Information Technology field is on decline??
Sometime ago a elderly tutor(Not connected to IT field) said to us(me and my friends) that some time from now there will be a lapse in jobs generated from IT(Information Technology) field.Well I don’t want to disclose the name here. But my first reaction was of owe!! Well I kind of took it a bit seriously for few days thinking that oh I have wasted a whole lot of bucks aka Money on learning all those programming stuff. Well just fews days ago I thought over it again and found out that it is crap that IT(Information Technology) field  will show a lapse in generation of new jobs.

And I did some of the research on what could be possibilities of IT field in coming decade or so.




My first target field was Electronics , Bio-Chemistry, Physics Plus Nanotechnology. All these fields are on rise and more sophisticated electronics means use of more efficient coding or programming for these languages.
I am currently learning electronics Embedded programming as college (university syllabus).
Same is the case with Bio-chemistry(Informatics) which include automate biological data analysis and develop algorithms or workflows, and how to manage vast amounts of data using database technologies. Thus given the rise of new technological advancement gives rise to need of good programmers and developer who will know basics of these different fields and help the specialist in IT Development.

We can say similar thing about Nanotechnology aka Nano-programming(Programming of nano-materials).
My research says that many countries like India ,China, many Asian countries and African countries still lack behind need good amount of IT penetration. IT penetration is on speed rise in both India and china.

And so is the need for programmers and developers going to rise. And rise above all fields. You think it yourself, take example of any field and see that it has specialised IT support staff(Database, Web based, SEO, Mobile etc.)  
And as this fields grow so will the need of developers rise.Many people just try to enter the bandwagon just when there is high demand but very few survive.Well it depends on how you have prepared yourself.


So what it means being a programmer or what efforts should one make to be a good programmer.
starting out as a programmer-Application or Mobile or Web developer.

1)Learn the basics properly: Get your OOP (Object oriented Programming )concepts right.
It is best to learn from someone who is a programmer . You can refer to books and websites.
reference Java :http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/concepts/

reference C# :http://www.cs.aau.dk/~normark/oop-09/html/notes/theme-index.html

reference c++:http://www.exforsys.com/tutorials/c-plus-plus/basic-concepts-of-oops-and-structure-of-c-program.html.


2) Practice: Practicing what you learn is most important and one cannot achieve goal of being a good programmer without practicing. Always remember that “practice makes man perfect. “


3) Learn to share : Sharing is the most important aspect of programmers. If you find some new thing share it with friends and fellow programmers may be you will learn something from them. check out the online forums and be interactive, the techies out on internet forums do help you out. Don’t be shy to ask even the most basic help. Because even the best Programmer was a newbie like you once.


4)Do not give up: This is one of must important quality of a developer. When you make programs you might make mistakes that does not mean you have to give up that part of code.Always remember even GOD can mistakes. Try to improve. As one of my friend Quaid says : Programmers do not live on warnings they live on errors” ,ask help if you don’t find solution.


5)Must learn: XML, HTML, JavaScript or any other scripting language, Ajax, SQL. This are the few basic things.
And according to field you chose learn things of that field.

6)Track: After learning Basics and terminologies , choose just one platform. Programming languages are in vast numbers, Java, c#, C++, perl, PHP, ruby etc I know I dint write all names.. Even if we give lifetime of say 100 years we wont be able to learn all technologies. Just try to stick with one platform of YOUR choice , the one which YOU are comfortable. 
Following this helps in long survival in field of Computers.
One thing you should know that Programming is about working in your comfort zone. And this I have learned through my own learning experience.
Well I am not finished yet… I will continue on what resources you should use for maximum productivity. If you want to contribute get in touch with me.

Microsoft Has been really committed on giving high quality developer tools for its platform.
Some of them are Visual studio series , Expression Studio series, MS-SQL server series or latest tools like Webmatrix etc.
So here is some thing that may interest many people who are migrating to Visual studio 2010.
This slides explain what are the new features available in Visual studio 2010, for programmers, Testers, Analyzers etc.
Here check out this slide in found on slideshare.

Advantages of the .NET Framework

Hello Friends today we are going to recall some of the great advantages of .Net Framework.
As we Know that .Net Framework acts as a base to all class libraries.
It is build specially to provide highly Integrated but still a very flexible platform so that developers can built business and enterprise solutions for available architecture and apllicationsBy adopting the .NET Framework’s distributed application model,developers can

derive many advantages.The .NET Framework provides developers with:

◆ A rich programming framework for building Win32 client applications

◆ A unified Web development platform that provides the services neces-

sary for developers to build enterprise-class Web applications

◆ A URL-addressable resource that programmatically returns information

to clients who have requested it

◆ The ability to build components that efficiently manage data from mul-

tiple data sources and that support disconnected scenarios

◆ A standards-based support for processing XML

◆ The ability to interact with COM components,.NET Framework ser-

vices,external type libraries,and many operating system services

◆ The ability to control access to operations and resources based on policy

and a set of configurable rules to determine which permissions to grant

to code,based on the code’s domain,user,and assembly

◆ The ability to pass objects by value or by reference between distributed

applications

◆ A programming interface to many of the protocols found on the net-

work,such as HTTP,DNS,TCP,and UDP

◆ The ability to use the COM+ Services including transactions,object

pooling,and queued components

◆ Access to the Active Directory from managed code

◆ Lower total cost of ownership by enabling powerful enterprise-class

management of systems,applications,and devices

◆ Support for globalization and localization of resources

Today we are going to recall some of the great advantages of .Net Framework.
As we Know that .Net Framework acts as a base to all class libraries.
It is built specially to provide a highly Integrated but still a very flexible platform so that developers can build business and enterprise solutions for available architecture and applications
By adopting the .NET Framework’s distributed and wide application model,
developers can have many advantages to build their solutions and applications.

The .NET Framework provides developers with:

◆ A rich programming framework for building Win32 client applications. (all the nice goodies of class libraries are included)

◆ A unified Web development platform that provides the services necessary for developers to build enterprise-class Web applications.

◆ A URL-addressable resource and solutions that programmatically(AsCoded)  returns information to clients who have requested it.

◆ The ability to build components that efficiently manage data from multiple data sources and support disconnected scenarios.

◆ Standards-based support for processing XML 

◆ The ability to interact with COM components,.NET Framework services, external type libraries, and many operating system services

◆ The ability to control access to operations and resources based on policy and a set of configurable rules to determine which permissions to grant to code, based on the code’s domain, user, and assembly

◆ The ability to pass objects by value or by reference between distributed applications.
