Programmers work closely with software developers, and in some businesses their duties overlap. When such overlap occurs, programmers can do work that is typical of developers, such as designing the program. Program design entails planning the software initially, creating models and flowcharts detailing how the code is to be written, writing and debugging code, and designing an application or systems interface. Programmers often use an IDE, which allows them to create, edit, and test code. Without coding softwares are not imaginable. In India IT companies have lots of opportunities for good programmers. Languages like R, Python, JAVA, PHP and UNIX are some of the high demand programming languages. Pay scales for fresh graduates in with good programming skills range from 3-5 LPA and upside is immense.
