bachelor’s degree but not in Computer Science), I can say that I get the feeling that it has significant importance in regards to my career prospects. As someone who just took up the study of Programming myself, I’ve heard the terms “Computer Science” and “Computer Programming” used a lot recently, almost interchangeably. It feels like both of the terms in the title have been thrown around quite a bit in the last few years.
