The duties of the programmer include all the items specified in the instructions and / or contract. He is such a qualified specialist who is engaged in the production of utilities. Often they confuse him with system administrators or some other employees of the IT department, although the occupation is significantly different.
In terms of terminology, the word "programmer" cannot be called a specialty or position. It means an occupation or qualification. Therefore, in the contract or job description next to this word is an explanation. For example, a technician, laboratory assistant or engineer.
General Provisions
The programmer’s instruction defines the rights, duties and responsibilities of the employed employee. But it begins with the approval of a specific person for the position and general provisions. It indicates the head, employee and his details, what he should be guided in the process of his activities and what knowledge to have.
There are manufacturing companies and organizations that also need the workers in question. In such cases, the programmer at the enterprise is developing utilities for machine tools and equipment. Sometimes he redo software codes so that the standards of products meet state requirements. He can also rewrite utilities so that the language is understood by machine workers. Simply put, translate an interface.
The general provisions indicate to whom the programmer becomes subordinate, as well as his personal staff, if any.

All the duties of a programmer are characterized by his skills. Therefore, it is not uncommon for MDI to indicate knowledge requirements. They fall into three main categories.
First, a programmer needs to be able to use computer technology and mobile devices. He should be well versed in their operational and technical characteristics.
Secondly, the programmer needs to be able to use the appropriate software, as well as take part in its creation and development. It can be both individual and team. This also includes knowledge of operating systems, programming languages, features of the development of utilities and their individual components.
And thirdly, the programmer should familiarize himself with the forecasting and prevention of problems in the software being produced.
There is secondary knowledge that is not directly related to the activities of a specialist. They relate to the law and internal labor regulations. You can familiarize yourself with them in the process.
