Software developers are the creative minds behind computer programs. While some develop the applications that allow people to do specific tasks on a computer or another device, others develop the underlying systems that run the devices or that control networks. They are often involved in the entire development process for a new software program, from discussing plans with customers, to designing the program itself, to instructing programmers on how to build it.
The software development industry is booming, with a projected job growth of 22 percent in the U.S. in the next ten years—much faster than the average occupation. As smartphones, tablets, and the applications that make them accessible to the average consumer continue to integrate into our lives, the demand for software developers will increase.
