A must-read for girls choosing a career as a programmer

To be honest, if you are not interested, then it is best for girls not to become programmers.

Being a programmer is hard and tiring, and it’s not good for your health. You may make more money temporarily, but future development will also be a big problem. Especially now many companies do not recruit women as programmers...unless you are very good.

If you have chosen to be a programmer, congratulations, you must be prepared for at least three things.

1. Give up your normal life, give up the mentality of women who love beauty, devote your energy to reading books, coding and writing programs, and give up your hobby of shopping and makeup, otherwise you will be quickly eliminated by new people and new technologies.

2. Be mentally prepared to be rejected and exploited. Due to physiological reasons, programmers in the software industry generally do not like to use women. Even if a female programmer is a female programmer, the salary is difficult to exceed that of a male programmer, unless... You are awesome.

3. Be prepared for long-term low income. Programmers who have just entered the industry generally earn between 2-3K (it does not rule out that if you are lucky, Microsoft will give you an income of 10K), and if you cannot develop within 2-3 years, then your salary will be around 4-5K There will be no change, and you will continue to receive this salary until you are kicked out of the ranks of programmers at the age of 30.

If you are willing, then I will give you some knowledge you should learn based on the major you want to engage in in the future.

If you are not intimidated after reading what I wrote, then I will continue to talk about what you should learn.

As a programmer, you should choose the direction of your efforts. Are you going to do ERP, communications, embedded, etc.? Are you going to develop under the WINDOWS platform or UNIX LINUX? Are you going to use technology-technical architecture or technology-management in the future? If you just go passively and just want to get more money, then I can tell you that you are a failure as a programmer, and the road will become narrower and narrower in the future. Don’t expect the company to consider development for you. Domestic companies are very Selfish.

In any case, as a programmer, you must master the following contents

C language, data structure, algorithm, compilation principles (not mandatory, at least know lexical analysis and syntax analysis), some basic principles of OS (process scheduling , memory scheduling, etc.), computer architecture, software engineering

Other requirements are at least CET-4 (otherwise MSDN can’t read it), writing programs, don’t be too bad at math

If you master these contents, it means that you are at least We are on the same starting line as those who came from a major. Next, you can engage in professional development based on your own willingness. Development can be roughly divided by platform

1. WINDOWS platform

2. LINUX/UNIX platform

3. Embedded platform

WINDOW platform has the most opportunities and the lowest remuneration. LINUX/UNIX is the second platform and embedded has the best remuneration. But the learning opportunities are just the opposite. The WIN platform is easy to learn. LINUX/UNIX is generally used for mainframes, and you probably won’t use these things on a daily basis. As for embedded, if the company doesn’t give you the opportunity to learn, then there is nothing you can do. Enter this industry.

Dangru, if you are proficient in one of the three platforms, your salary will be very high. But I dare say that even in CSDN, there are not many people who can truly understand the operating mechanism of WINDOWS and use the API proficiently.

If you do network, the network can also be divided into many parts. Are you going to do wiring, management, architecture or R&D? If it is research and development, it can be divided into writing general communication programs, routing and other network equipment research and development (already hard), etc.

Then it is recommended that you are at least familiar with the following content

Multi-platform process scheduling, multi-threading and thread synchronization (TCP/IP protocol is normal for communication on different platforms)
