| Can Someone tell me what Certification IT Support needs and what certification IT programmer needs? | |
|
| IT support: depending on what you are supporting... generally low level support does Desktop OS... ie some type of windows and office apps.
Programmer... no certificate needed... what you need is a real legit college degree... and a portfolio of work... ie... maybe you wrote some little apps and put it on some opensource or free code site etc etc... certification (such as various java and msd* )do not teach you algorithm design, which is the real meat of programming... syntax... any monkey can do that. | |

| Head translator for the uninitiated 
code monkey n 1. A person only capable of grinding out code, but unable to perform the higher-primate tasks of software architecture, analysis, and design. Mildly insulting. Often applied to the most junior people on a programming team. 2. Anyone who writes code for a living; a programmer. 3. A self-deprecating way of denying responsibility for a management decision, or of complaining about having to live with such decisions. As in "Don't ask me why we need to write a compiler in+COBOL, I'm just a code monkey."
