PROGRAMMER OR DISPATCHER?

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BECOME A PROGRAMMER?

Programming is a sought-after and well-paid job in today’s digital world.


WHAT PRIOR KNOWLEDGE IS REQUIRED?

To become a programmer, one must possess general computer literacy and an understanding of the basics of computers, the Internet, network modules, as well as mobile devices that take over the primacy of our daily lives.


The concepts of working and general memory (RAM) and (HDD / SSD / MMC), then graphics card (GPU) and processor (CPU) are some of the hardware parts that you need to know, as well as different operating systems such as Linux, Windows, MacOS, Android and IOS.


You do not need to be Einstein in mathematics, but you must know concepts such as loops, variables, conditions, functions, because in principle, the job of a programmer is to solve mathematical and logical problems.


Knowledge of English is so necessary that it is eliminatory. As we’re talking about a “live” topic that is updated daily with novelties,  in order to be up to date with the work, you need to constantly re-evaluate your knowledge and be in loop with all the updates. This brings stress to a lot of young newcomers.

HOW MUCH TIME SHOULD BE TAKEN FOR A BEGINNER TO UNDERSTAND THE BASICS OF PROGRAMMING?

Learning programming requires a large part of your daily routine and requires you to commit to a longer period of time, several months or even years. It is illusory to think that any programming language can be learned within two or three months.

INVESTMENT IN EQUIPMENT IS INEVITABLE


In order to engage in programming, you need to invest in equipment. It is not possible to work with my mother’s old computer on which she plays solitaire. Also, it is not possible to work with a new, low-performance new computer. So, save your bag if you plan to go that route.


VARIABLES, MODIFICATIONS, DIFFERENT OPTIONS AND ADDITIONS TO THE BASIC KNOWLEDGE


Once you learn one programming language you will not be extremely interesting in the job market. No matter how good a master he is, he cannot finish his job with just one tool. Computer languages ​​are tools in the hands of programmers, and you have to deal with more of them in order to improve your chances with employment.


For starters there are HTML and CSS as well JavaScript, PHP, Python, Java and SQL so go ahead and choose.


AND HOW DOES IT LOOK LIKE FOR A BEGINNER TO START THE COURSE FOR A DISPATCHER?


On the other hand, to become a dispatcher, the demands are not nearly as high. The path to the realized dispatcher is more or less linear, somewhat predictable and simple, which serves as a contrast to the thorny path to the realized programmer.

A NECESSARY KNOWLEDGE YOU CAN’T DO WITHOUT

When we talk about computer literacy within this industry and the job of dispatcher, using an internet browser, email and any PDF editor is most, if not all, that one person needs. And that is something that everyone who uses social networks is familiar with.

SPECIAL SOFTWARE USED BY THE DISPATCHER


What distinguishes the dispatcher from the average internet user is the few software that he uses on a daily basis, which we talk about in detail within the course. While the job of a programmer requires intuitive thinking that cannot be learned, but is created over time (as in learning a foreign language), the job of a dispatcher does not encounter these problems. After completing the training and getting acquainted with all the software necessary for this job, you are ready for employment.


ALL THE KNOWLEDGE YOU NEED IN ONE PLACE, COMPLEXED FOR YOU


With programming, we encounter oversaturation within the “programming course” market, where 80% of online courses are basic knowledge that can be found with one Google search, while 20% can be qualified as a material that gives you a competitive edge. When it comes to dispatchers within the US market, there is a completely different problem – a lack of information. There are no courses or essays aimed at this industry, which is the main reason why we decided to establish a training that includes everything from paperwork, regulation within the country to business English focused on this job.


ONCE LEARNED, FOREVER APPLICABLE


The responsibilities of the dispatcher for the logistics of land transport and the way it is performed is a constant, meaning that it does not change. This is important to note, because for many, the biggest flaw of the IT industry is that you constantly have to keep up with new changes within the language in which you work, similar to a lawyer who has to keep up to date with new laws being amended by the state. Everything you learn in this dispatcher course is directly applicable today, tomorrow, in 6 months, and even in 2 years. This comes from someone who has been in the industry for more than 7 years, and does the job the same way he did today, as he did in 2015.
