What do coders do?

Career: Coder

A computer coder, also called a computer programmer, designs, writes, and then tests code for computer software or mobile applications. Some programming jobs require you to know one specific programming language, while others may need you to know multiple languages. In this career, you work closely with developers, and depending on the nature and size of your company, you may have overlapping duties. Most computer coders have a bachelor’s degree in computer science, computer programming, or a closely related field, but a degree is not always necessary; many employers consider applicants who have significant programming experience and proficiency in coding without a formal education.
