Recent Tutoring Session Reviews
Today we covered the contents of the first half of chapter 3. We also introduced variables and showed the student some of the fundamentals of debugging a program.

We began this session by reviewing the homework that I had assigned for the student. On the whole, this was fine, though some small formatting issues had to be addressed. We then altered a mistake that he made in a further extension of an assigned program for generating a variable-sized diamond (via console output). I then used the assigned averaging program to teach him how to use variable-amount iterations for input loops. (We are continuing to solidify some earlier concepts, being a bit more careful not to proceed too quickly.) I then used the library to provide a new set of assignments using randomization to output various shapes. This will be used in the next session to revisit classes and the general syntax involved in defining and using them, as well as to remind him of the use of methods, which are still not natural to his programming technique.

On Tuesday, we had to spend a significant amount of time working on her Media class, since she had an essay due as well as her online portion of her homework. We watched 3 short YouTube videos about the portrayal of female characters in video games and its negative impacts, then had to write a 3 page essay analyzing it. It involved a lot of specifics, so it took quite some time to go through the videos. She is struggling in that class so we wanted to make sure the paper was solid. Then we went through her Tuesday online material, and connected with the people in her group project for that class which starts the next week. She was studying for an exam in her Human and Animal Interactions class, which she is very concerned about. We calculated her grades together, and it is still very possible for her to pass the class if she does well on the last paper and decent on the 3 remaining exams.

In this session, the student did a couple of assignments. We went over what data types were, as well as how to write to standard output and read to standard input. For homework, I told him to read over the slides and to download the c compiler for our next session tomorrow.

Varsity Tutors can help you get more out of your computer programming education by setting you up with experienced and helpful computer programming tutors. Getting started with a computer programming tutor could be just what you need to reach for your goals in the subject area. You'll be able to focus on the specific topics that you need the most help with thanks to the unique one-on-one setting that computer programming tutoring takes place in. Computer programming is a challenging field that can be hard to learn at a high level when studying alone. Why not work with an expert who can provide you with the guidance that you need to unlock more of your potential? If you'd like to get started with this process, one of the easiest ways to do so is by reaching out to us today. You can also keep reading the sections below to get more information about this field and examples of the specific ways that private instructors can help you get more out of your education in it.
What is Computer Programming?
At a broad level, the easiest way to describe computer programming is as a discipline that involves writing detailed instructions to help various computer programs run effectively. These instructions are called code. This process of writing code is the main thing that a computer programmer will do when working in the industry. Code is used in a variety of ways, but they always are created to help a computer solve a problem or carry out a task.
If you're interested in working as a computer programmer, then you can work on a variety of different technical things. For instance, you could use your skill set to create and manage stunning websites that keep users engaged and interested in the company that you've been hired to help. This could involve writing code that makes the web page that users see easy to use. Or, you could use your unique skill set as a computer programmer to build back-end software that helps these websites run from behind the scenes.
You may also be interested in creating applications. For example, you could create computer programs that help users accomplish challenging tasks on the computer in easier ways. This type of programming could lead you to create things like word processing programs, business programs, or even video games. With the wide variety of computer uses in today's modern world, there are truly no limits to the interesting things that you can do if you have a high-level understanding of computer programming.
Learning Computer Programming
Computer programmers often pursue knowledge in this subject area by working towards either a bachelor's or associate degree. High school students can start to learn about computer programming by signing up for things like AP Computer science classes. These high school courses can give students the foundational skills that they'll need to feel confident pursuing a computer science degree once they move on to college.
Once you're in college, you'll want to take a variety of computer programming courses so that once you graduate you're a well-rounded computer programming professional. This is a list of classes that includes things like discrete mathematics, computer science one and two, software engineering, algorithms, data structures, programming for the web, databases, and more. The specific courses that you take while in college will set you up for one of the many careers that you can pursue while working as a professional in the computer programming industry.
While studying this topic in college, you should also consider taking an internship. Internships are a great way to get hands-on experience in the industries that you want to work in after college. Internships are especially helpful for computer programmers because they give students a chance to encounter the types of problems that professional computer programmers deal with on a daily basis. The information that you learn in class, although very useful, isn't always as practical as the type of experience that you get while actually doing computer programming work as an intern.
Computer programmers should learn a number of different programming languages while in school as well. These languages are how you will communicate with the computers that use your code. They have specific syntaxes that you'll need to know in order to effectively create code. Different computer programming languages were designed to help computer programmers solve different problems. For example, PHP was designed to help programmers create web applications, while C++ is used to build executable standalone applications in most cases. JavaScript, on the other hand, has quickly evolved to allow developers to build full applications using frameworks and libraries that facilitate both rapid application development and improved user experience.
While studying computer programming in college, you'll spend time learning about the aforementioned languages. You may also learn things like Python and Java. Students should also utilize popular database languages like SQL, MySQL, and MongoDB. Your college education will also teach you how to do things like debug code that isn't working properly and how to write algorithms for more efficient operations.
There really is a lot to learn while studying to become a computer programmer. However, you don't have to go through the process alone. Instead, you may want to work with computer programming tutors who can help you develop a better understanding of the topics that you're studying in class. Working with a computer programming tutor gives you the opportunity to get an expert's guidance as you study the subject area's most challenging topics. You can easily get started on working with an experienced instructor by contacting us today.
Computer Programming Career Opportunities
As you learn about the finer points of computer programming, you'll start to get a sense of what you'd like to work on once you graduate from school. This will provide you with insight about which career opportunities will be right for you post-graduation. There are a large number of options that you can choose from. You could work as a software architect, a game programmer, a software tester, a technical project manager, and more. You'll want to develop a targeted set of skills that will help you in your chosen career path. This is something that working with a private computer programming instructor can help you with. In the next section, you'll get more information about private computer programming instruction and how it can help you get more out of your academic opportunities.
