This is generally for non IT people who wish to pursue their
career in IT field. I would like to share my experience, as I also belong to
non-IT background. I completed my BE degree
in electrical and electronics stream in 2015.Though I had interest in this
branch, I always wished to join some core electrical company, I was also good
in studies and also got good percentage in my engineering. But the same time I
also had good interest in programming. In my first year I had one subject
related to basic c programming and it is there in every university syllabus, I
guess. I had not tasted the essence of programming till then , so I was not
sure about my programming skills. Again in my 3RD year I had one more
subject related to bit programming i.e. 8051 Microcontroller and that involves
assembly language program and embedded C. Trust me, I really enjoyed that
subject. We have to interface microcontroller with some hardware like motor,
relays, LED etc. and I found that the embedded C seemed to be easy and simple
for me. From there my real passion for programming began. I started reading
book related to C again and I started working on other microcontroller also
i.e. NXP 1768, PIC microcontroller, I used to download pdf and videos related
to them. And few other classmates of
mine, kept suggesting the core company, they use to say why people shift to IT field
from non-IT field. At that time, I had
no clear idea which field to go.
In final year we had to do project, I was clear from my side
that I have to do project related to microcontroller but my other friend
opposed by saying that they had to do programming in that and that also in PIC
microcontroller which they had never studied. But I had made my mind and I influenced
them to agree upon the project. Finally as a result of our hard-work the
project was ready and it felt like I finally achieved something.
The purpose of sharing is that, I want to say that for
becoming programmer you don’t need to be from CS or IT background. According to
me how creative you are and how differently you think is all that matters. Your
logical approach should be good and clear. You should have the determination to
take up the challenges and a little hard-work that’s all you need, to be a good
programmer. If you have studied any programming language and you have interest
in that then go for it. Don’t think that I don’t know JAVA, C++ and other
things, always remember only syntax differs in every language but the logical approach
remain the same.
Later, I joined one of the reputed IT MNC company, where I
am learning other language like C++, Python etc. and I am really enjoying
it. So I want to tell every other
student who is in college or wishing to join IT field, branch doesn’t matter
and it will not decide your career path. It is you who decides your career,
your life and go for it!!
s ur true bro..
