Small But Troublesome Problems For Programmer

In the process of generating software, it is often for a programmer to use other supporting software to simplify the process. These softwares could be in the form of component(s) or a ‘ready to use' software. As an example is the utilization of calendar components. With these components, a programmer would not have to prolong the generating process of a software.


The existence of this supporting software such as the calendar components pleases the programmer for sure. Because with these kind of softwares means the time needed for the generating process can be reduced. Ironically, a lot of these softwares have licensing agreement for the operational, in other words price tag. This issue is going to make the programmer think twice whether he is going to use the software or not. This is of course not a problem for someone with a loaded pocket, but for other programmer who would not or cannot use this software then they have to build the software by themselves. Time consuming will be an additional problem here. Programmer can also still using the licensed software which has already cracked by cracker, but this kind of action has legal consequences behind it. Still, these cracked software can be found in the underground websites.


Generous efforts from the programmers in making websites containing information of tutorial programming had helped in resolving presented problems, especially for beginner programmer. Some of the websites are IlmuKomputer.com
(http://www.ilmukomputer.com) and Planet-Source-Code.com (http://planet-source-code.com). From these kind of sites, a programmer will be able to extract all the information he may needed and also increasing his ability in developing softwares. Another effect of the similar websites is also decreasing the programmer dependency on licensed software. But for a certain condition the use of licensed software is unavoidable.


The solution for problems arise in software generating process will depends on each programmer. Each step will influence the time and generating process.
