Hello Prashant,
Software development is not an easy job by diploma holders. Diploma holders
are to compete with the B.Tech degree holders in open market. Out of them
only a few can become top level developers.
I am not going to discourage the students to become developers but one
should
keep in mind the capabilities / challenges of doing such jobs .
Thanks
Sandeep Kaler

Subject: [AI] Guidence on programming career
Dear Accessindians,
I have following queries especially for all those who are into
programming profession like Harish, Dinesh, Manish Agarwal, Zujar,
Charu, Sai, Dipendra, Pranav, Prashant Verma, Shreenivasu and many
more from these list who are into actual programming and IT / Testing
field .
Generally a lot of our students are interested in IT field as a
profession. And in IT sector they feel programming is the only option
which is not a fact. They always inquire about how and where they can
learn programming? What is a career scope for them? What about
screen reader accessibility with different programming languages,
technologies and environments? And so on.
Many of these students are from non-IT background like either pursuing
their degree in arts or degree / master holder in arts stream, etc.
Few are good computer user with jaws and few are not so good in even
basic operation of windows, office applications and jaws.
During career seminars or workshop most of the VI students will have
desire to go for IT and in particular programming.
So following are my few queries.
1. What basic skills they need to have?
2. How they can test themselves whether they can do programming or not?
3. Any preliminary exam / test they can give to test their logic
development and basic program development skills?
4. You have option to go for programming training at training
institutes like N I I T, Aptech, etc. or you can do it from NAB
Karnataka, NIVH, GTL, etc. what we can suggest considering factors
like fees, duration, market recognition, course content, training
quality, etc.
5. What about communication skills, English, Maths knowledge?
6. Students and their parents spend huge amount in enrolling them for
programming course from private institutes but is it worth?
7. What is a current status on getting break into programming job?
Many IT companies do prefer engineering and computer application
degree as entry criteria. and what about accessibility at work place
for differnt programming situations, remote servers, GUI development,
sharing terminals, team support, seniors / colleague awareness, etc.
8. What you will advise these students in general?
Hoping to have a good discussion and response on this topic.
Best regards,
Prashant Naik
