There are a lot of programmers/ developers in the whole world but only a few of them can be called Good Programmers. Programming is a field of creativity, intelligence, talent as well as hard work. In this article, we will tell you everything you need to know about the qualities a Good programmer possesses.
(1) Programming languages
To become a good programmer, you should definitely have good control over a programming language. It can be any language like C, C++, Java, etc. When it comes to which programming language to choose from, it depends on your area of interest. You have to decide on one language you love to solve problems of and are comfortable with. Some of the most famous and most demanded languages are Javascript, SQL, HTML, and Python.
(2) Source Control
Source Control helps a programmer in managing and storing his code. Companies in today’s world like to hire people who are proficient in version control and collaborate with other team members. Thus, if you are comfortable with version control concepts and tools like Git, Mercurial, SVN, etc you are more likely to be hired.
(3) Databases
Now, we are talking pure programming. A good programmer should be able to work well with databases.

MongoDB, Cassandra, Redis are the possible databases you can work with.
(4) Operating System
A Good Programmer should know the fundamentals and mechanisms of an operating system. When a programmer work on a project, they come face to face with many issues related to the operating system. Moreover, when a developer writes codes on one machine and that doesn’t,t work with other machines, it can create a serious issue during the production level. So, a programmer should definitely have knowledge about the operating system he is working on.
(5) Encryption and Cryptography
When it comes to developing an application which demands sensitive permissions from the user, it is necessary to create a secure and encrypted key to prevent all kinds of attacks. This is why a programmer should be familiar with encryption while developing an application. It is not an easy process because of the increased intelligence in the hackers but a Good Programmer would make it really difficult for a hacker to hack an application.
Cryptography helps a developer to make a secure system, secure database and helps in transmitting secure output over the network after processing the request.
Well, we hope you liked the tips mentioned to become a good Programmer. Everything depends on your hard work in the field of programming. Additionally, to be honest programming is a difficult field and if you find yourself bored and not able to give hours on code, do not attempt to go into the field of programming. The competition in today’s world will make it difficult to get in that field.
