At first, its all good and exciting. But after a few weeks, the downside of the jobs comes to face in the form of deadlines, bug, reports, being yelled by at your manager sets up irritating you .Don’t worry we have got you shielded .Here are same basic problem every programmer faces:

  • Not understanding the user
In software development, user eccentricity isn’t an option it’s a priority. Its mostly not easy for new programmers to understand what their visitor is wishing for, since they rarely get to interact with them. To overcome this hurdle you can:

1.Talk to the people who have direct access to users:

In this way, you will be able to learn more things about the user. His experience, views and many more things can be learned and changes can made accordingly in the website.

2.Test your product:

Release a beta version to the user’s first, so that the user can firstly experience it and give their views about it . Various major brands like Apple uses this technique to improve their version. In this way, if you don’t have access then testing your product is the best option one can get.

  • Debugging
Debugging all of it sounds overwhelming for new programmers. Some bugs are easy to handle but a lot aren’t which can lead to the lost development time and endless frustration for new programmers. Even the best written code can they can be fixed. Her’s how

  1. Reproduce the error
To fix your bugs, understand why they happened. Begin by reproducing them. During this process you will learn many things which help you in decode the problem.


  1. Get help and support:
If you can’t reproduce a bug, get help. The tester who found the bug can help reproduce it for you or ask a friend to help you out.

  • Keeping up with technology
Front end frameworks mostly last for a year or two before new updated versions gets shaped .Experienced programmers know that iterations and frequent updates come with the territory and you have to adapt to it in order to survive. As a new programmer, you might buckle under that pressure.

  • Time estimation
As professional working in an industry that is controlled by deadlines, you might be asked to provide an estimate or the time it would take to complete a task such as debugging code or complete certain features in the code. Estimates are important in software development . They can be identified on basis of price quotes and project schedule. Schedule delays cause problems and may compromise trust. The only fix to that problem is adjust yourself and break down tasks after timing yourself appropriately.

  • Security Threats
Data is valuable commodity and most of the people are prepared to pay a lot for it, including your client’s competitors which are always looking to prey into a top secret project that you might be working on. As a programmer, you might end up overlooking security loopholes especially if your attention is mostly on dispatching a error-free code rather than inspecting to see if it’s secure. Hackers know this deficiency and starts peeking for ways to infiltrate your code. To prevent attack, use parameterized queries for SQL injections. Also, keep your workstation secure. Enemies aren’t always online they can be at your workspace.

Hi @davidbuttler. It's always a good idea to ask for help when you run into problems, especially when they are technical issues relating to specific software packages. I find that a friendly and succinct email to a customer support representative often answers most questions, because typically the customer support team will run into the same type of issues on a regular basis. They are also likely to have first hand knowledge and experience of using the software, including of both the past and most recent software version releases. From the customer support team's viewpoint answering the same question repeatedly can be very time consuming and for that reason they often post F.A.Q.'s which you can search to find answers. Generally I will search the F.A.Q. database BEFORE emailing customer support. It can also be helpful to mention that you have done this is your email as the customer support team may not be aware of the issue. They are also likely to direct you to the F.A.Q. database, so by mentioning that you have already searched the F.A.Q. database they either may not recommend this in a canned response, or they may rename the H-1 and M.E.T.A title of the entry to make it easier to find. You can also find many answers to common questions with either a simple search engine query or on a technical discussion forum. I hope this was an informative response. Cheers.
