Hello,
What college degrees, educatinal qualifications or certifications are needed to become a computer programmer?
Can I become a computer programmer without getting a college degree first?
Thank you
You don't need a special educational background to become a software developer because computer programmers are professionals with engineering or liberal arts or computer science degrees as well as professionals without college degrees.
Computer Programming careers unlike most other careers are big on hands-on computer programming experience and not on educational qualifications or computer science degrees or even computer programming certifications.
Because new computer programming languages are always being introduced and the existing ones are always being improved, expertise in the use of specific computer programming languages along with a portfolio or code samples or actual working code is generally preferred or valued over software development paper qualifications.
