There are many different ways that a software coder (application system
developer) can earn a living:
as a employee, a contractor or as an owner/operator of the software that he or she has developed.
Many application system developers work for an employer that pays an
hourly wage, provides paid leaves and benefits and offers some degree of
employment security. Any software that is created by the software coder, however, is owned
solely by the employer.
There are many job placement firms that will assist application software coders
to find
suitable employment. Most employers want software
developers that have knowledge and experience with specific
programming languages,
database management systems and computer platforms.
